Heesen Shipyard: Crafted in Holland, Renowned Worldwide
Founded in 1978 in Oss, Netherlands, Heesen Yachts has built over 200 superyachts and become a world leader in aluminium yacht construction. The company’s expansive 4.4‑acre shipyard features nine construction halls and five dry docks capable of housing yachts up to 83 m long. With a relentless focus on engineering innovation, craftsmanship, and fuel-efficient, high-speed performance, Heesen embodies its own mantra: Power and Beauty, Confidence and Performance.
Built around three core offerings—full custom, smart custom, and series yachts—Heesen's in-house teams handle everything from naval architecture to interior fit-out, ensuring tight quality control and fast delivery times. Their signature aluminium Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) reduces fuel consumption by 30%, striking the ideal balance between efficiency and elegance.
Spotlight on Project Evita
Introducing Project Evita, a 57 m (186 ft) Fast Displacement aluminium yacht—Heesen’s largest spec-built vessel ever, with delivery slated for Q2 2027.
Exterior by Omega Architects: features a striking scallop‑shaped (scoop) stern and refined negative bridge windows, giving her a commanding yet graceful presence.
Engineering Excellence: heavy emphasis on lightweight aluminium and a vertical bow for maximum waterline length. The top speed hits 22 knots at half load, while a shallow 2.3 m draft allows access to places like the Bahamas—rare for a yacht of this size.
Designed by London’s Harrison Eidsgaard, the interior features a warm, adaptable palette and eco-friendly materials—such as performance leather and engineered wood. Commissioned spaces include a full-beam owner’s suite, five additional guest cabins, and room for 13 crew.
Why Project Evita Matters
Project Evita seamlessly merges performance, elegance, and versatility. Her FDHF aluminium hull and 780 GT volume offer generous spaces and long-range cruising, while the 22-knot speed and 2.3 m draft ensure access to exclusive destinations. As a spec-built yacht, she presents a unique opportunity for owners who desire a top-tier vessel without the wait of a full custom build
She is scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027, and is a prime example of Heesen’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and performance.
