Boathouse Auctions, in partnership with Burgess, is pleased to announce SURAMA, a 134′ Royal Huisman yacht for sale at auction. Built in 1997 and refit in 2017, this Royal Huisman ketch-rigged sailing yacht is listed at €4,950,000, tax paid, with bidding starting at €1,000,000 through Boathouse Auctions’ live online yacht auction platform.
For buyers searching for a Royal Huisman auction, or a true Northern European pedigree sailing yacht for sale, SURAMA represents a rare opportunity. The listing broker and seller representative is Jamie Small of Burgess, bringing established superyacht brokerage expertise together with the urgency, visibility, and defined timeline of a live online yacht auction.
Located in Bodrum, Turkey, SURAMA combines Royal Huisman construction, Ted Hood naval architecture, Fontaine exterior design, and Winch Design interiors. Buyers interested in participating should review the auction materials, complete bidder registration, arrange any desired showing or inspection by appointment, and contact Boathouse Auctions with any questions about the process.
Royal Huisman is one of the most respected names in Northern European yacht building, known for custom sailing yachts with exceptional engineering, craftsmanship, and oceangoing capability. A 134′ Royal Huisman yacht for sale at auction is especially relevant for buyers who understand the builder’s reputation and want a clear, time-defined opportunity to participate.
SURAMA was conceived as a self-sufficient world cruiser capable of unsupported voyages to remote destinations. Her lightweight Lloyd’s-classed aluminum hull, ketch rig, and lifting centerboard give her the range, access, and sailing capability serious cruising buyers look for in a Royal Huisman yacht. With draft reducing from 22.3 ft to 9.4 ft, SURAMA can access shallower cruising grounds while preserving offshore performance.
The SURAMA auction is being conducted by Boathouse Auctions in partnership with Burgess. Jamie Small of Burgess represents the seller, while Boathouse Auctions provides the online yacht auction platform, bidder registration process, auction marketing, and real-time bidding environment.
This collaborative model allows the seller to benefit from traditional brokerage expertise while adding the momentum of a scheduled auction. Rather than relying solely on an open-ended listing timeline, the auction process creates urgency, encourages buyer engagement, and gives interested parties a clear deadline to act.
SURAMA is a 134′ Royal Huisman ketch-rigged sailing yacht with an aluminum hull and superstructure, a 28.7 ft beam, 217 GT of volume, and accommodations for up to eight guests in three cabins. Her guest layout includes a split-level aft owner’s suite with private cockpit access, plus two twin guest cabins with Pullman berths, each arranged around a central lobby.
Her interior is designed for relaxed, natural-light living. The deckhouse lounge features wraparound windows and skylights, while the main saloon offers a generous seating area and informal dining. Exterior spaces include an aft cockpit for al fresco dining, seating and dining between the helm stations and flybridge, a wide bimini for shade, and a fold-down swim platform for easy access to the water.
When not under sail, SURAMA is powered by twin 570hp Mercedes/MTU engines, with a reported cruising speed of 11 knots and maximum speed of 12 knots. She also carries substantial cruising systems and equipment intended to support extended time aboard.
A major part of SURAMA’s auction appeal is the depth of her pedigree and maintenance history. She underwent a full refit at Royal Huisman in 2017, followed by extensive winter maintenance in 2018 and 2019. Her listed features include a completed MTU W6 service, double centerboard keel, Ted Hood naval architecture, Fontaine exterior design, and Winch Design interior.
Available auction documents include Auction Sale Terms, Escrow Agreement, Vessel, Engine, and Rig Surveys, W6 Service documentation, Vessel Specifications, Sales Brochure, and Full Deck Plans. For buyers evaluating a 134 Royal Huisman sailing yacht auction or a Royal Huisman ketch for sale at auction, this level of documentation supports informed due diligence before bidding.
For qualified buyers, Boathouse Auctions creates a clear and time-sensitive path to ownership. With bidder qualification, access to available documents, scheduled inspections, and real-time online bidding, participants can evaluate SURAMA with confidence and bid within a transparent, defined auction window. For buyers seeking a Royal Huisman with Northern European pedigree, world-cruising capability, and a compelling starting bid, this is an opportunity designed for action, not an open-ended negotiation. For sellers, the platform creates urgency, visibility, and measurable market response within a defined timeframe.
Advance registration is required to bid. Prospective bidders should pre-register through the SURAMA auction page by clicking Register to Bid. Boathouse Auctions will then guide bidders through identity verification, financial prequalification, and placement of the required EUR 100,000 escrow deposit, all of which must be completed prior to auction day.
Buyer-side broker representation is actively welcomed. The seller offers a 5% brokerage commission to the pre-registered, bona fide broker documented as representing the successful bidder, payable upon closing. An 8% Buyer’s Premium is paid by the successful bidder and calculated based on the highest final bid price.
Showings and inspections of SURAMA are available by appointment in Bodrum, Turkey. To schedule a showing, contact your preferred yacht broker or Boathouse Auctions. Buyers considering a SURAMA yacht for sale at auction should review the available documents, confirm bidding requirements, and complete registration before the live online yacht auction.
Live online bidding for this exceptional ketch-rigged sailing yacht will take place on May 12, 2026. Full auction details, bidder registration instructions, available documents, surveys, mechanical information, and auction terms can be found here.
