Making Waves: Heesen/Paszkowski Concept
Apparently, it is possible to be pretty big (in this case about 188 feet 4 inches long by 33 feet 10 inches wide) and stay sleek. This aluminum yacht (an advanced and ready-to-build concept) was born on the computer screen of designer Francesco Paszkowski who, of late, has collaborated with the Dutch builder on a couple of interior designs.

Heesen Launches The New Petra
Heesen Yachts’ newest Lady Petra, a very special hull in Heesen’s award-winning 154-foot (47-meter) series, was built for company founder Frans Heesen. Heesen’s bigger-than-life personality and energy helped create a boatbuilding empire. Heesen—based in Oss, the Netherlands—builds semi-custom and fully custom yachts in all aluminum or aluminum and steel.
Heesen Finds Serenity
Among a flurry of activity, which includes several launches and a big step in the construction of its 213-foot (65-meter) so-called FDHF, Heesen Yachts has delivered its largest displacement vessel to date. At 180 feet, 5 inches (55 meters), Serenity represents another milestone for the Dutch shipyard, which in the past few years has built its reputation on all-aluminum fast semi-displacement yachts.
