PERFORMANCE
Santosha is not just a work of art but also a high-performance vessel that delivers . The Heesen 57-metre features a full aluminium hull , an iteration of the ultra-efficient FDHD devised by Dutch hydrodynamicists van Oossanen Naval architects .
The hull has been perfectly engineered by Heesen ’ s in-house team and crafted by the shipyard ’ s highly skilled welders . Two MTU 16V 4000 M65L ( IMO Tier III ) engines propel the yacht up to 22 knots and deliver a transatlantic range of 3,900Nm at 13 knots . A draft of just 2.3 metres makes her an ideal platform from which to explore the turquoise shallows of the Bahamas .
Heesen ’ s CCO Mark Cavendish comments : “ Santosha is a yacht designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life , combining elegance with practicality and meticulous attention to detail with a relaxed ambience . It stands as a true testament to Heesen Yachts ’ commitment to excellence and innovation in yacht building .”
