Heesen Yachts Delivers 55-meter Fast Displacement "Azamanta"​

Heesen Yachts has announced their new 55-meter Fast Displacement hull "Azamanta" just finished intensive sea trials in the North Sea. Azamanta, whose Fast Displacement Hull Form was developed by Van Oossanenin in collaboration with Heesen Yachts in-house naval architects, exceeded the contractual speed by 0.4 knots, reaching a top speed of 16.9 knots. Propelling around 600 tonnes of steel and aluminum at 15 knots with only 1650kW of power, the yacht has proved to be a benchmark in terms of efficiency. The bold exterior design by Omega Architects is characterized by chiseled, sharp lines. The superstructure is adorned by “the shark tooth”, a design signature on the overhang of the wheelhouse that lends to Azamanta's personality.

Vertical windows – new to the Heesen’s aesthetics – and numerous glass insertions in the bulwarks allow more natural light to flood the interior and significantly improve the indoor/outdoor connection, offering great views of the sea even when seated in the sky lounge. Omega’s clean design without fashion plates and supports has been cleverly engineered and meticulously executed by Heesen’s in-house experts; the superstructure aft, for example, is completely free from pillars, offering uninterrupted ocean vistas.
