ERICA XII
Erica XII combines the graceful lines of early 20th-century yachts with a modern underwater body and next-generation sloop rig to ensure fast
and comfortable sailing at all times.
Her sleek and well-balanced lines in combination with a modern rig provide this magnificent yacht with the ultimate performance hull, both speed-
wise and in terms of comfort.
Erica XII carries an impressive sail area, which is so
well balanced with the hull that she can be manually
steered in all winds. Downwind her a-symmetric code
sail offers truly impressive power.
Erica’s traditional woodwork on deck generates a
magnificently warm atmosphere. The beautiful cladded
deckhouses and skylights are the epitome of traditional
craftsmanship.
LIFE ON DECK
The focal point of living on a yacht of this size and magnitude is always the deck. Carefully located seating areas are spread across the vast expanse
and offer a variety of places to lounge, dine, party, socialise and sunbathe. Every conceivable activity has been incorporated.
Especially when at sea, the heart of the action revolves around the main cockpit. Here we find the two primary steering positions, an arrangement
that ensures guests feel actively involved in the sailing and all that transpires on deck.
Forward of the main deckhouse is a smaller cockpit. Half sunk into the deck, this offers a private sanctuary for the crew. This cockpit also contains
a remote steering position, which can be used by the crew in special occasions.
Aft of the owners’ deckhouse is an area designed for their private use. Hidden away in deck lockers when not used, two treadmills offer the chance
to stay trim in the open.
The steering helms have a central position in the main cockpit. Here we see modern sailing superyacht technology seamlessly blended with bespoke
classic wood work. Sophisticated cable steering give this 178 ft yacht a direct helm feeling that is rarely found on vessels of this size.
In the evening the well-lit cockpit offers a true al fresco salon. The permanent bimini provides shade in the sun and protection against all the
elements at other times. There is space for comfortable lounging as well as dining, with various areas of the vast cockpit each having their own
functionality.
INTERIOR
The interior design was a team effort between the owners, interior designers, yard and interior decorators.
Descending from the deck into the main deckhouse one reaches a combined seating/dining area, which can also be used for working and
socializing. To the starboard side is a bar with dedicated stools.
A dedicated dining space is found on the starboard side, with a lounging zone to port that doubles as a television area.
Forward of this area is an office and a gym. A moving panel between the gym and lounging area allows people to watch TV while exercising.
The four guest cabins and the owners’ stateroom are situated in the aft part of the yacht and finished in the same style and ambience. Mahogany
tones merge with traditional lines to create a warm atmosphere.

VITTERS SHIPYARD
We are builders of amongst the finest sailing and
motor yachts being produced today. The emphasis is
on delivering superior quality in the finished yacht,
providing seamless support to Owner and crew after
the yacht is delivered and incorporating the lessons
learned from every yacht into every subsequent project,
all while maintaining a competitive commercial position.
Situated on the original Dutch coastline, now in
the heart of the country, Vitters continues to take
advantage of the area’s longstanding boat building
traditions. We employ the best local craftsman and also
utilize the strong infrastructure of specialist technical
companies that continues to grow in support of the
Dutch yacht building industry. The priorities are to
always try to better the quality of the build while at
the same time improving efficiency and always looking
for the simpler, more reliable technical solutions.
Of course Owners are the first and most important
ingredient of every yacht building project. Every Owner
has a unique vision and so each project provides unique
challenges. We in turn challenges the engineering and
construction team to fulfill the Owner’s vision and at
the same time to deliver a strong, safe and practical
superyacht; complying with the usual external regulatory
bodies. The quality and track record of Vitters’ f leet
bears testament to the success of this approach.
