Heesen sells biggest yacht to date 80.07-metre Project Cosmos.

08 March 2018

Heesen has announce the sale of YN 19480, Project Cosmos, an 80.07-metre all-aluminium FDHF motoryacht for delivery in April 2022.

This is the second contract sealed by the Dutch shipyard in 2018, who began last year with the sale of six yachts. Project Cosmos is the largest yacht to date to be built by Heesen, and follows on from its existing major projects in the 60-metre plus market segment with the 65-metre Galactica Star in 2013, the iconic 70-metre Galactica Super Nova in 2016, and its recent accomplishment, 60-metre Project Falcon.

At 80.07 metres, 1,700GT and with a top speed of 29 knots, Project Cosmos will be a massive full-aluminium motoryacht with conventional propeller propulsion system.

Thanks to the revolutionary FDHF devised by van Oossanen and four MTU 20V diesel engines, Project Cosmos will continue Heesen’s long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries with head-turning yacht design, smart technology, and outstanding performance.

Winch Design was appointed by the owners to create a streamlined yacht with innovative design traits but still retaining the Heesen DNA: muscular sportiness and timeless elegance. The extensive use of glass and the combination of soft and sculpted shapes make Project Cosmos a yacht packed full of contemporary charm; a thoroughbred racehorse, the next evolution of the Heesen breed.

Some of the most notable features on board Project Cosmos will be:

the fully-rated helicopter landing pad for a Eurocopter EC135 that transforms into an outdoor cinema
the crystal elevator from the lower deck to the sun deck for chic accessibility
A seven-metre pool with contra-jets for swimming, paired with a waterfall and glass bottom
the sumptuous beach club with a sunken walk-around bar and large transom and side platforms
the full-custom limousine tender by Winch Design, oozing sophistication
the forward tender garage

Twelve guests will be accommodated in four well-appointed suites on the lower deck, a VIP with adjacent private studio on the bridge deck, and the striking master stateroom on the main deck forward. Nineteen crew in eleven cabins will be able to discretely service the guests.
