The latest addition to the 55-metre Steel Class, Apollo was begun as a speculative venture by the shipyard, which will allow her future owner to take possession on a much shorter lead time than a conventional new-build. Heesen is the only Northern European yard to offer a 55-metre steel-hulled yacht on these terms.
This class is popular not only for the excellent fuel efficiency delivered by the Fast Displacement Hull Form, but also for comfort, seaworthiness, and stability in all sea conditions, thanks to its sturdy steel hull.
“Our 55-metre Steel is a unique and very competitive design,” commented Friso Visser, Heesen CCO. “We believe in this proven design platform and have worked with Omega and Luca Dini on creating a yacht that meets the refined tastes of clients who appreciate Dutch quality with a shortened delivery time.”
Apollo’s unmatched combination of comfort, efficiency and style underpins the great success of Heesen’s 55-metre platform. She might be the latest member of the class, but she’s also the first of many more.
