Heesen Yachts for Charter

One of the most well-known Dutch shipyards, Heesen was founded in 1978 by Frans Heesen in Oss, the Netherlands, and has gone on to become an industry leader in the design, engineering, and construction of high-performance superyachts. Specialising in both aluminium and steel new-builds, Heesen offers custom and semi-custom yachts ranging from 50 to 80 metres in length. With over 200 yachts launched since its inception, many of which have won awards, Heesen has garnered a global reputation for pushing the boundaries of design through innovation and Dutch craftsmanship. The shipyard gained international acclaim in 1988 with the delivery of the 43.59m Octopussy, a groundbreaking superyacht that became the first superyacht to surpass the 50-knot speed barrier. Today, Heesen's portfolio includes three distinct build concepts: the Series range, offering fast-delivery semi-custom platforms in 50m, 55m, and 57m lengths; Smart Custom yachts with engineered hulls and customisable superstructures; and Full Custom projects that start as a blank canvas to bring the owner's vision to life. In recent years, Heesen has pioneered Fast Displacement superyachts, designed to provide higher speeds and greater fuel efficiency than traditional luxury yachts. Chartering a Heesen yacht offers access to a selection of award-winning superyachts featuring advanced technology, sleek performance, and exceptional comfort across all major yachting destinations, from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. With features such as spacious beach clubs, fully equipped gyms, swimming pools, and more, a Heesen yacht charter delivers speed, style, and sophistication in one unforgettable experience.
