| Heesen 154 |  |
The 129th vessel launched by Heesen, Sirocco is
distinguished by a custom interior décor using natural materials such as stone,
leather and Makassar wood to create an African feel. Omega Architects created
both exterior and interior designs for the semidisplacement aluminum motor
yacht. She is the first vessel to showcase Heesen’s new vertical pilothouse
windows.
Although Sirocco measures 47 meters (154 feet) overall,
she is also the prototype for the Dutch shipyard’s "50 Under 500 Series." This
new series, scheduled to debut in 2008, offers owners all the comforts of a
50-meter motor yacht in a vessel displacing just under the 500 gross tonnage
that would place it in a stricter regulatory category.
Sirocco accommodates 12 guests, served by
a crew of nine. Highlights of her design include an owner’s suite on the
wheelhouse deck with access to the balcony. A gym is located on the sun deck,
which remains uncluttered thanks to Heesen’s signature tender garage. Twin
16V4000 MTU engines give Sirocco a top speed of 24 knots.
