Alive, the foil-equipped superyacht

Share it on

From day one, Heesen has pursued a consistent mission: to create yachts with exceptional engineering standards and meticulous attention to detail.

The yacht features a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure while Alive’s bold exterior lines were created by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, who is also responsible for its interior design.

Featuring foils installed under the water’s surface, Alive represents a significant performance advance. The underwater wing uses the waves to produce energy; This combined with the hull and diesel engines produce above-average results. The yacht has a top speed of 16.00 knots and a cruising speed of 12.00 knots. It is powered by a dual screw propulsion system

Alive can accommodate up to twelve guests in outdoor and indoor convivial areas. The 45-square-meter sun deck is perfect for relaxing throughout the day. The yacht boasts two large suites: the first traditionally located on the main deck towards the bow and the second on the bridge of the wheelhouse. The latter is a spectacular circular room with a centered king size bed, private bathroom, dressing room and gym. The central positioning of the bed allows for stunning and uninterrupted views of the sea thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The 30-square-metre aft terrace is equipped with a breakfast table and a seat, completing the functionality of the owner’s deck.
