World's Largest Sportfisher Hits the Water

Royal Huisman, a Dutch shipbuilder, has announced the delivery of the 171 foot sportfisher yacht Special One.

Also known as Project 406, the yacht is set to depart from the shipyard in the Netherlands on her maiden voyage and is the world’s largest true sportfisher yacht. She has been building for more than 4 years.

The all-aluminum six level yacht was commissioned by an anonymous buyer who is "an experienced sportfisher", the company said.

Whomever the owner is, it looks like they are sure to win the "mine is bigger than yours" contest at the next big blue marlin tournament.

No word on whether the captain has an elevator to get him up there to the top deck . . . .
