Heesen’s 55m Steel Motor Yacht SOLEMATES Makes A Splash

Heesen is renowned for its commitment to both luxury and innovation, exemplified both in its stunning new vessel SOLEMATES and the fact that her Owners were returning Heesen customers. 

‘Heesen’s exceptional quality standards and unwavering commitment to exceeding expectations ensured that Solemates would be another extraordinary build,’ commented Rupert Connor of Luxury Yachts who represented the Owner. ‘The construction process with this Dutch shipyard was, once again, a pleasure, as their project team enthusiastically embraced our requests.’

 Prior to her rigorous sea trials in the North Sea, SOLEMATES will enter the commissioning phase. She is a beautiful representation of the Owner’s vision, which Heesen executed to perfection. The intention behind SOLEMATES was a personalised vessel for family use, exuding a welcoming atmosphere to facilities cherished moments on the water. 

The bridge deck salon promotes social gatherings, whilst the sundeck features an expanded jacuzzi and bar, perfect for family get-togethers that are enhanced with stunning vistas. 

Heesen’s expert interior engineers, in collaboration with Silvia Margutti of Luca Dini Design and Architecture, penned her interior design, ensuring to reflect the Owner’s unique preferences. She is characterised by a vibrant colour scheme, blending lime greens, teal and baby aqua blue, contributing a lively elegance to the ambiance onboard. 

One of SOLEMATE’s standout features is the redesigned main staircase. This stunning element is adorned with acrylic panels elevated with gold flakes and crystals, creating a visual display of enchantment onboard. 

Niels Vaesson, CEO of Heesen Yachts, commented: ‘The launch of Solemates illustrates our commitment to delivering exceptional quality and innovative design. We take pride in creating yachts that not only meet but exceed the aspirations of our clients.’

She is set to make her grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September, before heading to America to make an appearance at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. 

SOLEMATES is scheduled for delivery in Q2 2025.
