Her interior carries Disdale’s signature modern simplicity. The main salon is framed by generous windows and finished in light woods and soft neutral tones that create a bright, composed atmosphere. The full-beam owner’s suite is located forward on the main deck, providing privacy and scale rarely found at this size. Four additional guest cabins below are arranged for flexibility, each with en suite facilities and balanced proportions that enhance comfort during extended cruising.
On deck, KIJO offers multiple open-air zones tailored for social and private use. The sun deck includes a Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads and a full-service bar, creating an inviting vantage point underway or at anchor. Aft decks are configured for shaded dining, while the swim platform provides direct access to the sea. Teak decks and wide side passages ensure smooth circulation throughout, uniting function and form across every level.
Performance is delivered by twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 engines, producing a top speed of 26 knots and an efficient cruising profile between 17 and 22 knots. Her semi-displacement hull, built entirely in aluminium, achieves both agility and comfort. Underway and zero-speed stabilizers minimize motion in all sea states, maintaining a smooth experience whether cruising or at anchor. With fuel capacity near 69,000 litres and range exceeding 2,000 nautical miles, she is equally suited for coastal or regional passages.
Presented in turnkey condition following a full technical overhaul and fresh class certification, KIJO exemplifies Heesen’s approach to quality construction and enduring style. Combining Northern European pedigree, volume, and proven performance, she is a compelling option for a discerning buyer seeking immediate delivery of a capable and beautifully maintained yacht.
