Following extensive sea trials in the North Sea, Dutch shipyard Heesen has delivered the 60.4-metre superyacht Lusine. She is the largest steel-hulled vessel to leave the shipyard to date, having been built under the codename Project Falcon.
Project Falcon, with a 1,060GT interior, was Heesen’s largest yacht overall by gross tonnage when it was sold in February 2018. She was eventually surpassed by the 80-meter aluminum superyacht Galactica, which is still under construction.
During sea trials, Lusine achieved her contracted top speed of 17.7 knots, delivered by two MTU 12V 4000 M65L diesel engines. At a speed of 13 knots she has a range of 4,200 nautical miles and is equipped with full tropical air conditioning.
Captain Varun, who previously sailed Heesen Asya, told in an interview: “Lusine is sturdy and gives me great confidence. We tested her in sea state five with winds up to 30 knots, and she behaved very well. It is a great privilege to be captain of a custom yacht with such a pedigree. I look forward to sailing her on the high seas.”
The interior design was handed over to the Dutch studio Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design and is equipped with rare woods, precious fabrics and exquisite leathers throughout in what the shipyard has described as “one of the most complex interiors ever crafted” by its in-house team.
A vessel that shows power and resistance while looking flawlessly sharp!
