Bold. Fast. Uncompromising. The final Dubois design.
Ngoni is a 58-metre sailing yacht built by Royal Huisman, delivered in 2017 with naval architecture by Ed Dubois. She is the last superyacht designed by the late Dubois, and one of the most innovative sailing yachts ever built. Her original owner pushed for a fast, bold design, which earned her the nickname "The Beast."
The curved interiors by Rick Baker mirror the exterior lines, with bespoke finishes, custom furniture, and striking artwork. The deck saloon offers informal seating with a pop-up TV, formal dining, and a seated bar, all with excellent visibility. Following a 2024 refit, Ngoni accommodates eight guests in four en suite cabins, including an aft master suite, with crew quarters for nine.
She is built for performance, with a 71-metre carbon sloop rig by Rondal, a North Sails square-top mainsail, and a custom Dubois boom. Highlights include a foredeck tender garage with a 5.6-metre jet tender, a carbon Jacuzzi, a fold-out beach platform, and an aft beach deck with teak lounging. Powered by an MTU 8V2000, she reaches 17 knots. Lying in Palma, Mallorca.
