The Monaco Yacht Show has been the launch pad for many superyacht projects, and 62m PROJECT MONTE CARLO is no exception. Named after the principality’s main district, the project is the latest addition to Heesen’s Steel Fast Displacement Hull Form series featuring exterior design from Harrison Eidsgaard and naval architecture from Van Oossanen Naval Architecture.
Superyacht PROJECT MONTE-CARLO
She is one of the shipyard’s most ambitious projects to date and will be a four-deck superyacht with a dedicated owner’s deck and a layout catering to owner’s who wish to spend extended periods travelling and working on board.
Design Peder Eidesgaard commented, “It is a very open master suite, with the bathtub, shower and office all interconnected,” he said. “The benefit of this arrangement is that an incoming owner can easily toy with the space devoted to each area. The potential is huge; you expand the master suite to include a private foredeck with its own sundeck, jacuzzi and a fold-down balcony to starboard. From his/her office, the owner can walk straight out onto the balcony and take a seat.”

The yacht has been designed to allow owners and guests the opportunity to feel connected to their surroundings and includes a huge beach terrace with 23sqm glass sided pool, fold out wings and superbly comfortable furnishings. Other highlights include a ‘beach lounge’ with sliding doors to the exterior, an observation terrace on the top deck plus an aft deck with firepit, outdoor kitchen and a semi-open sly lounge seating area with pop-up TV.
Wellness has been given priority in the beach club on the lower deck where guests can enjoy the use of a full gym, sauna, hammam and treatment room plus the crew can prepare healthy drinks at the cool juice bar.

Heesen is committed to a more sustainable future and in line with their BlueNautech strategy, the yacht has serial hybrid propulsion and a large battery bank. Future conversion to hydrogen combustion or fuel cells is also possible with a methanol-ready tank. The yacht will have a range of 4,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots.
“We see that our owners are increasingly interested in minimising their environmental impact,” said Peter Van Der Zanden, Heesen’s General Manager for Design & Development. “By planning the yacht around tried-and-tested green solutions, we are helping them make good decisions that don’t add much time and cost to the build.”
We look forward to keeping you up to date with superyacht PROJECT MONTE-CARLO as the project progresses.
