WELCOME
Heesen is a shipyard that continues to evolve. We have long been dedicated to building superyachts in aluminium and steel that offer speed, style and fuel-efficient cruising. Our award-winning vessels continue to match owners’ exacting demands, and our unrelenting focus on quality, craftsmanship and innovation has created one of the world’s most impressive shipbuilding legacies.
Renowned for our innovative hull designs and hybrid solutions, we are committed to developing more sustainable and fuel-efficient yacht. We combine this with a high level of craftsmanship, Dutch quality and first-class client service.
A yacht is a beautiful way to travel the world in luxury and expand your horizons. At Heesen, we create yachts that make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO
Home of yacht building! It is no coincidence that the best shipyards in the world are found in Holland. Our passion for yacht building and our commitment to quality is unmatched. And that is what makes Heesen the world’s leading builder of high-performance yachts.
All of our yachts – displacement, semi-displacement and fast displacement – are engineered and built in the nine sheds at our shipyard in Oss. All our yachts are recognised for their innovative engineering and exceptional performance, stability and comfort. We build in-house using the hardest steel and the strongest aluminium.
CRAFTED IN HOLLAND
STEEL & ALUMINIUM 50 - 80M
We make sure your crew are fully involved throughout the build process, from start to finish. Even after the yacht is delivered, we continue to train the crew and proactively maintain your yacht on board, at our shipyard or at one of our maintenance and refit partners around the world.
SUSTAINABLE YACHTING
We all must take responsibility to better protect what we love. By introducing BlueNautech, we continue to support the future of sustainable yachting through improved efficiencies, alternative materials, energy savings and alternative production methods.
PROJECT EVITA IS A HEESEN SERIES YACHT
All of our Heesen Series yachts have a proven track record thanks to the experience we have gained from previous builds. These yachts are fully designed and engineered. We can deliver them faster as we build them as speculative ventures. Customisations to the interior can be made but are dependent on delivery times and schedule.
Total proven yacht engineering and design
Fast delivery due to our speculation programme
Customisation options possible to a certain extent
Our Smart Custom offer has a proven track record when it comes to hull design and technology. These yachts are fully engineered above and below the main deck but can be offered with a customdesigned superstructure. This means we find a smart balance between proven performance, speed of delivery and customisation.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
SIMPLICITY
Less is more. Our simplicity in functional and aesthetic design creates a pure, relaxed and open atmosphere on board.
SPORTY
Both sporty and functional, on occasion our yachts look fast, but they are always poised for global exploration.
CONFIDENT
Ever confident when facing ocean challenges, our yachts are strong and robust. A quality epitomised by the conviction of our wheelhouse designs.
ELEGANCE
Our style creates impact but does not scream. It has an eye for detail and a timeless elegance.
FLOW
The lines in our designs come together as one, flowing without disruption. It is a singular, seamless, unbroken design. It is one.
NATURE
Inspired by and adapted to the surrounding nature, we use natural colours, large windows and extended decks to connect to the great outdoors.
INTRODUCING SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES INSPIRED BY THE OCEAN
INCREASING HULL EFFICIENCY
We have an impressive track record in creating lightweight and ultraefficient hull forms. The Fast Displacement Hull Form already decreases fuel consumption by 30%. Less weight means greater efficiency.
IMPROVING PROPULSION EFFICIENCY
Alternative fuels may be the future, but there are still huge possibilities to increase the efficiency of diesel-powered yachts. These include our acclaimed hybrid propulsion system, standard applications of SCR emission control and more efficient propeller designs.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION METHODS
Reducing yachting’s footprint includes a sustainable build process. 3D Printing, electrostatic paint-spraying, waste reduction and recycling can significantly reduce environmental impact.
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Improved waste management and electric-powered tenders are just two examples of how to reduce environmental impact and improve a yacht’s operational efficiency.
ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS AND RECYCLING
Each yacht is built from tons of steel, aluminium, wood and other materials that require sourcing and production. Innovation in this field includes extensive recycling and the use of alternative materials, such as sustainable woods.
ENERGY SAVING AT ANCHOR
On average, a yacht remains at anchor for 95% of the time. Sustainable power generators and waste heat recovery systems are therefore highly effective in reducing a yacht’s total energy consumption by increasing generator power and HVAC efficiency.
A THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
Evita is the second yacht in our 57-metre aluminium FDHF series and the largest in our short delivery programme. Designed by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, she boasts an elegant silhouette and elongated profile, making her unmistakable at sea and in port. A sweeping arch spans the length of the superstructure, while a subtly raked bow enhances her streamlined appearance. With a volume of 780GT, Evita offers spacious interiors throughout.
Her exterior embodies contemporary sophistication, featuring bold fashion plates and a striking stern. Every detail reflects a balance of beauty and functionality, with expansive outdoor areas ideal for leisure and relaxation.
The interior prioritises comfort and style, with innovative layouts and premium furnishings elevating the onboard experience. Notable features include a 63-squaremetre owner’s apartment on the main deck, a spacious open sundeck, and impressive speeds exceeding 22 knots. With a 2.3m draft, Evita is perfectly suited for navigating the shallow waters of the Bahamas.
A serene lounge area in front of the bridge offers the perfect setting for breakfast with breathtaking views. Two Pascoe International tenders are conveniently stored on the foredeck, ready to transport guests to the shore or nearby attractions. A discreetly stored crane ensures easy tender launching, facilitating smooth transitions from yacht to water. This design maximises space, enhancing the luxurious yachting experience. The thoughtfully arranged amenities invite guests to unwind and soak in their surroundings, delivering a memorable blend of comfort and adventure—from tranquil mornings to thrilling seaside excursions.
FORWARD AREA
The distinct scoop-shaped stern of Evita is at deviation from traditional superyacht designs. As yachts line in the marina, Evita’s innovative concave aft establishes a new trend, redefining market expectations and standing apart with unparalleled style.
A new design feature for the second yacht in the series is the infinity pool on the main deck aft. This delightful addition enhances the space, offering stunning views and a perfect gathering spot for conversations at the day’s end while contemplating the horizon.
ENDLESS HORIZON BLISS
The expansive sundeck serves as the pièce de résistance for both relaxing and enjoying al-fresco dining amid stunning views and fresh air.
The bridge deck aft terrace features a large round table accommodating up to 12 guests, complemented by a built-in lazy Susan for optimal service. The open bulwark enhances views, while a nearby dumbwaiter and spacious pantry ensure that the crew can effortlessly serve meals to guests with ease and comfort.
DINING WITH SCENIC VIEWS
The main deck aft terrace offers a comfortable open-air lounge perfect for unwinding, while the bridge deck aft terrace creates an ideal setting for dining and post-dinner relaxation. Guests can fully experience numerous outdoor opportunities onboard.
Evita departs from traditional yachts, blending impressive fuel efficiency with an exciting top speed of 22 knots. Her design enhances the horizontal lines, making her slender while offering a generous 780 GT of enclosed volume.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
STRIKING AND POISED FOR ACTION
At 57 metres, Evita sits neatly in between the Heesen 50 metres ‘sweet spot’ and standard 60 metres offerings.
Long-time Heesen collaborator, Frank Laupman of Dutch design studio Omega Architects believes Evita carves out a new niche in the yachting world. Keen to sketch a yacht that leverages the engineering expertise from Heesen’s proven platforms, Laupman believes Evita’s defining exterior features are the scoopshaped concave stern, and an elongated profile. The concave stern is a design trait that carries on up the entire aft end of the yacht and makes an impact from all angles.
“Evita moves away from the more traditional yachts and offers fuel efficiency thanks to her longer waterline,” he explains. “A boat with a longer waterline has a higher hull speed – the speed that the yacht runs with relatively least resistance. So, her 54 metres waterline keeps the internal volume within 780 GT while also increasing her optical length to 60 metres, thanks to a slightly raked bow.”
“But the stern also comes into play here,”he adds. “ We wanted to create a stern that looks different from all
other yachts, one that sits apart when in a line-up in port, so we decided to make the stern concave. That concave character is repeated in the overhangs, so it’s highly visible when the yacht is anchored stern-to. It also gives more space in the middle of the aft swim platform, allowing for up to three sun loungers.”
ONE LARGE LEAP FORWARD
Long, sleek and with the dynamism of an animal on the hunt, the yacht’s drawn out forward lines give it a stealthy appearance. Stretched angular shapes keep the eye-line low, creating the sense of a fast, energetic and commanding design.
STAND-OUT DESIGN
When approaching the yacht from the stern, the unique design is immediately apparent. A distinctive concave shape sets the vessel apart from all other yachts in port. Neatly integrated with the upwards curve of the upper overhangs and repeated elsewhere in the yacht’s consistent design language, it is a key striking feature of the exterior.

OUR DNA
We have long pursued one consistent mission: to create yachts with exceptional engineering and high attention to detail. We achieve this with a highly-skilled workforce and a passion for perfection.
The aim is to fulfill every customer’s dream. Each yacht is built in-house, using the hardest steel and the strongest aluminium. This craftsmanship is matched by a hunger for innovation and challenge. The result: designs that continue to push limits and set the industry’s benchmark. But the Heesen experience goes beyond building a perfect yacht. It’s about exceeding the client’s expectations with first-class service throughout the customer journey.
Our infrastructure has steadily expanded and improved since our inception in 1978, making us one of the world’s most advanced and well-equipped yacht-building facilities. Our shipyard in Oss, the Netherlands, covers 22,000 square meters and has 2,900 square meters of workshop space.
We have everything necessary for building superyachts up to the highest Dutch quality standards. Thanks to the addition of new docks, our production capacity has steadily increased. In 2016, we opened a 90-meter shed with a dry dock capable of building yachts up to 80 meters.
OUR SHIPYARD
We build our lightweight aluminium hulls in-house.
PRIME TECHNOLOGY
Building a yacht is one of the most challenging construction processes in the world. Few activities require as much skill or expertise. What’s more, in this high-tech era of robots and automated production, a Heesen yacht is still largely crafted by hand.
We are known worldwide for our expert welding. It is always a magical moment when the first curves of the hull appear, and the yacht’s design comes to life. We construct our yachts out of aluminium – which requires highly skilled and experienced welders – and steel. The exterior outfitting stage is the biggest challenge within yacht building; difficult to do but executed by us to perfection.
Achieving the perfect finish on a large surface area is hugely challenging. Several layers of epoxy primer are applied to the aluminium and steel surfaces of a yacht, giving the hull and superstructure a smooth finish and a perfect base for the paintwork. It takes a trained eye and skilful hands to apply each layer at exactly the right thickness. Thankfully, our welding is so perfect, the surface requires less preparation work than is needed at other shipyards.
A PERFECT FINISH
HAND-BUILT IMAGINATION
As one of the few yacht builders to have an entire in-house department of interior specialists, we guarantee quality and custom design solutions to spark your imagination.
Our main interior workshop is in Winterswijk, just over an hour’s drive from Oss. It provides more than 8,100 square metres of working space, allowing craftspeople to work on up to five Heesen projects at the same time. This is where all the luxury areas – such as the dining area, owner’s stateroom and guest suites – are created. At the shipyard in Oss, a large group of craftspeople work on the service areas, interiors and sky lounges.
Interior building requires a lot of skill and machinery and is one of the reasons why we invest so heavily in young talent. “The interior workshop has evolved over time, and we are very proud of it and our many award-winning yacht interiors,” says Henry Schreur, director of Heesen Interiors. Examples include the acclaimed My Sky, Galactica Star, Elena, Amore Mio, Galactica Super Nova and the mighty Galactica.
Mock-up
The interior construction process consists of two phases: the first is the creation of a full-sized, fully-finished interior mock-up fitted with handles, switches, lamps, fabrics and flooring. If the owner approves the concept, the interior team begins the workshop drawings and materials sourcing.
Exquisite materials
The second phase is the creation of the interior. The craftspeople work with all types of exclusive wood, including teak, wenge and Macassar ebony. We also use glass, ray and goat skin, marble, onyx and other minerals. There are no limits to what our interior specialists can create.
Perfect finish
Raw materials, such as bamboo, wood and leather, differ from each other in their colour or texture.
To create uniformity, our interior specialists treat each piece of wood and animal skin by bleaching, staining or dying. Every piece needs to look exactly like its proposed design.
Interior assembly
All the interior elements are created in the wood shops in Oss and Winterswijk and are then assembled and finished on board the yacht. This requires a range of skills and expertise to achieve a perfect result.

AFTER SALES AND YACHT SERVICES
With an ever-expanding fleet of superyachts cruising the world, it was only natural for us to broaden our scope of services and launch a comprehensive programme called ‘Yacht Services by Heesen’. Alongside the shipyard’s existing After Sales, which ensures premium care and provides maintenance and technical support throughout the yacht’s entire lifespan, the Yacht Services programme enhances owners’ overall experience and improves the operational reliability of their assets. In addition, we proactively reach out to all owners with the range of yacht services detailed on the following pages.
Original Spare Parts & Provisioning
By offering original components at all hours, we ensure operational reliability and avoid a delayed or cancelled cruise due to technical failures. We also offer owners a complete package of recommended spare parts before they take delivery. To be able to offer this, we maintain excellent relations with all equipment suppliers in food, beverage, crew clothing and medical equipment, etc., to make sure high-quality, warranty-protected and competitively priced parts arrive on time.
Refit
We introduced our refit service to ensure Heesen’s Dutch quality standards are maintained throughout the lifecycle of our yachts. Owners sometimes need to fall back on local shipyards and subcontractors when maintenance and repair work is required. Therefore, we provide managerial assistance on necessary refit, repair and renewal work, either from a distance or on location.
A flying squad of technicians is ready to travel at a moment’s notice to any location in the world.
Customer Support & Warranty
Our Warranty team looks after all claims and warranty requirements. Our Customer Support provides general 24/7 assistance to any Heesen client in need, even on location thanks to our flying squad.
