Photos: Sky superyacht to have world’s tallest mast, beat Jeff Bezos’ vessel

Dutch shipbuilder Royal Huisman has unveiled plans for Sky, a 264-foot sailing superyacht set to feature the world’s tallest mast at 305 feet, surpassing the height of Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot yacht Koru. The mast’s height is comparable to the Statue of Liberty from ground to torch, making Sky a monumental presence on the water. The yacht will be equipped with a record-setting Rondal rig and designed for extended world cruising, combining full aluminum construction, a long waterline, lift keel, and optimized weight distribution to ensure strong sailing performance. Sky’s design emphasizes maneuverability and operational simplicity, with integrated control systems and twin carbon composite rudders that offer handling comparable to smaller performance sailing yachts under 50 meters. The propulsion system features electric azimuthing propeller pods powered by four main generators and a supplementary battery bank, enabling silent, zero-emission operation certified under Lloyd’s "Hybrid Power" standards. The interior accommodates 10 to 12 guests with luxurious features
