20 YEARS SINCE THE LAUNCH OF HOLLAND JACHTBOUW’S FIRST MOTOR YACHT

This year marks 20 years since Anjilis, originally launched as Cassiopeia, became the first motor yacht to leave the Holland Jachtbouw shipyard. She was designed by Bill Langan with an elegant interior design by Candace Langan. Cassiopeia represented an important milestone for the yard in 2004. Her maiden voyage through the Baltic Sea, visiting Sweden, Finland, and Russia, was just the beginning of her remarkable journey.

Built with a semi-displacement aluminum hull, Anjilis effortlessly combined classic looks with modern performance. She reaches a top speed of 24 knots and cruises comfortably at 17 knots, making her a versatile yacht for both relaxed and faster-paced voyages. With accommodations for up to seven guests and five crew members, she offers comfort and luxury at sea.

In 2021, Anjilis underwent a significant refit under Patrick Knowles, refreshing her interior and modernizing her systems to maintain her high standards of performance and elegance.

Reflecting on these 20 years, Anjilis / Cassiopeia highlights Holland Jachtbouw’s commitment to building yachts that combine tradition with innovation. Her story continues to inspire us as we look forward to creating more vessels that capture this unique combination. For those interested, Anjilis is currently available for sale at Worth Avenue Yachts.
