Constructed on the renowned 'crafted in Holland' build quality, Dutch shipyard Heesen specialises in building aluminium and steel superyachts that bring together the best of speed, style and fuel-efficient cruising. Located in Oss, the Netherlands, the shipyard offers three different yacht concepts - series, smart custom, and fully custom - which range from 30 metres to 80 metres in length.

Originally founded in 1978 by Frans Heesen, the shipyard rose to international acclaim with the launch of the iconic 44m Octopussy in 1988 - at the time, the fastest superyacht in the world with a top speed exceeding 50 knots. A truly landmark project, her launch set the tone for Heesen's legacy of pushing the boundaries of yacht performance and design. Heesen's early adoption of aluminium alloy to construct high-performance yachts further distinguished it in the market.

Over the years, the shipyard has expanded its expertise to include steel displacement hulls, further enhancing its reputation as a pioneer in yacht construction. Heesen continues to pave the way for innovation within the industry with a focus on innovation, design, and sustainability. The yard's current offering includes its Series models, fully engineered yachts built on speculation with a short delivery time; its Smart Custom models built on existing platforms like the popular 55m Steel series, with fast delivery and customisation options; and its Custom yachts. Some of Heesen's most notable yachts include its largest yacht to date, the 80.7m Genesis, the 70m Galactica Super Nova and the 55m Azamanta, the first fast displacement hulled yacht over 50 metres in length. Beyond constructing new builds, Heesen also offers extensive refit and maintenance services, supporting its clients throughout the lifespan of their yachts.
