2022 the year of the Water Tiger: what’s in store for Heesen

2021 was an exceptional year, and in spite of the challenges COVID-19 continues to inflict, we delivered four yachts and sold another five. As always at Heesen, we are anticipating the Chinese New Year with great enthusiasm and expect 2022, the year of the Water Tiger, to be another intense and exciting one.

In the Chinese horoscope, the Water Tiger is known for its strong moral compass and belief system, and for its bravery and ability to learn. Since the pandemic hit, we learned how resilient and dedicated our workforce and the extended Heesen family are. We count on our 1,000 highly specialised workers and subcontractors to keep up with the very many yachts we have to deliver to our clients, including large custom projects such as the 60-metre Falcon and the mighty, 80-metre Cosmos . With no fewer than 14 yachts under construction, our order book takes us through to 2025.

Thanks to our financial stability, we have a bold speculative yacht-building programme in the 50- to 57-metre range, making Heesen the perfect port of call for wealthy clients who have no time to waste. In the new realities imposed by the pandemic, yachts have proved to be the ultimate haven to escape to, and more than ever, time is of the essence. This ability to offer customers shorter wait times for new-build yachts has proved an important asset for our commercial department.
