Cinderella Noel IV // Heesen Yachts

Cinderella Noel IV is built on our established engineering platform as an intelligent custom yacht, ensuring exceptional performance. Even in rough weather conditions, she surpassed all expectations during three days of sea trials in the North Sea.

Collaborating closely with Heesen’s engineers and the Luca Dini Design and Architecture team, the owners have achieved their goal of constructing the perfect yacht for extended cruising in the Scandinavian archipelago and Norwegian fjords. This yacht offers unparalleled privacy and comfort for family and friends.

Stefan Zucker and Sven Stark, the clients’ surveyors and project managers, are astonished at the level of involvement and enthusiasm shown by the clients. They commend Heesen for successfully integrating the owners into the production process and milestones.

The shipyard acknowledges that what sets Cinderella Noel IV apart as an extraordinary yacht is its owners. The client is an accomplished yachtsman who captains the boat and has contributed practical and technical ideas based on his extensive sailing experience. Their meticulous attention to detail reflects their intention to spend much of their lives sailing on this boat. The shipyard considers it a golden opportunity to be involved in creating this unique Heesen yacht, given the owners’ deep knowledge and understanding of yacht operation.

Working on a well-established engineering ground enabled Heesen and his owners’ team to focus their efforts and attention on the finer details. It was the perfect springboard for them to create their dream machine with the right balance between quality, customization, and delivery time. To reduce the vessel’s environmental footprint, the owner has chosen a hybrid propulsion system that uses the latest 21st-century technologies. Heesen’s hybrid system offers insurmountable advantages over conventional diesel propulsion and will make Cinderella Noel IV cleaner, quieter, and more fuel-efficient than comparable traditional craft. The hybrid drivetrain can be used for propulsion and hotel needs, but hybrid systems focus on energy saving and emissions reduction in automotive engineering. Still, the benefits of hybrid propulsion at sea extend beyond that.

The yacht’s main engines are twin MTU 8 V4000 M63 ( IMO Tier III) water-cooled and mounted on a single propeller shaft. The silent cruising and minimal vibration significantly improve comfort levels on board and are especially attractive during night passages.
