Heesen Yachts Announces Sale of 50m Project Jade

• By Brinley Hineman
• March 1, 2024

Heesen Yachts has announced the sale of YN 20350, the 50m fast cruiser Project Jade .

Project Jade was lauded by Netherlands-based Heesen as building on “Heesen’s legacy of fast, hard-chine aluminum yachts.” The yacht was listed for about $44.9 million and is the third Heesen vessel sold by SuperYachtsMonaco in the past decade. 

“We are overjoyed to congratulate the client on entrusting our shipyard with building his new yacht. This sale not only showcases the exceptional quality of Heesen yachts but also confirms our strong relationship with the brokerage network,” said Chief Commercial Officer Mark Cavendish in a news release. 

The all-aluminum superyacht, which comes in at 499 GT, can accommodate 12 guests in five staterooms, including an owner’s suite on the main deck forward. The guest cabins — two doubles and two twins — are on the lower deck. The yacht can host nine crew members. 

The yacht’s interior was designed by Cristiano Gatto and the exterior was designed by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. 

Project Jade has large outdoor spaces, including a sundeck with a whirlpool, a terrace and beach club. The yacht is outfitted with mirrors and tempered glass inspired by the sky and splashes of green to evoke its namesake, Jade. 

The yacht can reach up to 23 knots and is IMO III compliant. The hull was “meticulously designed and engineered by Heesen’s in-house naval architects” to provide a comfortable experience for guests. 

Project Jade will be delivered to its owners in Q2, Heesen said. 

“Our client is extremely happy with his purchase of such a fantastic yacht and looks forward to his first cruise,” said SuperYachtsMonaco founder Jim Evans.

55m superyacht IRIS BLUE is delivered to her owners – the first deliver of 2024 for Heesen

Written by Rachel Kelly

Fresh from her successful sea trials in the North Sea, 55m (180’5”) luxury yacht IRIS BLUE  from Heesen has now been delivered to her new owners. Her exterior was designed by Omega Architects with interiors by Luca Dini Design & Architecture .

Superyacht Iris Blue – Ruben Griffioen

The trials lasted for three days, and she met all the required specifications in challenging conditions with waves of up to 1.7m and winds gusting up to 28 knots. She proved highly responsive, instilling great confidence in her manoeuvrability and robustness.

Luxury deck features on board IRIS BLUE

Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, the designer of the original series, carried out the restyle for this hull and had this to say. “As much as we love our original design with the vertical windows, we felt it was time to make an evolutionary step,” says Frank. “We opted for a larger expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass, without mullions in the main saloon. Then, we took the opportunity to give a slightly more aggressive look to the profile by using continuous sheets of tinted glass. The horizontal lines stretch the optical length and balance the air draft. The result is beautiful: we retained the family look and feel but gave it an elegant touch.”

The updated layout now offers a 78sqm owner’s stateroom with private terrace on the starboard side, a larger sundeck with a bar and spa plus a wide central atrium with main staircase and crew companionway.

Niels Vaessen, Heesen CEO, comments: “We have worked with Omega and Luca Dini on creating a yacht that meets the refined tastes of clients who appreciate Dutch quality with a shortened delivery time. IRIS BLUE is a wonderful addition to our fleet, and we wish the Owners and her crew many days of happy sailing”.

We echo the sentiment and wish her owner’s well on their travels.

Video: 51m Heesen superyacht Irisha on sea trials

Heesen ’s first full custom yacht since Galactica Super Nova was christened  Irisha  by her owners on Thursday (May 3) in Hellevoetsluis, the Netherlands, after completing sea trials that exceeded expectations.

Stuart King of Technical Marine UK, who served as the owner’s project manager during the build, noted that the owners put the custom  Harrison Eidsgaard  design through a thorough bidding process, but based on their paramount requests of high speed and Northern European build quality, Heesen emerged as the most logical choice.

A pair of 4,613hp MTU 16V4000 M93s with conventional shaft drive provide the propulsion, while Heesen developed a hull design partially based on the 50 metre Satori hull platform that combined the Harrison Eidsgaard bow design with a serious need for speed. “The owner happily traded three metres of interior guest space to make sure the engine room and air plenums were optimised for the large power plant,” explained King.

Although Irisha has four well-appointed guest staterooms on the lower deck, including a pair that can be configured as a full-beam VIP, the yacht was originally envisioned as a day boat platform for a Sardinia-based cruising lifestyle. The owner has a villa on Sardinia but developed a style of using his previous yacht for waterborne lunches, swimming and entertaining. Still, with its marvellously appointed main-deck  master suite , complete with an office and a French balcony, the thought of overnight cruises will be tempting.

To extend the yacht’s season into spring and fall, Harrison Eidsgaard broke the mould on main deck layouts with a cockpit that is both an outdoor living room and a winter garden. The space is both heated and cooled with a separate, dedicated HVAC system. Large sliding glass doors open to meld the large dining room to the aft lounge; a hidden grate and drain system allowed the transition from indoor to outdoor space to be seamless and without a sill — essential to expanding the dining table to seat 22 guests.

The same focus on entertaining is obvious on the superyacht sundeck , with a pair of large bars under the hardtop. The spacious and extremely well-equipped galley and service pantry were conceived to support gracious entertaining and a true gourmet experience by the owner’s private chef.

Irisha ’s sleek look is courtesy of wrapping a design scheme that places the bridge on a half deck between the main and sundecks in a glass-wrapped superstructure. The helm sits behind and underneath the largest pieces of chemically hardened compound curve glass that could be made in Europe.

The windscreen glass extends aft as a canopy, creating a skylight effect over a cozy guest seating area. A large sliding glass door and a drop-down window link the bridge to the sundeck aft and when open it almost seems like the bridge of a pure sport boat.

Back aft, a fold-out stern door facilitates both launching of the Compass tender and swimming. With the tender out of the garage, the area becomes a  superyacht beach club  with a sauna and massage area tucked into the space. White curtains create a Nikki Beach-style atmosphere screening the beach club space and hiding watersports toys stored therein.

Irisha  is the first project for interior and exterior design under the Harrison Eidsgaard brand. The contemporary interior uses a pallet of neutral greyed beiges brought to life by layers of contrasting textures applied to walls and some door panels by DKT. Sleek bands of stainless steel highlight the straight grain joinery and quarter-sawn design panels that appear in just two simple tones.

While the winter garden and dining room will undoubtedly see the most use, the signature space is the main deck foyer and the open oval staircase extending through three decks. Along with the exterior glass, it was also the most challenging construction feature for Heesen, whose in-house interior joiner firm also built the interior.

The  superyacht staircase  is an undulating pathway, its unique hidden aluminium structure covered in a polished hand-plaster technique by DKT and topped by tempered glass structural balustrades and a leather handrail.

According to the owner’s broker and representative Jim Evans of  SuperYachtsMonaco ,  Irisha  will be available for select charter for up to ten guests.

The exterior, besides full-length panels of tinted glass is comprised of three colours created by Ales Seal. The top is oyster white, the main deck is noble blue and the hull is a custom blue grey metallic shade that shifts tone from teal to blue to grey depending on the light.

Other superyacht projects currently under development at the Dutch yard include the 80 metre flagship yacht  Project Cosmos , a  Winch  design due to launch in 2022.

Ultra G - 2023

A thundering full custom motor yacht

Ultra G is a full custom 60-metre motor yacht with impressive power: 22,000hp for a top speed of 37 knots. Heesen is renowned for its expertise in designing, engineering, and building lightweight, ultra-fast yachts with unparalleled precision. Drawing inspiration from two iconic Heesen sportfishing yachts from the 90s, Obsession and Red Sapphire, Ultra G is the culmination of over 40 years of shipbuilding experience, crafted to the highest standards of Dutch quality.

First Impressions

Frank Laupman of Omega Architects created a bold profile for our most powerful yacht to date. The yacht’s muscular shapes are crafted to produce strong architectural shadows, while Laupman has underscored the sport fishing image with an aggressive, high-contrast paint scheme. Deeply tinted windows, a black superstructure band and hardtop, and red-orange accent stripes are all expressing Ultra G's immense power and speed. When it came to selecting the hull colour, Ultra G's owner wanted something out of the ordinary, but not too drastic. He chose ‘Desert Tan’, described by Awlgrip as “calming and low key, this is a subtle and luxurious shade. Yellowy in its base tone, it suggests a vast desert landscape where adventure beckons.” Ultra G will look stunning out in the deep blue ocean, where the giants roam!

Step aboard

The layout of Ultra G is highly customized to match the lifestyle of her discerning owner. The lower deck is home to four suites, while the Owner has reserved the bridge deck aft as Owner's deck. A spacious suite that faces aft opens onto a private terrace with a whirlpool and seating area, perfect for relaxing. On the main deck aft terrace, there is a conversation area and alfresco dining. Large sliding doors connect the indoor seating area and the large bar amidships with the outdoors. Forward, there is a formal dining setup with an elegant oval table that can seat up to twelve guests. The media room is located forward, featuring a cinema and a games table. The wellness area, with sauna, steam room and snow room, is adjacent to the fisherman lounge.
