BILMAR is a 43.90-metre custom motor yacht built by Heesen Yachts in the Netherlands and delivered in 2004. Created for an experienced yachtsman and retained by the same Owners since launch, she represents a compelling opportunity in the 40–45 metre market: Dutch-built pedigree, proven performance, generous volume and strong long-range capability in one highly versatile tri-deck platform.
Heesen is internationally recognised for Dutch craftsmanship, advanced aluminium construction and high-performance yachts, and BILMAR is a strong example of that heritage. With an aluminium hull and superstructure, teak decks, a beam of 8.50 metres and a maximum draft of 2.50 metres, she combines efficient engineering with substantial onboard comfort.
Performance is a key differentiator. BILMAR reaches a maximum speed of 28 knots and is capable of comfortable cruising at 23 knots, while also offering efficient passage-making at lower speeds, including transatlantic capability at 10 knots. She is powered by a twin-screw propulsion system, carries 74,000 litres of fuel and 16,000 litres of water, and offers a range of approximately 3,700 nautical miles. Her main engines underwent a W5 service in 2017, and larger new generators were fitted in 2020, further supporting her operational profile.
Her exterior design and naval architecture are by Heesen Yachts, with exterior lines by Omega Architects. The interior was designed by Veta Tsoukala, with significant artistic influence and guidance from the Owner, himself a renowned artist. The result is a yacht with strong visual character, practical guest flow and an atmosphere that feels both personal and refined.
BILMAR offers impressive accommodation for up to 12 guests, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck and five additional guest cabins on the lower deck—a rare layout for a yacht of this size. She also provides accommodation for up to seven crew, supporting a professional service experience on board.
Her interior volumes and exterior deck spaces are notably generous. The main salon, dining area and sky lounge are spacious and bright, while the sun deck offers a forward-facing sun pad area, seating beneath a fixed louvered shade and a Jacuzzi aft. The aft bridge deck is a natural focal point for guests, with a large dining table and comfortable sofas, while the main deck aft provides an inviting seating area ideal for time at anchor, particularly when the fold-out swim platform is deployed. A further seating area on the bow, forward of the bridge, adds another private space for guests to enjoy.
Privately registered in Class ABS, MCA compliant and VAT paid, BILMAR is a highly credible and attractive offering for buyers seeking a fast, capable and well-proven Heesen yacht with strong cruising credentials. She is available for inspection in Athens, Greece, and merits serious consideration from qualified clients looking for a distinctive and versatile motor yacht.
