Omega Architects produced her exterior styling, which has integrated a characteristic ‘bird’s wing’ without interrupting the lines flowing from bow to stern.

She has a volume of approximately 1,060 GT and to meet the Owner’s requests the engineering team needed to come up with some novel solutions. She is the first yacht to have the SCR system in addition to the V12 MTU engines and has a launching ramp in the aft tender garage for the Boston Whaler tender. Other features include full tropical air conditioning and a touch-and-go helipad which has its very own air-conditioned boarding lounge.

The interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design are elegant and tranquil, using high-quality fabrics, leather and wood varieties to create one of the most complex living spaces ever crafted by Heesen artisans. Within this bespoke setting, the accommodation sleeps up to 12 guests over 6 en-suite cabins: 1 Owner’s apartment on the bridge deck and 5 further guest cabins.

North Sea sea trials proved she was capable of her contractual speed of 17.5 knots using the two MTU 12V 4000 M65L Diesel engines, which have a total range of 4,200 nautical miles. Throughout the trials noise and vibrations remained within the required parameters.
Luxury yacht LUSINE is the first yacht from Heesen to be delivered in 2022 with many more custom and semi-custom vessels yet to be revealed.
