60m superyacht ULTRA G marks Heesen’s first yacht launch for 2023

• Share this on Facebook

By Nina Done   2 February 2023

Representing the newest addition to the prestigious Heesen fleet , the 60m (196ft) superyacht ULTRA G , previously known as Project Skyfall , hit the water during a ceremony which took place on January 27 from their Oss facilities in the Netherland's, marking the yard's first superyacht launch for 2023. 

Described by Heesen as the “ultimate expression of the knowledge and experience gained in over forty years of shipbuilding to the finest Dutch quality standards”, the all-aluminum yacht marks a long-standing collaboration between designers, with Omega Architects providing her unique exterior lines, while her engineering and Fast Displacement Hull Form comes courtesy of Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Meanwhile, London-based studio Harrison Eidsgaard is responsible for her chic interior styling.

The ultimate expression of the knowledge and experience gained in over forty years of shipbuilding to the finest Dutch quality standards

The superyacht has been custom-built and designed for a fishing enthusiast. Described by the yard as a “sport fisherman in yacht disguise”, yacht ULTRA G features a fully operable fish cockpit complete with a fighting chair and storage for 40 rods.

Superyacht luxury

When not reeling in big fishing game, the yacht has been primed for entertainment and relaxation, and bestowed with a wealth of amenities, including a media room featuring a vast 146-inch media wall, games area and custom wine fridge in her main salon, as well as an infinity pool on her sundeck.

She even flaunts her status as a dog-friendly yacht, equipped with a dedicated self-flushing “relief area” with synthetic grass, sensors, cameras and sprinklers.

Outstanding performance capabilities

Motor yacht ULTRA G also boasts exceptional power under the bonnet, with her 22,000 horsepower being generated by quad MTU 20V 4000 engines and four Kongsberg S90 waterjets, which help lower the yacht's draft to less than three meters and reduce vibration by 40 per cent compared with traditional shafts and propellers, for a smoother onboard experience. Under light load conditions, she is capable of delivering an impressive top speed of 37 knots.

She will be accompanied by a 24-meter custom built Vanquish tender, which has been designed in the mirror image of its mothership. 

She will provide accommodation for 10 guests across five suites, including a master apartment positioned to offer complete privacy on her bridge deck, featuring a walk-in closet, large en suite with central oval tub and an intimate terrace with a Jacuzzi and inviting lounge area. Her remaining four cabins are found on her lower deck.

She is now ready for commissioning and will undergo rigorous testing in the North Sea, with delivery expected in the coming months following the successful completion of sea trials. It is not expected that superyacht ULTRA G will be available for charter once she’s delivered to her owner.

In order to make enquiries regarding a charter with a Heesen superyacht, please get in touch with your preferred charter broker .

Live updates: Seven dead in 56m superyacht Bayesian sinking tragedy

Seven people have died in the Bayesian sinking disaster. These include the six missing people who were inside the yacht when it sank, as well as a seventh person who was located shortly after the disaster. The seventh person is understood to be the yacht's chef, Recaldo Thomas. The other six are:

• British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, once dubbed 'Britain's Bill Gates'
• Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah
• Morgan Stanley's chairman, Jonathan Bloomer
• Judy Bloomer, wife of Morgan Stanley chairman
• Chris Morvillo, a lawyer working for London-based law firm Clifford Chance
• Neda Morvillo, an American jewellery designer and Chris' wife

It is understood that the yacht was being used to celebrate Lynch's recent victory in a 13-year £8 billion fraud acquittal.

No one remembers the mast snapping before 56m superyacht Bayesian sunk, says crew

No one recalls seeing the mast snap on board the 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian which sank off the Italian island of Sicily on 19 August. The eyewitness account of a crewmember on board the vessel, which was obtained by BOAT International , said that the boat was struck by a freak weather event which led to the yacht heeling at around 20 degrees to starboard. As crewmembers were securing items, the heeling angle began to increase rapidly until the yacht started taking on water and sank rapidly.

The crewmembers who were up on deck were able to evacuate the yacht with minor injuries. The yacht is understood to have sunk in just twelve minutes, and it is believed that a "major ingress" of water from the top down would have caused the sinking, according to a captain who wishes to remain anonymous. This is based on the fact that no breaches have been reported in the yacht's hull, and the fact that the yacht should have been able to remain afloat with two flooded compartments.

"Very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" says captain of sistership

The captain of the sistership to the sunken 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian has said it is "very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" and called the 56-metre Perini Navi series "bulletproof".

David Hutchinson, captain of Rosehearty , said he had taken the yacht around the world multiple times and he had "total faith in the boat".  "We've been to Antarctica and Chile, and we've had her in 70 knots of wind," he says, and the vessel had never put them in a situation that felt unmanageable.

However, Hutchinson noted there were differences between Bayesian and Rosehearty ; notably, Bayesian's  74-metre mast, which would have been heavier and added increased windage. The yacht's layout was also different, with guest accommodation on Bayesian located further forward.

Live updates

• During a news conference on Saturday morning (24 August), prosecutors confirmed they are in the early stages of investigating a "crime hypothesis" of culpable shipwreck and manslaughter. Authorities also said the yacht likely sunk because of a downburst (powerful wind that descends from a thunderstorm), rather than a waterspout.
• A search and rescue for six missing people has concluded. The final missing person is understood to be Hannah Lynch. 
• According to Reuters, six bodies have now been found in the sunken yacht. These include Mike Lynch, a British technology entrepreneur who co-founded Autonomy Corporation and founded Invoke Capital, although Italian authorities have not confirmed this.  
• One person was found immediately after the yacht sunk, and this is understood to be the yacht's chef. 
• Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, and a one-year-old are among the fifteen people rescued along with Bayesian' s captain, James Cutfield.
• Another sailing vessel in the area, the 42-metre Sir Robert Baden Powell ,  stepped in to offer assistance in the initial rescue.
• Divers have been able to reach Bayesian' s sunken hull, which lies at 45 metres of depth about half a mile from the coast. The yacht had the largest aluminium masts of any sailing yacht on the water.
• Eyewitnesses in the area reported "hurricane" conditions off the coast but local weather websites did not indicate any severe squall, which suggests that the weather event was not forecast.
• At around 5am local time on 19 August, Bayesian was hit by bad weather and sunk.  The sailing yacht was anchored or idle at the time of the incident.

Built in Italy by renowned builder Perini Navi and delivered in 2008, the yacht's naval architecture was developed by Ron Holland Design while the interior design is by Rémi Tessier . She was formerly known as Salute and was last refitted in 2016. She was listed for sale earlier this year, according to BOATPro . The yacht had accommodation for nine guests and 12 crew.

BOAT International will update the story as it develops.

The Sea Demonstrates Again It Doesn't Care - Yacht Bayesian

Billionaire or humble steward, old or young, ragged refugee skiff or luxury superyacht, the sea again demonstrates she doesn’t care & takes them all the same.

“The sea is selective, slow at recognition of effort and aptitude, but fast in sinking the unfit.”

This articles does a good job of describing how the mast probably played a big part in the sinking & discusses the weather conditions.

Thanks, don’t usually look at the Torygraph, and its paywalled. But as I said (and being familiar with Perinis) that would be my expectation

It looks like you are probably correct. A 20+ story mast might not have been the best idea? But the Torygraph isn’t charging me, probably because of my location & ip address. Here’s the image.

I’ve read erratic & sometimes conflicting remarks about being knocked flat, righting, followed by rig folding. Wrong place, wrong time. Who needs a rig bigger than Panamax (60m)? All other big rigs (eg Mirabella V) are carbon.

was reading about this in the financial times Subscribe to read

and aside from the maritime aspect of this accident i found this piece of the article interesting… “The yacht incident came on the same day as the death was confirmed of Lynch’s co-defendant in the US fraud case, Stephen Chamberlain, who was hit by a car in Cambridgeshire.”

Hold on to our tin-foil hats…Conspiracy theories are guaranteed.

Ken Lay was killed by a stationary tree weeks before his appointment with the judge overseeing his retirement home plans at Club Fed for millionaires. Maybe Neptune & the Tree God are working together against those so rich they slip through the cracks.

The ‘Baynesian’ anchored off Porticello at around 20::00 UTC the evening before the disaster. Another sail yacht, ‘Sir Robert Baden Powell‘, an old classic one (1958, two masts, about 40 meters) was at anchor nearby to NW. Two men from this yacht came over in a small craft, when the ‘Baynesian’ disappeared, to save the swimming people.

The wind, after midnight until the disaster, was WNW 10/15 knots at large, at the protected anchorage 2/3 knots. However, there was this singular villain waterspout inside, probably invisible during the night. The water temperature was about 30°C, the air temp at about 26°C (maybe this influences the strength of the waterspout).

I have seen many waterspouts, but never what they could do on boats or ships.

After drifting away: The first direction arrow is at 01:59 UTC, speed 1.3kn The second arrow is at 02:03, speed 2.6kn The last AIS signal is at 02:05, speed 2.6kn

A few from that company have passed away since the court case.

Calm down everyone. The cause has been found. You knew it, didn’t you?

(Copied from The Telegraph)

Climate change contributed to the weather that caused Bayesian to sink, claims expert

Prof Mercalli, one of Italy’s leading climate experts, said climate change had contributed to the weather phenomenon that caused the boat to sink.

He said: “The sea surface temperature around Sicily was about 30 degrees, which is almost three degrees higher than normal. That creates a huge source of energy that contributes to these storms.

“We can’t say this is all due to climate change, but we can say it has an amplifying effect.”

Prof Mercalli said the sinking of Mike Lynch’s luxury yacht was similar to the boating tragedy in which four people were killed on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy in May 2023.

Leading climate expert says crew should have paid more attention to weather warnings

Luca Mercalli, one of Italy’s leading climate experts and president of the Italian Meteorological Society, said the crew of the Bayesian should have paid more attention to the weather warnings issued by Italian authorities before the tragedy occurred.

While noting the tornado that occurred off Sicily’s coast was not predictable, Professor Mercalli told The Telegraph the authorities had issued a “yellow” then a moderate weather alert and the crew should have been more vigilant of the changing weather conditions despite the darkness.

Prof Mercalli said: “I don’t know if there was anyone on board consulting the radar.

“Let’s say that if I had been on board, at the first sign of a thunderstorm I would have woken up all the occupants and been ready and alert with life jackets on until the storm was over.”

He said weather radar made it possible to estimate within 15 to 30 minutes the arrival of an intense thunderstorm, even though it is impossible to know if the wind intensity will reach dangerous levels.

Note: Please advise in replies the number of times you have mustered the entire crew and passengers with lifejackets on at the first sign of a thunderstorm. Surely everybody just does that as standard procedure?

[Comment may not make complete sense to non-SUNY Maritime types] I have always thought “mugs” should be made to memorize that quote (from an alumni and superintendent of the school ) and not the so-called “sallyport saying.” (I don’t recall the quote exactly, it’s from Stonewall Jackson and the gist is that junior officers must blindly obey superiors without question).

We did…at least 20 years ago. I don’t know what they learn now, but I agree with you.

I heard they tried doing away with that, as it’s a quote from a Confederate General. This was back during the hectic Summer of ‘20 when they also said the Fort was racist because of its namesake being a slaveowner.

Fort Schuyler is still Fort Schuyler, so I’d have to imagine the MUGS still learn/memorize the Sallyport Saying, among others.

I’d do away with it only because it’s not appropriate. I doubt it’s being used in any BRM courses…

Family boat and the sleeping owner is your boss…tough decision Pretty sure the radar would be left on and maybe on the captains tv in his cabin? Couldnt know about the wind till it hit you especially if there was no rain in the wind blast so no movement on the radar to see

Statements made by experts should be evaluated depending upon whether they are speaking within or outside of their area of expertise

With regards to vessel operations the professor was outside his area of expertise.
