Heesen Yachts

Shipyard History

Founded in 1978 by Frans Heesen in Oss, The Netherlands, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to use aluminum for its yachts' hulls. Since then they have become a world leader in the design, engineering and construction of high-performance motor yachts. In 1992 they expanded their business to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts made from steel hulls, and today they deliver superyachts within the 30-80 meters size range, and beyond.

The current fleet includes aluminum, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the revolutionary fast displacement (FDHF) developed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Today Heesen Yachts has continued to pioneer the use of aluminum to produce seaworthy yet fast performance superyachts. The yard is a member of SYBAss (Superyacht Builders Association).

Shipyard Specialty

The Dutch shipyard delivers semi-custom and full-custom projects with its portfolio keeping on growing. Each Heesen vessel is tailored to its owner, always adhering to Heesen’s main principle: "Power and Beauty. Confidence and Performance". This means no two yachts by Heesen are the same. This approach is brought to life with the company’s meticulous attention to detail and its incredible reputation within the yachting community. All Heesen builds include the latest technology and engineering advancements as well as the time-honoured tradition of Dutch craftsmanship. Known for its advanced performance and designs by market-leading designers, Heesen is a proven brand that is highly respected and the recipient of multiple awards. The quality of these builds, both interior, and exterior, makes them popular choices on the sales and charter markets.
