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.
Heesen is and always has been a full custom superyacht builder, today specialising in 40m-70m (130ft-230ft) vessels. This Dutch builder is also one of the most spectacular examples of why platform builds make so much sense.
