DAMEN SEAXPLORER 75: NEW RENDERINGS REVEALED

Intertwining sophistication with adventure, Damen’s SeaXplorer 75 will have thrill seekers clamoring to get aboard.

HEESEN YACHTS ACHIEVES THE UNIMAGINABLE

Heesen, never a shipyard to step down from a challenge, has unveiled its new project, Cosmos. After a buyer’s rep approached the Dutch company with the idea of unimaginable speeds, Heesen’s engineers got down to business with creating and executing plans for a sleek superyacht, or perhaps more appropriately, a gigayacht. The aluminum vessel with four MTU diesel engines capable of reaching up to 29 knots will be blowing other yachts out of the water. Dutch yacht interior design firm Sinot incorporated naturalistic elements, plus a striking, central spiral staircase wrapped around an all-glass elevator that glides up and down all four floors. Guests will enjoy style and comfort in four cabins, a VIP stateroom, and a master suite. Other features include a 3,000 sq. ft. deck, which can be transformed into a helideck, and a glass-bottom swimming pool. The plans are slowly becoming a reality, with the first sales this past March anda delivery date of April 2022.
