Santosha literally means "contentment” or “satisfaction" in Sanskrit. She is the very first in Heesen’s new 57-metre Aluminium Class and won the #minervatrophy for #bestexteriordesignaward at the BOAT International Media Design and Innovation Awards. The exterior lines by Omega Architects exemplify elegance by blending sculpted elements like the concave stern and tapered overhangs with muscular automotive overtones. A harmonious fusion of grace and strength.

What’s interesting for a client stepping into a yacht that’s been built on speculation like Agnetha is to understand what level of customisation is possible when the interior layout is set,” says Silvia Margutti of LUCA DINI Design & Architecture. “So, we prepared several interior proposals with different lighting, furniture and décor to show how even an interior that is almost complete can be transformed and tailored.” For Agnetha—a go-anywhere blue water motor yacht and the newest addition to our popular 55-metre Steel series—Margutti proposed four individual themes based on renowned Shakespeare plays.

On this International Women’s Day, we draw inspiration from Laura Dekker, whose remarkable solo circumnavigation at just 16 years old shattered boundaries and showcased the extraordinary potential of women in yachting. Her journey is a testament to courage, determination, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. At Heesen Yachts, we recognise that while trailblazers like Laura pave the way, it is the everyday contributions of women across our shipyard and our fine cabinetry workshop in Winterswijk that truly enrich our industry. From skilled artisans to smart engineers, their resilience and expertise are integral to our success. Today, we celebrate not only the iconic figures but also the countless women who bring passion, strength, and innovation to our work. Together, let us continue to foster an inclusive environment that empowers the next generation of female leaders in yachting. Happy International Women’s Day!

Each year, the Pantone Colour Institute selects a shade that reflects current trends, cultural movements, and emotions, influencing design across various industries including fashion, interior design, and product development. The colour for 2025 is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming brown hue imbued with richness. This colour nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, responding to our desire for comfort. One yacht ahead of the curve in colour trends was Azamanta. Her owner opted for this very shade ten years prior, when they chose it for the hull of their 55-metre yacht delivered in 2015.
