Project Maia (YN 18350) is a 50m steel hulled, full-displacement motoryacht below the 500GT threshold with exterior design by Clifford Denn and interiors by Reymond Langton.

She has accommodation for 10 guests in 5 staterooms, master suite on the main deck forward, four guest suites, 3 doubles and one twin on the lower deck. Crew accommodation is for 10 in 5 cabins.

Maia’s tenders are carried on the fore deck where they can be easily and quickly deployed, and allow for a luxurious beach club, complete with a bar, sauna and pulsating sound system.

Powered by two MTU 1,000 kW engines Project Maia will reach a top speed of 15 knots and will have a range of 3,800nm at cruising speed of 12 knots. At 10 knots the fuel consumption will be 95 L/h and at maximum speed (15 knots) it will be 390 L/h.

Project Maia’s naval architecture and engineering is done by Heesen’s in-house talented and uber-experienced team.

Clifford Denn created this gorgeous, flowing, simple yet complex exterior design which sets Maia apart from all competitors.

Maia’s profile embodies Heesen’s DNA yet also includes original design elements that give her a unique and distinctive look.

Car enthusiasts will easily recognize how Project Maia’s exterior lines are inspired by contemporary and classic car design. The grilles on the main deck aft fashion plates, for example, are only one of the many design details that lend “contemporary” appeal.

Heesen’s traditional pelican bow, with its reversed sheer line, is perfectly integrated into the curvaceous shapes introduced by Clifford Denn for a timeless yet sporty look: Clifford has made us proud by creating something refreshingly new while respecting and interpreting the Heesen family feeling.

Outdoor spaces are carefully thought to maximise the balance between the yacht’s interior volumes and exterior spaces. The result is 250 square metres of deck space arranged over three levels.
Sun deck statistics? More than 68 square metres of space and an overall length of 16 metres for guests to enjoy and relax.

We appointed Reymond Langton Design, with whom we successfully created the award winning interior of Ann G, to design Maia’s interiors.

They have created a beautiful, classic and homely design that works both as a comfortable and elegant private yacht but, can also accommodate charter guests if so desired.

Project Maia just entered the outfitting period at Heesen shipyard in Oss, and will be available for delivery in 2018 after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.

Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce that the owner of Project Nova (YN 17850) has appointed Italian designer Cristiano Gatto as interior stylist.

Sold in June 2016, Project Nova is the world’s first Fast Displacement with hybrid propulsion. The client, a yacht enthusiast, was attracted by the dynamic exterior design and the impressive performance of this innovative and super quiet superyacht.

“The owner asked us to modify colour scheme, design details and overall decoration to give the interior a contemporary, almost minimalist design,” comments Cristiano Gatto, who worked closely with the owner and his team to personalise the interior to match the client’s lifestyle. “We stepped in when the outfitting works were at an advanced stage, so we had to work with the existing structures. A two-tone palette has been chosen to give the interiors a bright and relaxing feel. The contrast between the pure white of fabrics, leather and lacquered surfaces and the warm hues of woods, create a sophisticated ambience in all the rooms, bathrooms included. Hints of colour brighten the scheme with deep red or burgundy decorative items, cushions and throws in both the exterior and interior areas to catch the eye and juice things up. The linearity of design is enriched by geometrical patterns, precious materials and meticulously designed details.”

Project Nova is scheduled to be launched on April 14, 2017, at the Heesen shipyard in Oss.

On September 27, 2016 Galactica Super Nova was awarded Best Exterior Design and Finest New Superyacht of the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show.

Congratulations to her visionary Owners and to the exterior designer Espen Oeino!

This is the third international accolade received by Heesen’s flagship.

The 70m Galactica Super Nova and the newly built 85m dry dock are a sign of yet bigger and better things to come for Heesen shipyards.

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the sale of Project Nova (Y/N 17850). The client, a yacht connoisseur, was introduced to the shipyard by Thom Conboy of Heesen Yachts USA.

Project Nova is a unique example of Heesen’s ingenious approach to yachting: a high-performance, supremely comfortable Fast Displacement yacht with reduced environmental impact, wrapped in an elegant design package with exterior lines by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and interior styling by Sinot Yacht Design.

Her eye-catching superstructure, vertical bow and spacious fixed aft platform, put Project Nova a cut above the rest. While breaking with Heesen yachts of the past, her exterior lines still retain the sense of seaworthiness and performance that has become the trademark of the Dutch superyacht builder.

Thanks to her hybrid propulsion, Project Nova offers the ultimate form of luxury: silent cruising. In this case, ‘hybrid’ means that the yacht can draw on two sources of power for propulsion: diesel mechanical and diesel electrical. Either or both sources can be used at the same time to provide more flexible power management and better efficiency along with less noise and vibration. Up to speeds of 9 knots in electrical hybrid mode, the yacht will be as silent as when at anchor!

Project Nova: yet another project that puts Heesen Yachts at the forefront of technical innovation.

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the launch of YN 17650, a 50m semi-displacement yacht during a private ceremony on Friday April 1, 2016.

YN 17650 is the fifth in the award-winning 50m class with streamlined exterior styling by Omega Architects. The ‘shark grey’ hull colour adds grace to the elegant exterior lines.

Four clearly defined deck areas provide space for every occasion: a foredeck for secluded relaxation, a vast 70-sqm sundeck, shaded dining on the upper deck aft terrace, and a multifunctional main deck aft.

Space has been optimised throughout and YN 17650 has the highest possible internal volume under the 500GT threshold. 12 guests are accommodated in 6 staterooms. The master suite is located on the main deck, while the remaining guest cabins are on the lower deck and include a full-beam VIP, two twins (that can transform into doubles) and two doubles, all with ensuite bathrooms.

YN 17650 will undergo intensive sea trials in the North Sea where she is expected to reach a top speed of 23 knots. She will be delivered to her owner in June 2016.

Note to Editors – Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to employ aluminium for the yacht hulls. Since then we have become a world leader in the design, engineering and construction of high-performance motoryachts. In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 34 – 75 metres size range, and beyond. In 38 years we have delivered over 170 yachts. The current fleet includes aluminium, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the new fast displacement hull form. Heesen is financially secure, large enough to cope with complex construction, small enough to care about each project, motivated to pioneer innovations and dedicated to continuing the tradition of Dutch quality shipbuilding.

END OF SPECIFICATION

Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce the launch of the largest yacht in its fleet to date, the 70m FDHF superyacht Project Kometa. The owners have christened their new yacht Galactica Super Nova.

Galactica Super Nova is not only the biggest yacht built by Heesen Yachts to date, but she is also one of the top 200 largest yachts in the world and one of the fastest yachts for her size.

Galactica Super Nova utilises the revolutionary Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) technology devised by van Oossanen Naval Architects, which Heesen was the first to put into production. Thanks to the addition of a third engine to power a booster jet, Galactica Super Nova will be capable of reaching a top speed of more than 30 knots.

Heesen has been building fast yachts since 1978 and during that time they have become world leader in the field. With exterior lines by Espen Øino and interior design by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, Galactica Super Nova is both an evolution of Heesen’s long experience in the superyacht sector and also the result of a specific research into what the market wants and expects. Galactica Super Nova is the result of what is perceived as a growing market demand for fast transit speeds, seamlessly combined with the high level of comfort and space traditionally associated with displacement yachts.

Beyond her terrific efficiency and high speed, Galactica Super Nova epitomizes luxury on water. Having tender and toys (including a quad ski) housed in the garage located in the forward part of the hull, allowed to develop a fantastic beach club that offers the owners and their guests the possibility to enjoy a lifestyle closer to the water. Other key features include a 13.500 litres pool on the main deck aft with contra flow system for swimming, a waterfall and integrated Jacuzzi for relaxing, while the glass bottom of the pool allows natural light to filter into the beach club below. Forward on the main deck, a touch-and-go helipad facilitates guests arrival on board and doubles in an outdoor cinema that perfectly completes the luxurious lifestyle on board this superyacht.

This incredible piece of technological luxury is wrapped in a head-turning exterior design by world renowned designer and naval architect Espen Øino, who worked on a pre-established engineering platform provided by Heesen’s in-house experts. Espen Øino has been able to develop a profile that celebrates Heesen’s DNA but at the same time brings in new design elements that make Galactica Super Nova stand out in Heesen’s galaxy.

Twelve guests will be accommodated in six staterooms with the master suite on the main deck forward, four guests cabins on the lower deck and a VIP found on the wheel house deck aft. The owner appointed acclaimed Dutch designer Sinot to create the light, pure and well-balanced interior with a sophisticated equilibrium between monochromic and soft colors. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, understated and inviting yet extremely refined. A wide range of leathers – from galuchat to very soft calfskin – form the basis of the interior decor that includes a variety of stones such as calacatta luccicoso and various onyx. The stand-out feature in the interior is the central staircase with a crystal elevator. Steel, nickel, chrome, wood and leather flow together to form a magnificent and grandiose architectural helix.

Galactica Super Nova will be extensively tested in the North Sea before being delivered to her owners in May 2016.
After her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Montenegro, she will cruise in the Mediterranean for the summer season before finally making her public debut at the Monaco Yacht Show.

END OF SPECIFICATION

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that after intensive sea trials in the North Sea, YN 17145 Amore Mio – the largest and most powerful sports yacht ever built in the Netherlands – has been delivered to her owners in international waters as scheduled.

The sea trials took place on January 18, 19 and 21 in southeasterly prevailing winds and waves of 0.5 to 1 metres. Powered by twin MTU 16V diesel engines, Amore Mio’s sleek 45-metre aluminium hull sliced through the seas at a thundering top speed of 30 knots. Not only did she meet all the contractual speed requirements, but the sea trials also proved the all-aluminium superyacht to be very quiet and highly maneuverable.

Amore Mio’s Captain, Tripp Hock, comments: “Heesen added a third day to their standard sea trial program, which they are calling the Captain’s Day. This was a welcome addition and allowed me free scope for requesting all kinds of further testing like crash stops, dead ship operations and single engine maneuvering. As the first Heesen sea trialed at ‘light load’, I was eager to see in particular how the gyro stabilisers would function on such a buoyant ship in the North Sea. To my relief, all the coffee cups stayed on the tables.”

The solidity and integrity of the semi-displacement, aluminium hull design means this yacht is capable of both rapid acceleration and a very smooth ride – so guests arrive stirred, but never shaken. Naval architecture comes in-house from Heesen Yachts. With a range of 2,750 nautical miles at 12 knots, Amore Mio can cross the Mediterranean with ease or cruise the entire length of the Caribbean from St. Barths to Grenada, stopping off at as many islands as one chooses on just one tank of fuel.

Her long, angular exterior lines soar like a javelin from the knuckle bow through to the transom. This head-turning superyacht is yet another high calibre, successful design by Omega Architects. Amore Mio is performance yacht that delivers equal parts power and sophistication, setting her apart from every other sportster on the market.

Amore Mio is the first yacht to be delivered by Heesen in 2016. Later in the year two more will follow: the 70m flagship Project Kometa, and the 50m semi-displacement Project Akoya. Heesen currently has ten yachts under construction.

END OF SPECIFICATION

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that on Saturday January 16, 2016 at the facility in Oss, the hull and superstructure of YN 17850 Project Nova were joined together.

Project Nova is the world’s first Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) equipped with hybrid propulsion.

Heesen has been the first shipyard to apply the FDHF to superyachts, starting with the revolutionary 65m Galactica Star, and continued with 42m Alive, 55m Azamanta, and 50m Sibelle.

Project Nova, unlike Galactica Star, is not designed for exceptionally high speeds. Instead, the ultra-efficient hull form provides the lower speeds typically associated with traditional displacement hulls, but with vastly lower fuel consumption.

The result is unique: a high-performance, supremely comfortable displacement yacht with reduced environmental impact.

At 12 knots Project Nova will have a fuel consumption of 98 litres per hour (excluding generators) and at 10 knots this will be reduced to a 57.5 litres per hour – a staggering figure for a 50m yacht displacing 315 tons and with a gross tonnage of 499. Her cruising range of 3,750nm at 12 knots will be achieved with a fuel capacity of just 45,000 litres.

Project Nova’s top speed of 16.3 knots will be achieved thanks to two MTU 12V 2000 M61 diesel engines of 600 kW each, which are smaller than those typically installed on a yacht of this size. This proves the outstanding efficiency of the Fast Displacement Hull Form devised by Van Oossanen Naval Architects and achieved thanks to Heesen’s minute attention to weight control.

Project Nova is not just an ultra-efficient, low fuel-burning yacht. She also adds a new dimension to luxury: silence. Project Nova perfectly combines fuel efficiency with quiet cruising thanks to her hybrid propulsion system.
With her two water cooled DC electric shaft motors of 127 kW each, Project Nova can cruise at speeds up to 9 knots using the generators alone. At this speed the consumption is predicted to be a remarkable 45 litres per hour. Moreover, the hybrid set-up provides significant noise reduction, as one can appreciate from the comparison table below.

Area	w/ main engines	w/ hybrid propulsion at 9 knots
Owner’s stateroom	50 dB (A)	46 dB (A)
Main saloon	62 dB (A)	50 dB (A)
Dining area	60 dB (A)	48 dB (A)
Upper saloon	58 dB (A)	46 dB (A)
Guest cabins	58 dB (A)	46 dB (A)

The hybrid propulsion system offers some additional advantages:
on longer passages and across a wide range of speeds up to 15.7 knots, the shaft motors can be used as generators to provide the hotel loads, meaning the generators can be switched off with a consequent saving in fuel.

In boost mode (main engines plus the shaft motors), Project Nova will gain an additional 0.6 knots, bringing the maximum speed to 16.3 knots

This stunning piece of technology is wrapped in an elegant design package with exterior lines by Omega Architects and interior styling by Sinot Yacht Design. Project Nova’s exterior lines break with Heesen yachts of the past, but still retain the sense of seaworthiness and performance that has become our trademark. Her vertical bow, for example, is not just a styling exercise: it also serves to reduce the vertical acceleration that causes discomfort for guests on board.

Twelve guests will be accommodated in six staterooms and will have plenty of outdoor space for enjoying life at sea.

Project Nova is available for purchase and is scheduled to be delivered in Spring 2017 after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.
