Heesen reveals first yacht of new 57-metre series by Ruben Griffioen

Heesen Yachts has revealed the first superyacht in its new 57-metre series, YN 20457 Project Akira, now named Santosha. The yacht boasts an interior volume of 780 GT and features exterior lines penned by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects.

Originally built on speculation, the vessel’s design took a new direction when the owners came on board. Working closely with the yacht’s interior designer, Harrison Eidsgaard, and Heesen ‘s interior engineers, the clients tailored the yacht to reflect their taste and lifestyle, transforming Akira into Santosha.

Aluminium FDHF

First revealed at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show, Heesen’s 57-metre series has a shapely silhouette with an elongated profile and a scooped-shaped stern. A sweeping arch ties the length of the superstructure together, while the slightly raked angle of the bow gives the yacht a stretched optical length.

The series features a full aluminium hull, an iteration of the ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) devised by Dutch hydrodynamicists van Oossanen Naval architects. The hull has been engineered by Heesen’s in-house team and crafted by the shipyard’s welders.

Two MTU 16V 4000 M65L (IMO Tier III) engines propel the yacht up to 22 knots and deliver a transatlantic range of 3900 nm at 13 knots. A draught of just 2.3 metres makes it an ideal platform from which to explore the turquoise shallows of the Bahamas.

Interior quarters

The yacht features a nearly 70-m2 owners’ apartment, which includes a study, a full beam stateroom, and expansive bathroom. The guest quarters – twelve guests in six staterooms – are designed with practicality in mind, drawing on the clients’ extensive experience and deep understanding of life on board.

Heesen Sells Project Venus

  • By Yachting Staff
  • August 1, 2024

Heesen Yachts’ Project Venus

Heesen Yachts in the Netherlands has sold Project Venus, a 55m Steel model that is already under construction and well on its way toward its delivery date.

The owner previously owned a Heesen, and is coming back to the yard for this build.

“Returning to Heesen was an easy choice for our client,” says sales broker Rupert Connor of Luxury Yachts. “We know that their high-quality standards and desire to exceed our needs will result in yet another fabulous build. There is no other shipyard in the world where you can sign for a yacht in June and they deliver in 10 months a high-quality yacht customized to our needs. Their revised 55m platform offers a best-in-class layout and engineering platform. Our whole build support team is thrilled to be working with Heesen again.”

Silvia Margutti of Luca Dini Design and Architecture is handling customization of the interior design to reflect the owner’s taste and lifestyle, with enough time left in the build schedule to make alterations of that nature. Heesen’s team says it expects to launch Project Venus this coming January, even while incorporating any changes that the owner would like to see in the interior décor.

The shipyard can project such a fast launch date because construction on Project Venus began back in November 2022, as part of Heesen’s overall business plan to minimize the time between a yacht’s sale and its delivery.

The steel hull, an iteration of van Oossanen Naval Architects’ FDHF design, was fabricated at Talsma in Friesland, also in the Netherlands. Heesen’s team will build and install the interiors.

Project Venus comes in at 760 gross tons.

Also happening at Heesen Yachts: The yard has joined the hull and superstructure on Project Sophia, a 164-fdvoot yacht that is currently for sale with delivery scheduled in the first quarter of 2026.

Project Sophia is a fast-aluminum design with exteriors by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and interiors by Cristiano Gatto. The yacht has a hard-chine, shallow-draft hull designed by Heesen’s in-house naval architects.

A recessed propeller tunnel keeps draft at 7 feet, making the yacht usable in the Bahamas.  Twin 16V 4000 M65L MTU engines are already installed, with Heesen projecting a top speed of 23 knots and a trans-Atlantic range of 3,100 nautical miles at 11 knots.

Accommodations are for 12 guests in five staterooms, including a main-deck master.

Heesen deliver 80m superyacht GENESIS to her new owner

By Katie Scott   4 September 2023

Dutch shipyard Heesen has successfully delivered the stunning 80m (262ft) superyacht GENESIS to her new owner, setting a new benchmark for the yard as the biggest yacht they have built to date.

Surpassing the previous record holders of Galactica Super Nova at 70m (229.6ft) and charter yacht ILLUSION at 65m (213ft), the new flagship is a custom-built motor yacht with design collaborations from Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Winch Design, and Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design. Embodying the classic, sporty DNA of the Heesen fleet, GENESIS is undeniably a true Heesen superyacht but with a contemporary and almost futuristic twist on previous builds.

Overview of the foredeck onboard M/Y GENESIS, surrounded by sea

Sporting a six-cabin layout, superyacht GENESIS hosts an army of indulgent features and amenities including a fully certified touch-and-go helipad that can also transform into an outdoor cinema, a glass-bottomed swimming pool, abundant exterior deck space for socializing and relaxing in the Mediterranean sun, plus an on-deck Jacuzzi and WiFi connectivity.

heesen yachts nieuws

Enabling the owner and their guests seamless access to the sea, motor yacht GENESIS has a generous beach club environment with a wet bar, in addition to plenty of storage for adrenaline-fuelled water toys.

Currently, it is not expected that M/Y GENESIS will be made available for charter. However, if you’re interested in chartering a yacht of a similar caliber, you can view and compare all  Heesen superyachts for charter .

fire on atina heesen yacht

Watch: 47m Heesen superyacht Atina sinks following devastating fire in Olbia, Italy

The 47-metre Heesen yacht Atina has now sunk following a fire that broke out on board yesterday evening (10 August). The incident occurred while Atina was anchored in the Gulf of Olbia in Sardinia, Italy. 

Dramatic new footage released by the Olbia Coast Guard shows the flames spread from the aft portion of the vessel until Atina is entirely engulfed. She then begins to list and sink.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Direzione Marittima Olbia (@guardiacostieraolbia)

The Olbia Fire Brigade had been working alongside the Olbia Coast Guard to tackle the blaze since 8pm local time. Sixteen people were on board but are now evacuated and confirmed "safe" by authorities. No injuries have been reported.

Anti-pollution pads have been placed on the scene and an area prohibition order has been issued. All operations were coordinated by the Maritime Directorate of Olbia.

Atina was delivered by the Dutch shipyard in 2008 and won a Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards the following year.

She has sailed under many names, including Elandess , Raasta and Naseem . The superyacht was most recently sold in 2021 at a last known asking price of €16,250,000. Atina then underwent an extensive, multi-month refit with Turkish shipyard FDC Yachts to optimise her for charter .

The most noteworthy change was the sundeck, which was redesigned with a larger pool set forward of the new navigation mast, a Teppanyaki grill and a large bar that could seat up to 12 guests for parties or sporting events.

The cause of the fire is unknown.

BOAT International will update the story as it develops.

Who are Mike Lynch and the other people missing after a yacht sank in Sicily?

Bill Chappell

Mike Lynch remains missing after a luxury yacht sank off of Sicily's coast. Lynch, who sold his tech firm Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011, had recently been acquitted of fraud charges related to the sale.

Search teams are scouring waters along Italy’s southwestern shore, where a luxury sailing yacht sank early Monday. Six people are known to be missing, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter, and Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife.

Faced with the possibility that some people might have been trapped inside the ship when it sank in a storm, dive teams (including cave divers from the local fire brigade) have been looking for ways to enter the vessel.

Italian firefighter divers bring ashore in a green bag the body of one of the victims of the U.K.-flag vessel Bayesian on Wednesday.

Divers recover at least 1 body during search of yacht wreckage off Sicily

The Palermo Coast Guard told NPR on Tuesday that such an operation is complicated by the depth and position of the hull, which lies on the seabed at a depth of around 50 meters, about a half-mile from the port in Porticello, Sicily.

Lynch, a mathematician and longtime tech entrepreneur, was on a vacation voyage that apparently doubled as a celebration of his recent acquittal on federal fraud charges in the U.S. At least two members of his legal team were reportedly on the boat.

Here’s what we know about Lynch and the tragic situation off Sicily’s coast:

Who is Mike Lynch?

Lynch, 59, made his name as the founder and longtime leader of Autonomy, a search engine and software company that helped companies manage information. Hewlett-Packard bought Autonomy for $11 billion in 2011, but Lynch then faced accusations — and then federal charges — that he had misrepresented his company’s financial health and prospects. Lynch denied the claims, saying HP was blaming him for its own problems.

Lynch was indicted on multiple fraud and conspiracy counts in late 2018, months after Autonomy’s former chief financial officer, Sushovan Hussain, was convicted of fraud (he was later sentenced to five years in prison).

Emergency services at the scene of the search for a missing boat Monday in Porticello Santa Flavia, Italy.

Search resumes for British tech magnate and 5 others after yacht sinks off Sicily

Lynch successfully delayed extradition from the U.K. until May 2023 . Earlier this year, the case finally culminated in a lengthy trial in San Francisco that ended with Lynch’s acquittal of all charges against him in June , after he testified on his own behalf.

Also acquitted was Stephen Chamberlain, Autonomy’s former finance VP. But on Saturday — just two days before Lynch was caught in a boating catastrophe — Chamberlain was killed in a car accident , after he was struck while out for a run.

Lynch earned a Ph.D. in adaptive pattern recognition from Cambridge University. In 2006, he was awarded an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) honor for his work in the U.K.’s tech industry. After selling Autonomy, he founded an investment group focused on startups emerging from Cambridge University.

Who else was aboard?

Survivors include Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, along with Charlotte Golunski, who works at Invoke Capital, Lynch’s venture capital firm. Golunski was on the ship with her daughter, Sofia, who had just celebrated her first birthday. In an interview with La Repubblica , Golunski said she held her little girl as she floated in darkness, using all her strength to keep her arms up and prevent Sofia from drowning. Sophia’s father was also onboard and survived.

Ayla Ronald, a lawyer who worked on Lynch’s fraud case, and her partner also escaped the wreck. Other survivors include several crew members, including two women in their early 20s who were part of the ship’s staff.

Missing along with Lynch and Bloomer are Lynch’s daughter, Hannah, 18; Bloomer’s wife, Judy; a lawyer for Lynch named Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda, according to local newspaper Giornale di Sicilia .

Bloomer was a partner at Arthur Andersen for some 20 years, until 1994, according to his LinkedIn profile . He then led the financial services company Prudential before taking on a number of chairman roles, including at the legal services firm DWF.

Bloomer is also currently chairman of insurance company the Hiscox Group.

“We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event,” Hiscox CEO Aki Hussain said in a statement sent to NPR. “Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our Chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation.”

What happened to the yacht?

The gathering took place aboard a massive sailing yacht called Bayesian — a term that, in mathematics and statistics, refers to probability and uncertainty. The yacht’s overall length is listed at 55.9 meters (183 feet).

The Bayesian was off the coast of Porticello when it was swamped by a violent storm before dawn on Monday morning. Numerous eyewitness accounts cited a waterspout — a highly localized spiraling storm that’s essentially a marine tornado. Around that time, the Bayesian was located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, according to the Marine Traffic tracking site.

The ship, which had 22 people aboard, sank. In the aftermath, 15 people were rescued, but one died and six were unaccounted for.  

What about the rescue effort?

Helicopters and marine craft have been searching for any sign of the passengers, hoping to find more survivors. Sea and cave divers have also been part of the effort.

Italy’s fire brigade, Vigili del Fuoco, says it is working on a plan for divers to enter the sunken vessel. An initial attempt on Monday was cut short after divers were able to gain only limited access , citing furniture that blocked a passageway.

When asked about the possibility of finding any other survivors of the calamity, Comandante Vincenzo Zagarola of the Italian Coast Guard told radio station RTL 102.5 on Tuesday that given how much time has elapsed, it’s difficult to imagine a good outcome for the missing passengers. But, he said, the search will continue.

Genesis - 2023

heesen yachts nieuws

OUT OF THIS WORLD

At 80.07 metres, 1,700 Gross Tons and with a top speed of 29 knots, Genesis, previously Project Cosmos is the world’s largest and fastest all-aluminium motoryacht with conventional propeller propulsion system. Winch Design created a streamlined yacht with innovative design traits but still retaining the Heesen DNA: muscular sportiness and timeless elegance. The design, engineering, technology and craftsmanship in this extraordinary yacht represent a milestone not just for Heesen, but for the yachting industry in general.

heesen yachts nieuws

First impressions

Some of the most notable features on board Genesis are the fully-rated helicopter landing pad for a Eurocopter EC135 that transforms into an outdoor cinema with stunning effect; the crystal elevator from the lower deck to the sun deck for chic accessibility; the breath-taking seven-metre pool with contra-jets for swimming, paired with a waterfall and glass bottom; the sumptuous beach club with a sunken walk-around bar and large transom and side platforms. To give her the necessary longitudinal strength, we designed and patented a complex, full-length structural reinforcement system that we call The Backbone. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and Heesen Yachts have taken this project to the next level of quality, to create our most intricate and precious interiors so far.

heesen yachts nieuws

Step aboard

Genesis is a testament to the pinnacle of design, engineering, technology, and craftsmanship of Heesen. The interior design of this project takes inspiration from nature, particularly natural mathematics like the Fibonacci sequence, shaping the core of its architectural aesthetics. Clear, graphic lines define a clean, uncluttered space, creating an environment that exudes architectural excellence. Exceptional materials like backlit onyx, straw marquetry, and crystal glass panels are skillfully integrated within these lines, accentuating their innate beauty. The interior is further adorned with custom-designed furniture crafted from a combination of glass, marble, metal, and various wood types, adding the final touches to the overall décor.
