Setteesettanta // Heesen Yachts

Omega Architects designed the exterior of Setteesettanta, and Cristiano Gatto, who also serves as the owner’s representative, executed the interior design.

Recently, the pivotal process of selecting the finest marbles occurred in Verona, Italy, ensuring that the most exquisite materials harmonize with the yacht’s refined interior design. This step is paramount in preserving the unique quality that characterizes Gatto’s meticulous design approach and Heesen’s precise craftsmanship.

Project Setteesettanta marks the inaugural Heesen yacht to incorporate a bridge on the fourth deck, upholding the brand’s sleek aesthetic with cutting-edge design features. These include light, discreet mast, and innovative flat Star Link communication panels. The yacht places a high priority on the privacy of its owners, with a dedicated upper deck and a master stateroom offering panoramic vistas and a private terrace.

Niels Vaessen, the CEO of Heesen, expressed, “It is with great honor that we are entrusted once more with the construction of a bespoke yacht by these seasoned yacht owners. Project Setteesettanta epitomizes Heesen’s fundamental principles with its aluminum hull, shallow draft, and meticulous engineering. The process of witnessing this 57-meter yacht take form is deeply gratifying. Celebrating this milestone and upholding maritime traditions alongside the owners and their team is significant. We take great pride in our in-house expertise and capabilities, and we are keen to expand as a shipyard, fueled by the inspiring vision of our esteemed owners.”

As the installation of the two MTU 16V2000 engines approaches, the yacht draws closer to its completion, promising unparalleled performance and luxury on the seas with a maximum speed of 18 knots. Project Setteesettanta is poised to transition into the outfitting phase and is set to be launched in January 2026.
