Currently under construction, Project Venus is progressing rapidly, with a launch date set for January 2025. Part of Heesen’s speculative program, this superyacht offers clients the chance to acquire a luxurious vessel with reduced delivery times, without sacrificing quality.
Silvia Margutti from Luca Dini Design and Architecture is leading the interior design customization, working closely with the client and his team to ensure the yacht mirrors the owner’s sophisticated taste and lifestyle. Construction of Project Venus began in November 2022. The sleek steel hull, based on van Oossanen Naval Architects’ highly efficient FDHF design, was expertly crafted at Talsma in Friesland, the Netherlands. Talsma, a decade-long trusted partner of Heesen, collaborates closely with Heesen engineers to produce steel hulls that meet their rigorous standards. To maintain quality, steel hulls are fabricated separately from aluminium hulls, which are welded at Heesen’s Oss facility.
Soon, Heesen’s skilled interior artisans will start to bring the owner’s vision to life, promising a personalized and luxurious onboard experience.
With a substantial 760 GT of enclosed space, Project Venus provides ample room for lavish amenities while remaining compact enough to navigate the Mediterranean’s picturesque ports. Known for its outstanding seakeeping abilities, Venus ensures safe and smooth cruising even in rough seas, thanks to the forward placement of stabilizer fins and a robust steel hull.
Heesen CEO Niels Vaessen expresses his pleasure at the client’s return, stating, “A returning client signifies the unparalleled quality and reliability of our yachts. It underscores our dedication to delivering products that exceed expectations and meet the highest standards of luxury and performance. The loyalty and satisfaction of our clients drive us to continually innovate and perfect our craftsmanship.”
The delivery of YN 20655 is slated for Q2 2025, marking another significant achievement for Heesen Yachts in providing exceptional superyachts to discerning clients.
