ALP (formerly Project JADE) Renamed and Ready for Sea

Heesen's latest 5000 Aluminium series yacht takes to the North Sea for trials

ALP, formerly known as Project JADE during her build stage, represents the third installment of Heesen's prestigious 5000 Aluminium series. Sold in February 2024, she was spotted in the North Sea in April, undergoing preparations for delivery to her new owner.

ALP, also known as YN 20350, is crafted from aluminum and showcases an elegant exterior by Omega Architects and a luminous interior by Cristiano Gatto Design.

With a beam of 9m and a draft of 2.15m, ALP provides discreet living quarters for a crew of nine, and guest accommodation for up to 12 across a flexible five-cabin layout.

ALP is the third yacht in Heesen's renowned 5000 Aluminium series, following the successful launches of AQUAMARINE and BOOKENDS (now ARTISA).

Notable features include a sun deck with a large whirlpool and an innovative design incorporating a full-height multi-purpose tender garage-cum-luxury beach club on the lower deck.

ALP's exterior design includes a distinctive downward-pointing bow, enhancing visibility and contributing to a sleek profile. With its optimized, low-drag hull design, the yacht promises comfort in rough seas and accessibility to shallow waters, ideal for adventurous island hopping and extended voyages. The deck spaces are expansive, airy, and meticulously crafted.

Heesen's model range offers a clear choice between two 50m platforms, each boasting semi-displacement and fast-displacement underwater hull forms. Lighter and up to twice as fast as their steel-hulled counterparts, the 5000 Aluminum yachts are engineered to fall just below the 500GT threshold or be considerably lighter for optimized top-end performance.
