Heesen Yachts, The Netherlands – is proud to announce the delivery of motor yacht AIR, the sixth vessel in the 47-Metre displacement class, a design that resulted from the close collaboration of Heesen Yachts’ in house naval architects and Frank Laupman from Omega Architects, who conceived her stream-lined exterior design with its pelican beak bow – a style that is now Heesen’s very recognisable trademark.
The Fast Displacement Hull Form concept (FDHF, patent pending), by Van Oossanen & Associates was presented to a scientific audience a little more than a year ago at the FAST 2009 Conference, followed in April 2010 by the first publication of the Heesen 6500 FDHF. Van Oossanen & Associates (VOA) have now secured orders for the naval architecture of 6 more FDHF motor yachts.
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that motor yachts Blind Date and Jems were awarded with a Gold Neptune trophy, the highest recognition in yacht design. Superyacht Blind Date won the prize for ‘Bespoke Furniture’ for the expanding dining table and superyacht Jems takes the prize for “Exterior Recreational Area”.
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the signing of its sixth new-build contract in 2010. The sale of this 65-Metre fast displacement superyacht with delivery in June 2013 represents the cherry on the cake for Heesen’s sales department who have also sold 5 other superyachts ranging from 35m to 50m this year.
Heesen Yachts is proud to present the revolutionary 65 Metre concept based on the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) following the positive results of the tank test completed at the Wolfson Unit in April 2010. The FDHF superyacht concept is the result of studies and tank tests carried out over 20 years by the Dutch Naval Architects Van Oossanen and Associates.

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that Bannenberg & Rowell have been chosen to create a strikingly different style of interior decoration for the new yacht […]
Limo Tender 25′ is an interesting tender which was specifically designed by Vripack to be based on the look and feel of her mothership, a 55m Heesen superyacht. Its a bit like a “mini-me” superyacht tender.
Superyacht S.Bernardo, like her 4400 sister ships, was designed by Heesen Yachts in conjunction with Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. In addition it was Frank Laupman who produced the yacht’s sleek exterior styling and the lavish interior of the semi displacement fast motor yacht, which is expected to cruise at a maximum 25 knot speed.
The 47m superyacht, Yard Number 15147, belongs to the Heesen’s 47-metre long range displacement vessel family, which now has seven sister-ships. Two of these have been recognised at successive World Superyacht Awards in 2009 and 2010 as the Best Displacement Motor Yachts below 500GT. The level of customization possible on this series (including structural changes to the superstructure) allows owners to create their own unique yacht based on a proven hull design. The new yacht will be built to Lloyds class and be MCA compliant.

the Heesen-built 47-metre Celestial Hope that narrowly made her the winner while, it has to be said, being slightly less enthusiastic with exterior colour scheme! At the same time the judges wished to acknowledge the improvements in layout, level of equipment and build quality seen in Blind Date,
