A fully custom statement

Heesen delivered Ann G in 2015 as a fully custom 49.6 metre motor yacht. She rides on a full-displacement steel hull engineered by the yard's in-house naval architects with Van Oossanen. The brief was individuality and craft, and every deck carries the owner's fingerprints. She was a finalist at the 2016 World Superyacht Awards for displacement yachts below 500 GT. That recognition confirmed the ambition behind the project. Judges responded to her craft and character.

Full-custom construction gave the owner freedom to pursue a strong design vision from keel to mast. The result is a boat with a clear identity all its own. On trials she exceeded her contracted speed and reached 15.6 knots. She is a considered yacht built for an owner who knew exactly what they wanted. Every detail was chosen with intent. The finished boat rewards that care in full.

Clifford Denn's refined lines

The owner appointed Clifford Denn to draw the exterior, and the studio delivered complex, refined lines that Heesen's aluminium craftsmen brought to life. The profile is elegant and detailed, rewarding a close look at the way the volumes resolve. It is a sophisticated shape that suits the jewel-like interior within. She stands apart from the yard's more familiar profiles. The detailing repays a slow, close look. Heesen's welders turned complex drawings into clean metal.

The deck layout balances entertaining space with quiet corners for the owner. Sun and shade are arranged for comfort across climates, and access to the water is easy. Every terrace was drawn for real use, not for effect. The exterior carries the same care as the rooms below. Sun and shade are balanced for comfort in any climate. Access to the water is direct and easy.

Deco heaven below decks

The interior is the work of Reymond Langton Design, appointed on the very day the studio opened its London office. Rich Macassar ebony sets the tone, accented with stainless steel details for a glamorous, deco feel. Backlit white onyx and soft leather add warmth and depth to the scheme. The overall effect has been described as deco heaven, and it earns the phrase. The materials were chosen for glamour and depth. Light plays across the onyx and ebony through the day.

The layout hosts guests in beautifully finished cabins with a generous owner's suite. The materials were chosen for richness and tactility, a rich, sensory interior. Every surface was resolved with jewellery-box precision. It is one of the most distinctive interiors in the Heesen fleet. The mood is glamorous without slipping into excess. Every space feels deliberate and personal.

Steel and craft

Ann G's full-displacement steel hull was created by Heesen's in-house team for range and a settled ride. The engineering favours comfort and reliability over outright speed, and she still beat her contract figure at 15.6 knots. The displacement platform suits the long, relaxed cruising her owner had in mind. She is as capable as she is beautiful. The displacement hull keeps her steady on a long passage. Comfort was never traded away for looks.

The build showcases Heesen's craft in both steel and the aluminium superstructure. The complex exterior detailing demanded real skill from the yard's welders and finishers. That craftsmanship is visible everywhere, inside and out. Ann G is a demonstration of what full-custom Heesen can achieve. The build set a high bar for the yard's craftsmen. Owners feel that ambition in every detail.

The owner it suits

Ann G suits the owner who wants a jewel of a yacht with a strong, individual character. The Reymond Langton interior appeals to buyers who love rich materials and a glamorous mood. Her full-custom origins and awards recognition give her genuine standing. She is a boat for someone who treats design as central, not incidental. Her look invites a second and a third glance. She rewards an owner with a strong aesthetic.

The 49.6 metre size keeps her manageable while still delivering full superyacht presence. She rewards an owner who cruises for the pleasure of the spaces as much as the destinations. For a design-driven buyer, few boats of the era have this much personality. Ann G is a collector's kind of yacht. Her character sets her apart from the era's more cautious designs. Owners who love design tend to fall for her quickly.

Who it is for: The design-driven owner who wants a jewel-like, fully custom yacht with a glamorous deco interior and award-shortlisted pedigree.
