Heesen Yachts: A Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1978 by Dutch entrepreneur Frans Heesen, Heesen Yachts began its journey in Oss, The Netherlands, by taking over an existing shipyard and pioneering the use of aluminum in yacht construction. Just a year later, the 20-metre Amigo became the first yacht to carry the Heesen name, marking the birth of a shipyard destined to redefine luxury and performance.
Engineering and Innovation
Heesen has consistently led the way in yacht innovation. From the fast displacement yacht Galactica Star in 2013 to the hybrid-powered Home in 2017 and the record-breaking Project Cosmos in 2018, Heesen has integrated advanced technology, sustainable solutions, and intelligent design. Yachts like Alive harness kinetic energy, reducing fuel consumption while offering exceptional onboard luxury.
A Philosophy of Power and Beauty
At the heart of Heesen Yachts is a philosophy: “Power and Beauty. Confidence and Performance.” Every yacht embodies skill, dedication, and Dutch craftsmanship, offering owners unparalleled performance, comfort, and elegance. From aluminum to steel, displacement to fast displacement designs, no two Heesen yachts are alike—each is meticulously tailored to its owner’s vision.

Shipyard History
Established in 1978 by Frans Heesen in Oss, The Netherlands, Heesen Yachts pioneered the use of aluminum in yacht hulls, marking a historic milestone in Dutch shipbuilding. Since then, the company has risen to prominence as a global leader in designing, engineering, and crafting high-performance motor yachts. In 1992, Heesen expanded its portfolio to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts, featuring steel hulls. Today, Heesen Yachts continues to deliver superyachts ranging from 30 to 80 meters in length and beyond.
The current fleet encompasses a diverse range of vessels, including aluminum, steel, displacement, semi-displacement, and the innovative fast displacement (FDHF) designs developed in collaboration with Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Heesen Yachts proudly holds membership in the Superyacht Builders Association (SYBAss).
A Journey of Performance and Design
In 1988, Heesen made a global impact with Octopussy, a 38-metre yacht reaching over 50 knots, establishing the company as a leader in high-speed luxury yachts. Over the following decades, Heesen expanded its expertise, building steel displacement yachts like Achiever in 1992, introducing long-range capabilities, and launching the world’s largest sport fisherman, Obsessions, in 1996. Each milestone reinforced Heesen’s reputation for blending engineering excellence with bold design.
Expanding Horizons
The shipyard’s growth mirrors its ambition. The construction of a new 85-metre dry dock in 2016 enabled the production of larger, more sophisticated yachts, while continued collaborations with renowned designers such as Omega Architects, Winch Design, Espen Oeino, and Reymond Langton have resulted in unique, high-performance vessels like Sparta, Lusine, and Ultra G.
Continuing the Legacy
With over 45 years of history, Heesen Yachts remains at the forefront of superyacht innovation. The shipyard continues to deliver both semi-custom and fully bespoke projects, shaping the future of luxury yachting. Each milestone—from early aluminum builds to modern record-breaking superyachts—reflects a journey of passion, engineering mastery, and global recognition.
