I worked for Damen Shipyards for much of my professional life, so I’m accustomed to working for a leader in its field. I found Heesen to be equally as capable in the superyacht world and that attracted me a lot. I firmly believe that if you want to buy a superyacht you should go to a Dutch yard, with all due respect to other brands. I also liked the fact that the company is driven by innovation and quality and that they build semi-custom vessels on speculation. And if you go deeper, you see there are some good people working here and it’s a great team to work with. It’s not very big, so the lines of communication are short and it’s all very hands-on, which is something I adore. So all these factors mean it’s a bit like being a kid in the proverbial candy store for a commercial person like me.
