The video features commentary from Robert Drontmann, Sales Director at Heesen, and Peder Eidsgaard, co-founder of the renowned design studio Harrison Eidsgaard, which is responsible for Project Grace's striking design.
Drontmann reflected on Heesen’s legacy in this market segment, saying:
"I’m super thrilled that we are starting a new 50-meter series. We’ve always been very, very successful in this segment with the 47-meter, of which we built 14 in a row. And I’m 100% sure that we’re going to have this success again with this beautiful design."
The keel-laying is very exciting—it’s a true milestone. I can’t wait to see Grace completed and out on the water.

The video also highlighted the refined and modern aesthetic of Project Grace, with Eidsgaard describing the design as both sophisticated and youthful. His commentary emphasized the seamless harmony between the yacht’s exterior and interior: "Grace has a very sophisticated, understated, elegant exterior paired with an equally understated interior. The two hang together very well, creating a relaxed, modern lifestyle atmosphere."

The video delves into how Project Grace was designed with a younger, contemporary audience in mind. From expansive sun decks to interiors that connect seamlessly with the outdoors, the yacht embodies a sense of effortless luxury tailored to relaxed living by the water. Eidsgaard noted the flexibility in the interior design, which can be customized to suit the preferences of future owners.
The keel-laying ceremony not only marked the start of construction but also celebrated the completion of the design phase for Project Grace. The event underscores Heesen’s commitment to innovation and their ability to blend performance, style, and functionality in the mid-size yacht segment.
As noted in earlier announcements, the 50-meter series builds on the success of Heesen’s 4700 Series yachts, which set industry benchmarks for their size and efficiency. With the introduction of Project Grace, Heesen aims to further cement its position as a leader in luxury yacht manufacturing.
Eidsgaard summed up the anticipation surrounding the project:
"The keel-laying is very exciting—it’s a true milestone. I can’t wait to see Grace completed and out on the water."
