Heesen introduces the 72m Project Ananda hybrid flagship

🌊 A New Era for Heesen Yachts

On June 18, 2026, Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts announced their most ambitious build to date: the 72.3-meter Project Ananda. Built on their innovative “Smart Custom” platform, this steel-hulled vessel integrates a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) with advanced hybrid propulsion, setting a new benchmark for sustainable yachting.

Design and Engineering

  • Collaborators: Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Exterior & Interior).
  • Timeline: Keel laying scheduled for November 2026.
  • Power: Twin MTU 12V 4000 M65L engines reaching 17 knots.

💎 Luxury Meets Efficiency

The vessel boasts a massive 1700 GT volume. With a beam of 11.80 meters, it features expansive guest areas, including a sprawling beach club. The hybrid system ensures silent, eco-conscious cruising for 12 guests across 6 cabins, supported by 17 crew members.
