With muscular exterior lines by Omega Architects, characterised by ‘shark-tooth’ superstructure overhangs and vertical windows, Heesen s 55-metre class epitomises the idea of elegance on the water. The design features the latest iteration of van Oossanen’s ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form.

Designers carry a responsibility for ensuring that the materials, finishes and products they source for yacht interiors are harvested, farmed or manufactured sustainably – not an easy task when luxury is often synonymous with rarity.
