Heesen is thrilled to announce that Project Triton, the second in the 50-metre Steel Class left the outfitting shed in preparation for sea trials in the North Sea.

At 50 metres, Project Triton is a true blue water motor yacht with a traditional full-displacement steel hull below the 500GT threshold. Designed and engineered by Heesen’s in-house team of experts, Triton is built according to the highest Dutch quality standards.

Defined by a flared and bulbous bow, and an easily driven hull form, she glides through water with ease. Powered by twin MTU 8V4000 M63 engines she will reach a top speed of 15 knots and have a transoceanic range of 3,800 nautical miles at the cruising speed of 12 knots.
