AIR

Motor Yacht AIR is a 47-metre Heesen Displacement Class superyacht launched by the Dutch shipyard in December 2010. Superyacht Air’s design is a result of collaboration between Heesen Yachts’ in-house naval architects and Frank Laupman from Omega Architects, who conceived her stream-lined exterior design with its pelican beak bow.

Superyacht Air features a unique sleek appearance, thanks to her elegant superstructure, combined with sloped wheelhouse windows. Air’s interior by Frank Laupman features classic contemporary style and ultra-modern loose furniture to create a comfortable and warm environment.

Accommodation on board of this stunning luxury motoryacht AIR is provided for the owner and eight guests in five cabins, four of these on the lower deck, and an owner’s suite traditionally located on the forward part of the main deck. Like the owner’s suite, one of the two VIP cabins that extend across the yacht’s full-beam offers a full bathroom, while all the other guests cabins have en suite shower rooms. The remaining two guest cabins are located on either side of a central passageway, with the cabin on the port side being a double, while to starboard is a twin cabin fitted with additional pullman beds that descend from the deck-head. For added versatility, the two single beds in this latter cabin can be easily transformed into a double.

Heesen’s luxury yacht AIR is managed by a crew of eight, accommodated in four cabins with en-suite shower rooms. The Captain’s cabin can be found on the upper deck with direct access to the bridge.

The yacht’s main salon is divided into three areas, including a lobby, lounge and a formal dining area. The dining are boasts a large rectangular table finished in matt wengé and offers seating to twelve guests in total.

The most impressive feature of the luxury yacht AIR is her theatre room, located on the upper deck, incorporating a Panasonic 103” (262 cm) HD Plasma Screen, complemented by a full 7.1 Steinway Lyngdorf Audio System. This unique audio installation, designed specifically for M/Y Air, includes two flagship Model D speakers standing nearly 7 feet tall on either side of the plasma screen. These speakers, together with the center and four surround speakers, are hand-finished in the same high-gloss black piano finish famously used on Steinway & Sons pianos and accented with 24k gold. To complete the system, are five Dual Woofers, three located below the plasma screen and two custom-built woofers in the deck-head to the rear. The system uses 6.400 Watts of power to provide flawless reproduction of music and movie sound tracks. A Custom iPad controls the whole system with both Crestron and Cisco.

The M/Y AIR is powered by two MTU 20V 4000 M93L engines each developing 4,170 kW at 2100 rpm. The vessel can reach a very respectable top speed of 15,5 knots and an excellent range of 4,000 Nautical Miles at 12 knots.
