The new generation of yachts are taking their design cues from island living. And, so the yacht manufacturers are incorporating innovative ways to diminish the boundaries between the yacht and the sea with fold-out cockpit and side platforms for easy access to the sea. We have earlier told you about such designs, including the innovative “Wider” yacht, Kharima 81′ catamaran with side platforms and the paper boat concept. Heesen yacht has also unveiled their latest 65m Fast Displacement (FDHF) superyacht concept to create a “terrace on the sea.” Heesen 65m yachts exterior was designed by Omega Architects, and the yacht features space for up to 12 guests in six beautiful cabins and can accommodate a crew of 13. The superyacht features a duplex beach club located aft on the main and lower decks with a 10 square meter side balcony on the port side and 22 square meter swimming pool platform.

The lower deck features a sauna, hammam, shower room, day head and a fully equipped bar. The highlight of the Heesen motoryacht is the glass bottom of swimming-pool located on the main deck which gives it a spacious feel and allows the effect created by natural light shimmering through the water to the bar area beneath.

On the fore deck, there is a large sunbathing area, which can be transformed into a touch-and-go helipad. The tender garages with gull-wing doors are also located beneath the foredeck. The yacht features a maximum speed of 27 knots, and can comfortably cruise at 24 knots at approx 75% engine power output. The aluminum hull and superstructure are designed by Van Oossanen and Heesen Yachts Naval Architects.
