The design integrates optional hybrid propulsion for silent cruising, emphasizing sustainability alongside luxury. Harrison Eidsgaard, the British studio behind both the exterior and interior, has crafted a refined yet timeless design that maximizes natural light, guest comfort, and seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity.
Key features include an infinity pool, a fixed swim platform, and a sundeck designed to host up to 20 guests.
To ensure exceptional hull quality, Heesen collaborates with Talsma, a renowned Dutch shipyard specializing in steel construction. The hulls are built off-site and transported to Heesen’s Oss facility for engine installation, outfitting, and finishing. This partnership, combined with proprietary construction techniques, guarantees precision and durability.
Project Grace emphasizes versatility, with features like discreet crew routing, ample storage, and a layout optimized for both guest enjoyment and operational efficiency. Highlights include a sundeck coffee table doubling as a skylight and design elements that enhance hospitality for day guests.
Scheduled for delivery in Q1 2027, Project Grace is now available for sale, offering potential owners a yacht that embodies Heesen’s legacy of blending innovation, sustainability, and luxury.
