Heesen joined the hull and superstructure of Project Jade. The Dutch yard has confirmed the yacht is on track for delivery in spring 2024.
This line is ideally suited for buyers looking for a fast model with a shorter delivery time. Project Jade builds on "Heesen’s legacy of fast, hard-chine aluminium yachts" and represents a good example of the yard's ability to deliver fast, sub-500GT yachts that comply with the new emission regulations.
The “curvy and sporty” exterior design, which features “crisp design features” comes courtesy of Omega Architects.
Renderings reveal a number of alfresco amenities, including a well-appointed sundeck with Jacuzzi, lounge area, dining space and bar.
The yacht also has a generous beach club with unfolding swim platform and loose furniture for making the most of life at sea.
An optimised hull, minimised transom depth and creation of propeller tunnels reducing the draft to 2.15 metres result in improved fuel efficiency and performance.
Power will come from twin MTU 16V 4000 M65L IMO Tier III-approved engines for a top speed of 23 knots and a range of 3,100 nautical miles at 11 knots.
Speaking about the yacht, Heesen’s chief commercial officer Friso Visser emphasized: “This combination of speed and shallow draft makes the design ideal for cruising in shallow coastal waters such as the Bahamas, as well as the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean.”
The “modern but cosy interior design” penned by Cristiano Gatto offers plenty of customisation opportunities for the owner.
Accommodation on board is for a maximum of 12 guests in five cabins, comprising two twins and two doubles in the lower deck, and a master suite on the main deck forward.
Heesen Yachts is a Dutch ship building company that specializes in custom-built superyachts in aluminum and steel from 30m to 70m in size. Founded in 1978, it has launched more than 170 yachts since its inception.
