Newly refitted 38m Heesen superyacht No Comment (ex Tropic C)
The 38m Heesen superyacht No Comment (ex Tropic C), launched in 1986, was sucessfully refitted in 2011 by FM Yachts (Frank Mulder Yacht Projects BV), getting a completely re-designed interior lay-out, with the decor and styling by Joachim Kinder. The fishing cockpit was removed and made place for a comfortable aft deck with a large seating area. On wheelhouse level the deck was extended aft to accommodate two RIB’s of 22 ft and 17 ft in length. The fly-bridge area was increased as well and by removing the control station this area opened up to a fantastic lounging place with a bar, sunbeds, spa pool and grill.
