Heesen Yachts Board of Directors comments: “We are truly honoured that the Owner chose our shipyard to build his full custom yacht. This will be another splendid addition to our fast-growing fleet and we are very excited that today this incredible project started taking shape!”

Although a lot of details on the project have not been revealed yet, it is knows that Van Oossanen Naval Architects developed the fast displacement hull and aluminium superstructure.

Currently Heesen Yachts has another two great projects under construction – project Alida 55m and project Nova 49.8m.
