Heesen Unveils the Magnificent Project Setteesettanta: A New Era in Custom Superyachts

A Masterpiece of Contemporary Yacht Design

Heesen Yachts has once again set the bar high in the world of luxury yachting with the launch of Project Setteesettanta, an impressive 187-foot superyacht that embodies the pinnacle of custom craftsmanship. Built entirely from aluminum, this vessel is tailored for discerning owners who appreciate the finer things in life. With a sleek exterior designed by Omega Architects and a sumptuous interior curated by Cristiano Gatto Design, Project Setteesettanta is poised to redefine what it means to cruise in style.

Innovative Features for the Modern Mariner

At approximately 920 gross tons, Project Setteesettanta is engineered to be a long-range family cruiser, boasting a shallow draft of just 7 feet 7 inches. This characteristic allows for access to exclusive destinations that often remain off-limits to deeper-hulled yachts, making it an ideal choice for adventurous families eager to explore hidden gems along the coastlines.

The yacht’s impressive four-deck layout includes a private owner’s deck featuring a master stateroom with panoramic 180-degree views. The stateroom opens directly onto an expansive terrace measuring nearly 2,150 square feet—an outdoor sanctuary that doubles as a touch-and-go helipad. Such luxurious touches ensure that the owners and their guests can enjoy the splendors of the sea in ultimate privacy and comfort.

Accommodations Designed for Comfort and Elegance

Project Setteesettanta offers luxurious accommodations for up to 12 guests, with a VIP stateroom located on the main deck and four additional guest staterooms on the lower deck. The thoughtfully designed crew quarters can accommodate up to 13 professional crew members, ensuring that every need is met during voyages.

One of the standout features of the yacht is its main-deck dining area, which seamlessly opens onto the aft terrace through expansive sliding glass doors. This design creates an uninterrupted flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for al fresco dining experiences that are second to none. The oval staircase connecting all four decks serves not only as a functional element but also as a stunning architectural feature that enhances the yacht’s aesthetic appeal.

Engineering Excellence and Performance

Heesen’s engineering expertise shines through in the performance capabilities of Project Setteesettanta. Powered by twin MTU 16V2000 M72 diesel engines, each generating 1,931 horsepower, the yacht achieves a remarkable top speed of 18 knots. With a transatlantic cruising range of approximately 3,900 nautical miles at 12 knots, this superyacht is equipped for long journeys across the open sea.

In a notable first for Heesen, the bridge has been elevated to the fourth deck, creating an observation deck that allows for breathtaking views while maintaining the yacht’s low-profile aesthetic. The lightweight mast, designed by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, is complemented by flush-mounted Starlink antennas, ensuring connectivity without compromising style.

Luxurious Amenities for Unparalleled Relaxation

Luxury knows no bounds aboard Project Setteesettanta. The aft features twin staircases that gracefully wrap around a stunning 13-foot infinity pool, designed for both relaxation and entertainment. This inviting pool seamlessly transitions into the yacht’s swim platform, providing an effortless way to enjoy the water. Additionally, the yacht is equipped with Quantum F45 electric-hydraulic stabilizers, enhancing comfort whether underway or at anchor.

Embarking on a New Journey

As Project Setteesettanta prepares for its upcoming commissioning at the Heesen shipyard, anticipation builds for its sea trials scheduled for late summer. With delivery expected in December 2026, this bespoke superyacht exemplifies Heesen’s commitment to quality, innovation, and luxury.

For Miami’s affluent clientele seeking a vessel that combines performance, elegance, and the ability to access exclusive destinations, Project Setteesettanta is a captivating choice. As the yachting market continues to evolve, this superyacht stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity that define the luxury yacht segment.
