Heesen Yachts have announced that 57m (187’) superyacht PROJECT SETTEESETTANTA (YN20857) has reached an important milestone – the joining of her hull and superstructure, alongside the placement of her engine.

Cristiano commented, “This project is a pioneering venture, where our studio passionately engages in both interior design and as the Owner’s Representative. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the owners for entrusting us with this endeavour. Today, we appreciate the beauty of this project. While contemporary technology such as 3D visualisation gives a good idea of how the yacht will look like, seeing the design come to life makes a significant difference.”
