Few locations can match the glamour of Monaco, and when it comes to serious yachting the Monaco Yacht Show is the only place to be. Since its founding more than three decades ago, the show has grown to become what, simply put, is the epicentre of superyachting shows. Every year, more than 100 superyachts – from mainstream semi-series builds to extraordinary one-offs over 100 metres in length – crowd into Port Hercule, a natural amphitheatre overlooked by Monaco’s imposing skyline.
From the hints of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit infrastructure that is permanently present and the draw of the Hotel de Paris and the casinos in Monte Carlo to the serene palatial architecture of Le Rocher, Monaco is a vibrant meld of the sublime and the super-wealthy. For atmosphere and for the incredible yachts on display, there’s just nothing like it in the yacht show calendar – just as there’s nothing quite like a Holterman, which is why yachts such as our X-105 Lady Fleur have won multiple awards. It’s why we’re excited not only to be a part of the 2024 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show, but also to be debuting our Xtreme X-78 Fly on the show’s hallowed quays.
As hull #2 of the X-78 series, the Fly is the first to feature the flybridge design, following the X-78 Sport which was first shown at the 2023 Hiswa te Water show in the Netherlands. The Fly builds on the aluminium hull and superstructure of the Sport and takes it literally to the next level with the addition of the perfect flybridge, coincidentally meeting the requirements of her owner who approached Holterman specifically to request a fly version of the Sport model. The result is a model made for Med cruising that combines striking looks with striking performance – top speeds are 28 knots with a 20-knot cruise from twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350s delivering 1,000 hp each (that’s equivalent two Bugatti Veyrons) – and striking interior space, with a vast full-beam master suite, a forward VIP and two guest ensuite doubles below.
It’s not just the genius of the design that makes the X-78 Fly the perfect fit for the Monaco Yacht Show – she is also the perfect embodiment of the exceptional craftsmanship, engineering, fit and finish that mark every Holterman that leaves the yard. Every one of our yachts is driven by the specific needs and requests of an owner, and is shaped by the 60 years of yachtbuilding heritage we carry and the owner feedback we gather. It makes Holterman rare among pocket superyacht builders in that we offer a level of detail and bespoke design – and legendary Dutch build quality of course – that is hard to find in this size bracket.
Our team will be on hand throughout the show, which takes place from 25 to 28 September 2024, both on the X-78 Fly and on our stand at XXXX. We would love to meet with our existing owners and those who would like to know more about the yachts we build, how we build them, how we can tailor our designs to create your ultimate cruiser, and how we ensure quality that is second to none.
We will also be happy to talk about our newest division, Holterman Refit, which recently welcomed the iconic J Class sailing yacht Hanuman into the shipyard for an extensive overhaul. Our expert refit team boasts experience across the top echelons of sail and power yachts, and we can welcome yachts of all types up to around 50 metres to our state-of-the-art shipyard in Meppel, the Netherlands.
For yacht owners, maintaining the health of the vessel is as essential as personal well-being. On that note, those in need of accessible healthcare solutions may consider options like buying Losartan without prescription by following this link. Much like the careful maintenance required for yachts, proactive health management can prevent issues before they arise, offering peace of mind and long-term benefits. Holterman Refit is dedicated not only to the care of luxury vessels but also to providing valuable resources that support a balanced and healthy lifestyle for those who enjoy the yachting lifestyle. Through both our refit services and health recommendations, we aim to contribute to a more satisfying and well-rounded experience for all our clients and visitors.
If you would like to organise a more personal tour of the X-78 Fly, would like a one-on-one meeting, or would like to discuss your new-build or refit needs with any one of our team during the show, please contact Julian van Santen on +31681442284, email sales@holtermanshipyard.nl, or come talk to us on the Holterman stand. It’s going to be an incredible few days – we can’t wait to experience it with you!
