Brand New Super Yachts: VENTURA by Heesen

Heesen has just announced the launch of the 50m super yacht VENTURA, which will be the third in the all aluminium range.
She is the sister ship to Satori and YN 15850, featuring exterior lines by Frank Laupman from Omega Architects. The layout on board VENTURA is completely different to her sister yachts, with the owners opting for two suites. The master suite is extremely romantic with panoramic 280 degree views on the bridge deck aft, with the second suite facing forward on the main deck.

She has a custom-made dark metallic grey hull and a light metallic grey superstructure. The bespoke colour scheme is designed to give VENTURA an elegant and distinctive look compared to her rivals. She will have accommodation for up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, comprising the two master suites, a full-beam VIP cabin, one twin and two double cabins. Interior designer Francesco Paszkowski, who created her minimalistic interior décor, commented: “I’m extremely proud to work with such an important and efficient shipyard, which I have had the honour of working with a longtime ago.” Paszkowski, whose first project for Heesen was in 1996, compared working on VENTURA as a dream becoming reality. “I’m also very happy to hand over the Italian design and the experience of our team abroad, for the excellent relationship established with the shipyard and the ideas we could share,” he said. Interior features include a patterned, polished, ebony parquet floor, which contrasts with whitened oak paneling to create a lavish and chic environment. She also has controlled ambient lighting, with every area of the yacht adapted to suit the mood and atmosphere required. Throughout the yacht the designer has created focal points and niches for the owner’s artworks and sculptures.

Her 70 square metre sundeck is another one of her striking features. It was designed as a massive open-plan space where furniture can be removed, so that luxurious events and soirees can be held. VENTURA has three further outdoor areas, including al fresco dining options on the main deck and bridge deck aft. She will be delivered to her owners after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.

AZZAM – The New Largest Luxury Yacht in the World!

Roman Abramovich no longer owns the largest luxury yacht in the world! He has held this title for over three years since the launch of ECLIPSE – the 536ft goliath that has been prowling the world’s oceans with impunity. However now a new contender has come onto the scene and has smashed the record for the largest luxury yacht sailing today. She is called AZZAM and at a whopping 590ft long she blows ECLIPSE out of the water. Meaning ‘dedication’ in Arabic she has pushed boundaries in an industry that many thought had plateaued in terms of the length and luxury of the yachts.

Peter Lürssen, a Managing Partner of Lürssen proudly proclaimed: “When she will be delivered later this year, she will have been in build for only three years following one year of engineering.” He goes on to add, “She truly represents another milestone in not only our history but yachting history as well.”

Much of this building of AZZAM has been shrouded in mystery – it is reported that she is to be delivered to a Arabian owner in the autumn after completing her sea trials. Names such as Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, a member of the Saudi Royal family and Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates have been put forward as potential recipients of this magnificent yacht but nothing is as yet confirmed.

It was designed by Nauta Yachts and constructed in Bremen by Lurssen under the watchful eye of lead engineer Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi. Although we know the interior was designed by Christophe Leoni, little else is know about the inside of this luxury yacht. However she is likely to have many of the extraordinary features that ECLPISE has – bullet proof glass, armor plated suites, swimming pools, helicopter pads, cinemas, submarines and a fantastic array of water toys to name just a few! However what we do know about the yacht is enough to say with certainty that this is one of the most fantastic luxury super yachtsdesigned to date. Not only is AZZAM the largest luxury super yacht in the world but with 94,000 horse power behind her she is also capable of cruising at speeds of over 30 knots – 5 quicker than ECLIPSE despite being 500GT heavier! Combining this with a permanent crew of 50 you will be one of the most pampered and privileged guests to ever cruise the oceans!

At www.boatbookings.com, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.
