Commercial success at Heesen Yachts: Project Alba is sold!

Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce the sale of YN 18050, Project Alba, with Arne Ploch at Camper and Nicholsons introducing the client.

Y/N 18050 is the third contract – for a new build – sold in 2015 by this Dutch shipyard. In fact, Heesen Yachts has ten yachts under construction with deliveries running into 2018. Project Alba started before her sale and her new experienced owners, by acquiring a yacht already under construction, have gained all the advantages of a new-build without the long lead-time.

Combining speed and space, sportiness and elegance, Project Alba is the true expression of Heesen’s DNA with her highly efficient, aluminium, hard-chine hull, seamlessly engineered by the in-house experts and impeccably crafted at the shipyard in Oss.

Project Alba also has the largest volume of any yacht of her size and still delivers an excellent top speed of 23 knots thanks to two high power-to-weight ratio MTU 2,880kW engines, combined with Heesen’s acknowledged expertise in weight reduction.

Project Alba’s highly distinctive profile, whose flowing lines are designed by Dutch studio Omega Architects, sports continuous sheets of triple laminated glazing that are thermo-bonded to the superstructure to create a sleek, seamless wall of windows.

Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski has created luxurious contemporary design – his third collaboration with Heesen Yachts in this award winning 50m semi-displacement class. “The interior design we created with Margherita Casprini – Francesco Paszkowski comments – for this new 50m combines contemporary aesthetics with a classic layout to reflect Heesen’s heritage. We played with contrasting colours, light and dark, and lacquered surfaces and finishes to further emphasise the airy brightness of the interior. Natural leather and stone were selected to create a warm and welcoming ambience and provide a coherent style throughout the yacht.”

Project Alba accommodates twelve guests in six staterooms. The master suite is traditionally located on the main deck forward and is equipped with a full-beam bathroom with shower stall and bath tub. The remaining guests cabins are found on the lower deck: one VIP full beam suite is located aft, the two doubles are amidships, and the twins forward. All cabins have en-suite shower rooms.

The delivery of project Alba is scheduled for January 2018.

Nina

Nina is a new and exciting 38-metre design from Heesen Yachts, build on the proven semi-displacement hull form. Both the exterior and interior are designed by Hot Lab, a young team of Milan-based designers.

Sporty and dynamic, the aluminium hull can reach a top speed of 23 knots powered by twin MTU engines. For optimal trim and stabilisation, Humphree Active Interceptors are fitted as standard, but at-anchor stabilisation is also an option.

Hot Lab has taken the classic Heesen look and refreshed it by maximising window space and open-air deck areas for owners to enjoy stunning sea views. The upper deck aft has been extended to create room for a 6 metre jet tender and water toys.
The sun deck is shaded by the Bimini hard top for casual, open-air dining with grill and bar area. The area can be accessed both internally from the bridge deck and via a special collapsible stairs from the upper aft deck.

The exterior styling is dominated by the single horizontal line of the upper deck to create a profile that is at once classic and contemporary. Travelling at an impressive top speed of 23 knots, our 38-metre Nina provides the rare combination of style and performance. A yacht built to exceed expectations on every level.

The idea behind Nina is as simple as it is elegant: combining the best of the semi-displacement hull form of her predecessors with a unique, luxurious new identity. At every level, inside and outside, our master craftsmen and designers went above and beyond to make this yacht as exciting as the destinations she takes her owners.

On the lower deck there is a lazarette with day head and shower that can be turned into a cosy beach club. Creating the perfect waterside oasis for owners and guests to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Water sports enthusiasts can also use this area of the yacht for storing yet more water toys. With plenty of possibilities, Nina’s outdoor features make her a highly versatile yacht.

MAIN SALOON I The generous main saloon overlooks the aft deck through sliding glass doors. Both the salon and adjacent dining room feature full-height windows for uninterrupted views. Minimalistic yet inviting, the main saloon features all facilities needed to relax at the end of a day’s cruising.

MAIN SALOON DINING I The main saloon dining has a bright, contemporary atmosphere designed with great care by Hot Lab. The finest materials are used to give the dining a unique decorative style. Offering room to enjoy a first class dinner in the company of friends and family, Nina’s lavish interior leaves nothing to be desired.

OWNER’S STATEROOM I The Owner’s stateroom offers the same beautifully crafted interior design as Nina’s main saloon, using the very best materials and fabrics. The windows allow an abundance of natural light inside for a distinguished and modern atmosphere with an airy, relaxing vibe. The stateroom is a complete mini apartment with study, full-beam suite, large walk-in wardrobe and a generous bathroom with shower and bathtub.

GUEST SUITE I The lower deck layout is designed to be as comfortable and functional as possible. The guest accommodation consists of four generous cabins, all with en-suite facilities. Despite being just 38 metres in length overall, the beam is almost 8 metres. This provides the interior with the necessary volume to keep the crew areas separate from the guest areas to ensure a smooth crew circulation and plenty of privacy.

Outfitting of 47m Ruya gets under way

Heesen announces that YN 17947 Project Ruya is entering the outfitting phase and is due for delivery in March 2017.
Project Ruya, a 47m full-displacement yacht just under the 500GT threshold, is the epitome of luxurious comfort: zero-speed stabilisers ensure maximum comfort at anchor, while her well-engineered steel hull with bulbous bow provides smooth and safe cruising in all sea conditions. Two MTU 8V 4000 diesel engines will power Ruya up to a top speed of 15 knots with a transatlantic range of 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.
No less than 180 square metres of exterior deck space provide Ruya’s owners and guests with al fresco dining in two main areas: on the 85-sqm sundeck, or on the upper deck aft terrace. More exterior seating and lounging zones can be found on the main aft deck and foredeck.

The transom door folds down to create a large swim platform that provides easy access to water. Inside the stern garage there is room for a 6.5m tender and 3m wave runner.

Twelve guests will be accommodated in 5 staterooms. The master suite, with its adjacent study and grandiose bathroom with central tub, is located on the main deck forward. The remaining cabins (two twins each with a Pullman fold down bed and two doubles, all with ensuite bathrooms) can be found on the lower deck.

The award-winning Bannenberg & Rowell studio has been selected to create Ruya’s unique interior design that will be handcrafted by the carpenters at Heesen Yachts Interiors.

“We took the idea of movement as the foundation for the new interior concept for Project Ruya,” Dickie Bannenberg comments, “so expect a taut muscular and fluid design with sporty, hi-tech finishes. The ambience will be fresh and light with textiles, carpets and graphics discreetly referencing themes of energy, direction and progress. We feel this is synonymous with Heesen’s progressive and contemporary brand values, and that Project Ruya will be a worthy complement to the Heesen fleet. She is our fifth collaboration with the yard in its popular 47m class.”

Heesen’s solid finances means the shipyard is able to anticipate the construction of new projects in order to significantly reduce delivery times. Project Ruya is currently available for purchase and will be ready for delivery in March 2017 after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.

Heesen is proud to announce the launch of Amore Mio

Heesen is proud to announce that YN 17145 – also known as Project Necto – was launched on Thursday November 12, 2015. The launching operations took place at the Heesen facility in Oss in the form of a private ceremony, where the owners christened their new yacht Amore Mio.

Amore Mio is the largest and most powerful sports yacht ever built in the Netherlands. Her sleek, 45-metre aluminium hull, powered by two MTU 16V diesel engines, will slice through the sea at a thundering top speed of 30 knots. With long, angular lines soaring like a javelin from her knuckle bow through to the transom, she is yet another high calibre, successful design by Omega Architects.
A performance yacht with not only power but also sophistication is what makes Amore Mio so special and sets her apart from every other sportster. The motto is simple: power with comfort.
On every level, inside and on deck, this yacht has been designed to provide the very rare combination of space, speed, style and safety.

The solidity and integrity of the semi-displacement aluminium hull, designed by Heesen in-house naval architects, provide both rapid acceleration and smooth power, so owners and guests arrive at their destination stirred but not shaken. With a range of 2.750nm Amore Mio can cross the Mediterranean with ease, or cruise the entire length of the Caribbean from St. Barths to Grenada stopping at as many islands as the owner chooses and on only one tank of fuel.

Amore Mio’s impressive 90sqm top deck is both fly bridge and sun deck, with al fresco dining and a teppanyaki station. There are two lounge areas with cosy armchairs and coffee tables, and plenty of room for outdoor exercising while admiring spectacular sky and sea views.

A large comfortable sofa for guests is located beside the helm station with steps down into the bridge for air-conditioned comfort while underway. Amore Mio is the epitome of casual yet sophisticated style: she has both advanced gyro stabilisers and active interceptors working to give the best possible sea keeping conditions at 30 knots or zero speed.

Amore Mio sports a unique and ingenious MOB Rapid Reaction System, specially developed by her build captain. In case of man overboard, multiple buttons have been placed around the vessel that, when pressed, will instantly open concealed hatches dropping high-visibility inflatable life rings in the water to both mark the position of the MOB and also serve as a flotation aid. Simultaneously, alarms on the bridge and in the crew areas are sounded, and the location is recorded in the vessel’s chart plotter program. The MOB Rapid Reaction System could be a critical time saver in the rescue chain of events, particularly important for high-speed yachts running at night.

Designed by Cristiano Gatto, the interior of Amore Mio is a fusion of contemporary style and sophisticated elegance all blended in a very cosy environment. Precious details are incorporated in the design and contribute to the warmth and cosiness of the ambiance. A notable example of the design details is the use of flamed American walnut, open grain veneers in book-matched style in the furniture and tabletops. All the doors have a precious inlaid sculpted and lacquered panel that gives them a distinctive character and the stone used on board comes from the same block of breccia perlato, a limestone that incorporates many organic elements such as shells and other fossils.
The fabrics on board Amore Mio are by Loro Piana who – encouraged by Cristiano Gatto – developed a special textile for marine use that is used throughout the yacht.

The main saloon is incredibly impressive and integrates the staircase into the lounge for heightened effect. Floating treads of walnut are supported by polished steel columns and sanded glass that reflects light across the entire room. Judging by the contemporary style of the saloon, it is hard to fathom that this is the lounge on a 30-knot sports yacht. Built to Heesen’s award-winning standards, Amore Mio’s performance makes no compromise on comfort or quality of construction.

Ten guests will be accommodated in five staterooms all with en-suite bathrooms. The master suite is traditionally located on the main deck forward, and features a relaxation corner with a large built-in, curved sofa on the starboard side, and vanity table on the port side. The bathroom is equipped with a large marble-lined shower stall. The remaining guest cabins, two twins and two double cabins, are located on the lower deck.

A 5.9m Boesch mahogany tender will be housed in the garage and launched thanks to the Heesen traditional Teflon slide, which saves considerable head room.

Amore Mio will be intensively tested in the North Sea and delivered to her owners by the end of January 2016.

Heesen delivers YN 17350, M/Y Ann G 50m full-custom displacement motoryacht

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that on July 17, 2015, project YN 17350, M/Y Ann G, a 50m full-custom motoryacht, was delivered to her owners in international waters.

M/Y Ann G has been intensively tested in the North Sea on July 1-2 in smooth sea conditions with fresh breeze predominantly blowing from south east.

Ann G, whose full-displacement steel hull was created by Heesen in house team of naval architects and engineers, exceeded the contractual speed by 0.6 knots, reaching a top speed of 15.6 knots.

Arcon Yachts, who project managed the construction of this unique vessel, comments: “Ann G’s owner is a client with strong vision and high expectations. We are very pleased with the result as Ann G is the quintessence of customisation and superb attention to detail; she is a muscular yet sleek motoryacht that will make heads turn wherever she goes!”

The owner appointed Clifford Denn to draw the exterior profile of his unique Heesen – a perfect example of a vessel that exudes the strong individuality of her owner while keeping the family feeling that characterises all yachts delivered by Heesen. Clifford Denn interpreted the client’s brief for a yacht with a powerful and aggressive personality, incorporating complex and extremely refined design elements into the exterior lines that have been beautifully and perfectly crafted by Heesen in house expert aluminium welders.

Award-winning designers Raymond Langton and team created the bold interiors of Ann G.

The interior design is characterised by rich Macassar ebony, accented with stainless steel features to exude a luxurious, refined atmosphere with warming touches of backlit white onyx and soft tactile leather. A striking first impression for those stepping on board is created by the bespoke Art Deco style chandelier extending over two decks that is framed by the open-tread stairs.
The main salon is a perfect area for entertaining guests with an intimate seating area adjoining the bar of Macassar and backlit onyx. The room also includes an elegant dining area with an extending Macassar dining table featuring an inlaid art panel and a feature artwork by Based Upon on the forward bulkhead.
The guest accommodation continues the contemporary Art Deco theme, with Macassar, stainless steel, leather and parchment, and a unique palette of artworks and fabrics distinguishing each of the four guest cabins.
The owner’s suite, located forward on the main deck, features a private office, large full-beam bedroom and bathroom flanked by his and hers changing rooms. The bedroom is accented with artistic touches such as fabric artwork, and intricate deco motif inlaid into the foot of the bed, and geometric stone mosaic artwork in the bathroom.
On the bridge deck, the sky lounge is a more informal, intimate atmosphere with the Macassar architecture of the room contrasted by parchment wall panels and opulent fabrics, framed with windows on three sides filling the room with natural light and offering panoramic views of the seascapes beyond.
The lower deck beach club is the most contemporary in style – a multi-purpose space dedicated to relaxation, with space for gym equipment, steam room, bar and seating area. The main woods in this area are elm panelling and teak flooring to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

M/Y Ann G will be on display at the Monaco Yachts Show.

ABOUT HEESEN YACHTS
A yacht is a beautiful way to expand your horizons in luxurious comfort. But when that yacht is a Heesen, it can be so much more. Our yachts also offer outstanding performance combined with efficient fuel consumption, high-quality construction with cutting-edge technology, advanced engineering with avant-garde design.
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 design, engineering and construction of high-performance motor-yachts. In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 30 – 80 metres size range, and beyond. In 35 years we have delivered nearly 170 yachts. The current fleet includes aluminium, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the new revolutionary fast displacement.
Eights yachts are currently in construction and their deliveries span through to 2018. 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.

Launched in December 2014, M/Y Asya is the second in the restyled 47m class, a breed of yachts whose exterior design by the talented Frank Laupman of Omega Architects combines elegant traditional lines with contemporary flair, a marriage emphasised by the continuous glass windows and matching black paintwork on the main deck and upper decks.
The restyling includes a significant improvement in the housing of the rescue tender in an enclosed bay in front of the wheelhouse, a remarkable achievement considering the yacht is under the 500GT threshold. This additional touch of grace means the lines of the forward section of the iconic yacht now looks smooth and clean. Another important design change concerns the crew accommodation, which complies with LY3 regulations.

Simplicity as the ultimate form of sophistication is the guiding principle of Asya’s interior design. Her sophisticated interior from the London-based and award-winning studio Bannenberg & Rowell has a distinctly Far Eastern, restful feel, inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando.

The sea trials took place in the North Sea on February 12 and 13 in relatively calm conditions, with average wave heights of 0.5m and south-easterly winds from 4 to 16 knots max.
Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, M/Y Asya’s well-engineered steel hull with bulbous bow provided smooth passage and exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
M/Y Asya is the expression of Heesen’s ability to create unique and award-winning vessels with naval architecture and engineering based on a proven and successful design platform. “Working to a proven design platform allows us to deliver an exceptional yacht in less than 24 months with industry leading quality and performance specifications,” says Mark Cavendish, director Sales and Marketing “This provides our customers with the confidence to purchase a vessel whose performance has been tested and constantly improved.”

Heesen Yachts delivers YN 17255, M/Y Azamanta, 55m Fast Displacement

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that following intensive sea trials in the North Sea, on July 10, 2015, YN 17255 M/Y Azamanta, the world’s first Fast Displacement steel-hulled yacht over 50 metres, was delivered to her owners in international waters.
Azamanta’s sea trials took place on June 17–18 in moderate sea conditions and with winds that started south-westerly, increasing and turning north-westerly after the passage of a cold front.
Azamanta, whose Fast Displacement Hull Form was developed by Van Oossanen in collaboration with Heesen Yachts in-house naval architects, exceeded the contractual speed by 0.4 knots, reaching a top speed of 16.9 knots. Propelling around 600 tonnes of steel and aluminium at 15 knots with only 1650kW of power, the yacht has proved to be a benchmark in terms of efficiency.
Bilderlings Wealth, representing the owner and managing the project throughout the build, says: “We are very pleased with Azamanta; she is the expression of a passionate and experienced yacht owner who built a yacht to travel the globe and explore exotic destinations. Her ice-reinforced steel hull and her unusual colour scheme will enable her passengers to safely, comfortably and elegantly cruise also in high latitudes.”
The bold exterior design by Omega Architects is characterised by chiselled, sharp lines. The superstructure is adorned by “the shark tooth”, a smart design signature on the overhang of the wheelhouse that lends Azamanta a powerful personality.
Vertical windows – new to the Heesen’s aesthetics – and numerous glass insertions in the bulwarks allow more natural light to flood the interior and significantly improve the indoor/outdoor connection, offering great views of the sea even when seated in the sky lounge.
Omega’s clean design without fashion plates and supports has been cleverly engineered and meticulously executed by Heesen’s in-house experts; the superstructure aft, for example, is completely free from pillars, offering uninterrupted ocean vistas.
Heesen’s Board of Directors comments: “Azamanta is the third yacht we have delivered this year after 50m Sibelle and 47m Asya. She is a wonderful example of what owners can achieve when they entrust Heesen to build their superyacht: solid Dutch design, engineering and naval architecture wrapped in unique individual design.”

ABOUT HEESEN YACHTS
A yacht is a beautiful way to expand your horizons in luxurious comfort. But when that yacht is a Heesen, it can be so much more. Our yachts also offer outstanding performance combined with efficient fuel consumption, high-quality construction with cutting-edge technology, advanced engineering with avant-garde design.
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 design, engineering and construction of high-performance motor-yachts. In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 30 – 80 metres size range, and beyond. In 35 years we have delivered nearly 170 yachts. The current fleet includes aluminium, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the new revolutionary fast displacement.
Nine yachts are currently in construction and their deliveries span through to 2018. 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.
