Speed at 60 metres

Heesen launched Ultra G in January 2023 as its first delivery of the year, a boat built for pace on an unusual scale. Known in build as Project Skyfall, she is 60 metres of all-aluminium construction over the Van Oossanen Fast Displacement Hull Form. She was delivered to her owner in March 2023 following a sale during the build. Few 60 metre yachts are conceived around speed the way she is. The whole engineering package was built around performance. She stands apart from the yard's more conventional deliveries.

The choice of aluminium was deliberate, keeping weight down so the power package could do its work. The result is a large yacht with the responsiveness of something far smaller. For an owner, that means the ability to cover distance quickly and chase good weather at will. Ultra G is a genuinely fast flagship. The pace is usable in real cruising, not just on trials. Owners can outrun weather and reach the next bay before dark.

Omega's fast profile

Frank Laupman's Omega Architects gave Ultra G an exterior that matches her performance. The profile is sleek and purposeful, a shape that looks quick even at the dock. Long glazing and a taut superstructure keep her modern and lean. She signals her intent clearly on the water. The stance is low and unmistakably quick. She looks fast even tied to the dock.

The deck layout balances high-speed capability with comfortable entertaining space. Sun and shade are arranged across her levels with easy access to the water. Tender and toy stowage keeps the beach zone clear. The exterior serves both the thrill of the passage and the ease of the anchorage. Guests find comfortable spaces the moment she slows down. The decks work as well at rest as at speed.

A 60 metre that touched 37 knots, speed wrapped in Harrison Eidsgaard calm.

Harrison Eidsgaard within

The interior is the work of British studio Harrison Eidsgaard, whose scheme brings calm and craft to a boat built for speed. The rooms are contemporary and refined, a considered counterpoint to the power below. Materials and detailing reward a close look, and the flow between spaces is easy. The interior keeps the yacht as pleasant at anchor as it is thrilling under way. The calm palette settles the mood after a fast passage. Craft and comfort run through every room.

The layout hosts guests in generous, well-finished accommodation with a prominent owner's suite. Social spaces are bright and open, keeping the sea in view. The finish quality reflects the Heesen and Harrison Eidsgaard pairing. It is a serene home that belies the performance on tap. Guests relax the moment she settles at anchor. The calm inside makes the speed feel effortless.

Four jets, 37 knots

The engineering is the headline. Ultra G carries a propulsion package totalling 22,000 hp driving four water jets, which pushed her to 37 knots in light load on trials. That makes her one of the fastest yachts of her size afloat. The lightweight aluminium Fast Displacement hull is the foundation that makes such speed practical. Weight was managed carefully so the power could work. The result is pace that stays controllable.

To keep that pace comfortable, she is fitted with course fins, gyro stabilisers and interceptor trim plates. The systems keep her steady and controlled at high speed and calm at rest. The result is performance that stays usable in everyday cruising. Ultra G delivers real speed with composure. The ride stays controlled even when she is pushed hard. That composure is what makes the performance genuinely usable.

The owner it suits

Ultra G suits the owner who refuses to choose between size and speed. She is a 60 metre with the pace to reposition in hours and the refinement to relax in afterward. The Harrison Eidsgaard interior appeals to buyers who want calm to balance the adrenaline. She is a boat for someone who values the passage as much as the destination. The speed turns long hops into short ones. Owners reach the next anchorage with the day still ahead.

She also rewards an owner who wants a headline-grabbing yacht with genuine engineering behind the numbers. The all-aluminium build and jet propulsion give her a character all her own. For a buyer who wants the fastest kind of large yacht, few boats match her. Ultra G is a thoroughbred at flagship scale. She suits an owner who wants pace without giving up refinement. Nothing else at 60 metres quite matches her character.

Who it is for: The owner who wants a 60 metre with genuine 37 knot speed and a refined Harrison Eidsgaard interior to relax in at anchor.
