Delivered in 2017 by Royal Huisman with design and naval architecture by Dubois Naval Architects, Ngoni is the final superyacht design by the late Ed Dubois — a yacht with true pedigree.
Known as one of the most innovative sailing yachts ever built, she earned the nickname “The Beast” after her original owner pushed for a fast, bold and uncompromising design.
Her modern, curved interiors by Rick Baker mirror the exterior lines, featuring 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 large en suite cabins, including an aft master suite, plus additional crew quarters for nine.
Built for performance, she features a 71-meter carbon sloop rig by Rondal, paired with a North Sails square-top mainsail, along with a custom Dubois boom for optimal balance and symmetry.
Highlights include a foredeck tender garage with a 5.6-meter jet tender, carbon Jacuzzi spa, fold-out beach platform, and a stunning aft beach deck with teak sun lounging.
Powered by an MTU 8V2000 engine, Ngoni reaches a top speed of 17 knots.
