Heesen Yachts is a Dutch ship building company that specialises in custom built superyachts. Founded in 1978, it has launched more than 170 yachts since its inception, many of which have won awards. It is considered one of the world leaders in the design, construction and engineering of all-aluminum yachts. The company was owned by Russian billionaire Vagit Alekperov through his Cyprus investment vehicle Morcell. On May 18, 2022, Alekperov transferred his shares to an independent Dutch foundation. Heesen Yachts was founded in 1978 by Frans Heesen, an entrepreneur who at the time was best known for his work in the plastics industry. Heesen purchased the Striker Boats shipyard site in the Netherlands as a potential home for another business, but decided to retain the property as a shipyard and continue its operations. One year following the purchase, Heesen launched the 20-metre (66 ft) Amigo, a luxury yacht that was the first to bear the Heesen name. More information...
