Heesen

Established as a traditional Dutch family boatbuilding business, Heesen has swiftly evolved into a prominent shipyard specializing in the construction of superyachts and megayachts crafted from steel and aluminum.

Renowned for its pioneering spirit, Heesen delivers sophisticated yachts that seamlessly integrate strength, luxury, and often remarkable speed — exemplifying the exceptional build quality characteristic of leading Dutch shipyards.

Heesen's range of yachts for sale typically takes the form of semi-custom projects. These projects are based on predefined hull shapes, or 'platforms,' allowing extensive customization above the waterline to align with the owner's preferences, ideas, and requirements. This flexibility extends not only to the interior layout and style but also to the exterior shape, where unique design features like reverse sheer and chamfered bows are common. Propulsion often centers around a pair of MTU engines in the standard package.

In addition to semi-custom builds, Heesen frequently undertakes completely bespoke projects that commence with a blank canvas, typically starting at around 60m (197ft) in size.
