Heesen is thrilled to announce that the brand new motor yacht Asya (YN 16947)was handed over to her owners on March 3, 2015. Launched in December 2014, superyacht Asya represents the second vessel in the restyled 47m class, a breed of yachts whose exterior design by the talented Frank Laupman of Omega Architects mixes up elegant traditional lines with contemporary flair, a marriage emphasised by the continuous glass windows and matching black paintwork on the main deck as well as upper decks.

The restyling includes a significant improvement in the housing of the rescue tender in an enclosed bay in front of the wheelhouse, a remarkable achievement considering the yacht is under the 500GT threshold. This additional touch of grace means the lines of the forward section of the iconic yacht now looks smooth and clean. Another important design change concerns the crew accommodation, which complies with LY3 regulations.

Simplicity as the ultimate form of sophistication is the guiding principle of luxury yacht Asya’s interior design. Her sophisticated interior from the London-based and award-winning studio Bannenberg & Rowell has a distinctly Far Eastern, restful feel, inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando.

The sea trials took place in the North Sea on February 12 and 13 in relatively calm conditions, with average wave heights of 0.5m and south-easterly winds from 4 to 16 knots max.

Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, super yacht Asya’s well-engineered steel hull with bulbous bow provided smooth passage and exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
