The journey of this exceptional 30.66-metre motor yacht is a narrative we at Heesen are particularly proud of. It speaks volumes about the trust placed in our name when her second owner acquired her sight unseen, a decision driven solely by the reputation of Heesen and the unique provenance of the vessel – originally built by our founder, Frans Heesen, for a dear friend. This intrinsic faith in our craftsmanship is something we deeply value.
Following her acquisition, the yacht underwent a significant refit and became VERSE. This process was overseen by an acclaimed designer who is a close friend of the owner. The aim was to sensitively enhance her inherent qualities, transforming her into a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece that respectfully built upon her Heesen DNA. This dedication to personalised excellence is a hallmark of the yachts that leave our Oss shipyard.
One of the most inspired transformations was the redesign of the forward superstructure. By innovatively removing the traditional walkarounds to the foredeck, we created a wide-body superstructure. This featured distinctive vertical forward windows and an elliptical top view, which beautifully complemented the original character of the wheelhouse. Internally, this allowed for a more generously appointed owner’s suite, a key feature of VERSE’s enhanced comfort.
