The Maxi 95 was designed to accommodate a family safely and comfortably and also to sail well, the design realised all three goals. Production started in 1972 and continued into the 1980s with incremental improvements occurring each year. Manufacturing was based on the west coast of Sweden and around Lake Vnern which lies 100 km north east from the city of Gothenburg (additional descriptions can be found in our translation of the original Owners Manual). As fibreglass was a new material for boat construction, the moldings were made much thicker (and stronger) than todays productions. Osmosis is rather unknown to most yachts from that era when extra catalyst was added for extra strength. This means that the 20 year old Maxi boats are still structurally strong and ready to continue. Engines and other accessories may wear out and need replacement but the hulls continue to serve well.

A highlight of our Sea of Cortez/Midriff Islands dive trips is snorkeling with whale sharks. These incredible animals - the largest fish in the sea - are truly gentle giants, choosing Bahia de Los Angeles for feeding. It is an incredible, natural experience and one that makes a lifetime of memories.

Secret bay in the South of Ibiza! We did not plan to go at anchor at this bay, we ended up here by chance! We sailed along the famous rockisland Es Vedra when it turned out that the westerly wind would not make it comfortable to anchor there. So we kept sailing for 20 minutes further south along the west coastline of Ibiza, when we suddenly saw this hidden bay between the rock walls! It's a shallow bay about 30 meters wide and max 10 meters deep which has a pebble beach. It is enclosed by steep cliffs and about 5 fisherman's huts built against the rock face. There are no facilities. During the day that we were here, 2 small empty fishingboats were anchored here, 2 locals were sunbathing on the beach and 4 kayaks passed by. It was 1 of our favorite bays, so we made a video with our drone!

The stunning @Royal_Huisman sportfisher Special One is currently berthed with us at our Ocean Village Marina in Southampton. The powerful hull of this unique vessel measures 52m / 171ft overall, and her towering profile accommodates six decks. These remarkable features not only make her the largest, but also the most luxurious and individually true sportfish yacht in the world.
