HEESEN 50M ALUMINIUM FAST
Introducing Sophia: The Epitome of Elegance and Performance
A Curvy, Sporty Exterior Design
Meet Sophia, a masterpiece of nautical engineering and design. Measuring in at a sleek 50 meters and below 500 GT, this all-aluminium, fast-cruising yacht is powered by cutting-edge green ocean engines and a gem by Heesen Yachts, Holland.
Pioneering Compliance and Design
Heesen’s 50-metre fast-cruising class sets a new standard as the first of its kind below 500 GT to comply with IMO Tier-III regulations. The brilliant minds at Omega Architects have crafted a curvy, sporty exterior that perfectly complements Sophia’s high-performance capabilities and crisp, modern design features.
Engineered for Comfort and Adventure
Sophia isn’t just about striking looks; she’s built for the high seas with Heesen’s optimized, low-drag hull design. A reduced transom depth allows for a shallow shaft angle, making Sophia remarkably comfortable in rough seas yet perfectly suited for cruising shallow waters.
The Ultimate in Efficiency and Versatility
The ultra-efficient hull shape delivers both exceptional engineering and a spirit of adventure, making Sophia ideal for everything from island hopping to longer, more ambitious passages.
Embark on your next great adventure with Sophia—where elegance meets performance on the open ocean.
First Impressions
Sophia is the fourth sister ship in this incredible class. Her elevated aft deck boasts spacious sunpads, accessible via three graceful steps. This design marvel allows for a full-height, multi-purpose tender garage-turned-luxury beach club on the lower deck, offering ample headroom. Adding to her charm is a downward-pointing bow, providing an excellent line of sight to the water from the bridge and accentuating Sophia’s sleek, elongated profile.
“The entire superstructure is slightly curved, giving her a more elegant aft end. The use of wrap-around glass and loose exterior furniture ensures that deck spaces are generously seated yet remain airy, light, and beautifully detailed,” explains Laupman.
Step Aboard
A sophisticated interior by acclaimed Italian designer Cristiano Gatto welcomes twelve guests in five lavish staterooms.
The master suite, located on the main deck forward, is bright and airy. The remaining spacious suites are situated on the lower deck, offering comfort and privacy. Sophia also provides ample outdoor spaces for her owners, family, and friends to enjoy life at sea. The beach club brings them close to the on-water action, while the generous sun pad area on the main deck terrace is perfect for post-swim relaxation. Al-fresco dining can take place either on the bridge deck aft terrace or up on the expansive sundeck.
