Established in 1978 by Frans Heesen, Heesen Yachts has made a name for itself as one of the world’s premier yacht manufacturers. The company was launched in Oss, a town in the Netherlands renowned for its maritime history. Earning a reputation for their quality and craftsmanship, Heesen Yachts was instrumental in spearheading the Dutch Superyacht industry's growth by integrating modern technology with traditional shipbuilding.
In 1988, the company gained recognition in the global market by launching its 130-foot superyacht, Octopussy, considered one of the fastest superyachts of its time. Post that great success, Heesen Yachts began venturing into larger superyacht territory (200-feet and upwards) and emerged as a leading player in this domain.
Today, Heesen Yachts is based at its state-of-the-art facility in Oss and is known for its commitment to innovative design and engineering, with a portfolio that encompasses semi-displacement, full-displacement, and the pioneering 'Fast Displacement Hull Form'. Each boat reflects a blend of elegant aesthetics, high performance, and superior functionality, embodying the company's ongoing pursuit of perfection.
