I’ve been tracking ASIA since her launch. She’s a 61-metre superyacht with 1,268 GT of volume, built by Royal Hakvoort in the Netherlands. Exterior and interior are by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, with Diana Yacht Design on the naval architecture. Delivered in May 2024 and actively cruising through 2025, she blends northern-European craftsmanship with modern, low-noise engineering.
Key Takeaways
- 61 m / 1,270 GT full-custom Royal Hakvoort with Sinot design and Diana Yacht Design naval architecture.

- 12 guests / 6 cabins; standouts include an owner’s deck apartment, VIP with private salon, and a versatile beach club.
- Range: ~3,800 nm @ 12 kn, up to ~4,800 nm @ 10 kn; max ~15 kn.
- Delivered 2024; actively cruising in 2025 with a wellness-forward, guest-centric layout.

- Main-deck VIP: a VIP suite with its own salon for additional privacy.
- Lower-deck guest cabins: four large doubles with direct beach-club access.

Beach Club, Wellness & Living Spaces

Quiet, Efficient Engineering
ASIA’s hybrid-assisted setup is about comfort as much as range. The diesel-electric support and heat-recovery systems aim to lower fuel burn, cut noise and vibration, and keep nights at anchor serene. Tankage is generous—around 130,000 L fuel and 20,000 L fresh water—so longer passages feel effortless.
Timeline & Status
- Launch: January 2024
- Sea trials: spring 2024
- Delivery: May 2024
- Cruising program: Med and Caribbean on her maiden season; broader itineraries in 2025
Why ASIA Stands Out
Plenty of yachts look good at the quay. ASIA feels sorted once you’re aboard. Thoughtful guest flow. A real wellness deck. An owner’s apartment that lives like a private residence. And engineering choices that prioritize comfort without giving up capability.
