A new 50-m full-custom motoryacht built by Heesen Yachts and just delivered to her owners will be among a list of stunning superyachts at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show. 

Christened Ann G, project YN 17350 was intensively tested in the North Sea in early July in smooth sea conditions with fresh breeze predominantly blowing from south east, ahead of the handover in international waters in the middle of the month. 

Ann G, whose full-displacement steel hull was created by Heesen’s in-house team of naval architects and engineers, exceeded the contractual speed by 0.6 knots, reaching a top speed of 15.6 knots. 

Arcon Yachts, who project managed the construction of this unique vessel, comments: “Ann G’s owner is a client with strong vision and high expectations. We are very pleased with the result as Ann G is the quintessence of customisation and superb attention to detail; she is a muscular yet sleek motoryacht that will make heads turn wherever she goes!” 

The owner appointed Clifford Denn to draw the exterior profile of his unique Heesen – a perfect example of a vessel that exudes the strong individuality of her owner while keeping the family feeling that characterises all yachts delivered by Heesen. Clifford Denn interpreted the client’s brief for a yacht with a powerful and aggressive personality, incorporating complex and extremely refined design elements into the exterior lines that have been beautifully and perfectly crafted by Heesen in house expert aluminium welders. 


INTERIORS

Award-winning designers Raymond Langton and team created the bold interiors of Ann G. 

The interior design is characterised by rich Macassar ebony, accented with stainless steel features to exude a luxurious, refined atmosphere with warming touches of backlit white onyx and soft tactile leather. A striking first impression for those stepping on board is created by the bespoke Art Deco style chandelier extending over two decks that is framed by the open-tread stairs.

The main salon is a perfect area for entertaining guests with an intimate seating area adjoining the bar of Macassar and backlit onyx. The room also includes an elegant dining area with an extending Macassar dining table featuring an inlaid art panel and a feature artwork by Based Upon on the forward bulkhead.

The guest accommodation continues the contemporary Art Deco theme, with Macassar, stainless steel, leather and parchment, and a unique palette of artworks and fabrics distinguishing each of the four guest cabins.

The owner’s suite, located forward on the main deck, features a private office, large full-beam bedroom and bathroom flanked by his and hers changing rooms. The bedroom is accented with artistic touches such as fabric artwork, and intricate deco motif inlaid into the foot of the bed, and geometric stone mosaic artwork in the bathroom.

On the bridge deck, the sky lounge is a more informal, intimate atmosphere with the Macassar architecture of the room contrasted by parchment wall panels and opulent fabrics, framed with windows on three sides filling the room with natural light and offering panoramic views of the seascapes beyond.

The lower deck beach club is the most contemporary in style – a multi-purpose space dedicated to relaxation, with space for gym equipment, steam room, bar and seating area. The main woods in this area are elm panelling and teak flooring to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Ann G will be on display at the 2105 Monaco Yacht Show, which will be held from September 23 to 26 at Port Hercules.

Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to use aluminium for yacht hulls. Since it has become a world leader in design, engineering and construction of high-performance motor-yachts.

In 1992 it expanded to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts, and today delivers superyachts within the 30 to 80 m size range, and beyond. 

Eights yachts are currently in construction and their deliveries span through to 2018.
