Huisfit (Royal Huisman refit)
Huisfit is Royal Huisman's refit and rebuild division, set up formally in 2011 and run mainly from the former Holland Jachtbouw yard near Amsterdam since 2019, with Vollenhove and a German dock at Emden as extra capacity. It takes yachts from any builder, with sailing yacht rigs and classic rebuilds a strong part of the work, and the group has been owned by O2 Capital Partners since 2024.
