New or Pre-Used Heesen Yachts for Sale

April 29, 2013 - PRLog -- In 1978, a man named Frans Heesen bought a bankrupt shipyard in Oss, Netherlands. Heesen was already involved in a successful plastics company and felt that the property would make a perfect addition to his growing corporation. However, he was convinced to allow the shipyard to continue production, at least temporarily, and the yard proved its worth. After producing four aluminum-hulled yachts for a single client, the shipyard became the very first Dutch builder to create aluminum yachts for sale. Shortly after, Heesen Shipyards joined Italy’s Versilcraft to produce Diaship Yachts, but the companies soon parted ways and returned to the Heesen Yacht brand that is renowned worldwide for its quality construction and high-class luxury.

Heesen Yachts are not only beautifully designed, they are powerful. Yacht Octopussy, a Diaship project, was the first mega yacht to reach speeds over 50 knots. Since that time, Heesen has built the top four fastest super yachts worldwide. Even with this honorable accomplishment, it is the company’s insistence on traditional craftsmanship melded with advanced technology and a unique style which continues to draw an international clientele.

In June of 2011, Heesen delivered the 180-foot Yacht Quinta Essentia, a “showcase for Heesen innovation.” The vessel reached top speeds of 23 knots and featured a glass-enclosed circular sky lounge, curved-glass doors in the master suite that opened onto a private balcony, and an amazing waterfall onto which movies could be projected.

Earlier in 2011, Heesen completed an aluminum semi-displacement yacht, Yacht Satori, that was 163-foot in length. Curved windows, cabinets, and furnishings completed a style that required extreme craftsmanship to create. Delicate materials were fitted precisely in order to develop a luxuriously-designed yacht without affecting its 24-knot performance.
