Heesen has launched the MY Cinderella Noel V, a ship that combines maritime expertise with technological advances. The 50-meter, round-bilge, steel motor yacht is an example of Heesen’s ‘Smart Custom’ offering, where clients can add their own creativity and personal flair to Heesen’s solid foundations and proven engineering platform. It is a ‘best of both worlds’ approach, allowing for dynamism and client-specific adaptation without having to reinvent the wheel.
Heesen’s award-winning steel 50-meter series was transformed into a bespoke vessel integrating quality, customization and efficient delivery. The result is a floating work of art that reflects the owners’ unique yachting knowledge and experience.
“We had a terrific experience with the clients and the shipyard,” commented Stefan Zucker of owners’ representatives ZUCKER & PARTNER. “Heesen’s ‘Smart Custom’ solution represented the perfect starting point for an experienced yachtsman to concentrate on the important details for him and his family. Cinderella Noel IV is a testament to Heesen’s intelligent approach, allowing this family to create their dream machine with the certainty of a result which would have taken considerably more time and cost to build individually without being sufficiently tested.”
The MY Cinderella Noel IV’s christening took place during the winter holidays, with owners, their families, friends, and Heesen team members in attendance. It marked the start of a brand new era for luxury yachting.
Designer of the award-winning Clifford Denn, the yacht successfully brings to life the owners’ vision. Each detail reflects the owners’ lifestyle, tastes, and intended usage. Each detail was carefully thought out, including the glass-bottomed swimming pool and outdoor firepit. The owner also requested an elevated standard for the ship’s crew, whose dedicated area now features a separate outdoor deck, heated floors, winter tents, and mosquito nets.
The owner’s passion for navigating the open seas led to the incorporation of a second steering position on the fly, creating a seamless transition from the flybridge to the wheelhouse. The yacht also boasts a hybrid propulsion system, a groundbreaking feature for Heesen that further underscores the yard’s commitment to innovation. Additionally, a foldable mast facilitates passage under bridges, and channel navigation lights ensure safe canal and lock passages, showcasing the vessel’s adaptability to diverse maritime environments.
Working closely together Luca Dini Design & Architecture, the owners tailored the layout for extended stays, incorporating “his and her” working spaces. Sliding partitions are versatile, adding privacy or openness to the space depending on what is needed.
“This project has been a unique experience, driven by the owner’s passion and the shipyard’s expertise, with every detail analyzed and agreed with the clients,” said Silvia Margutti of Luca Dini Design and Architecture. “This ‘Smart Custom’ build confirmed Heesen’s ability to achieve excellent results and nurture a close relationship with clients to fulfill their special requests.”
The interior, which is a Scandinavian-chic version of refined luxury and both sophisticated and relaxing, has a Scandinavian chic feel. The white, taupe and greige soft furnishings harmonize well with the high gloss Indian rosewood flooring and dark oak. Deep blue and musk-green accents punctuate the space, reflecting the yacht’s design to navigate northern latitudes. Foglizzo Atelier Decorative leather panels depicting old sea charts are crafted to add an element of history to your onboard experience.
Mark Cavendish, Heesen’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented, “Cinderella Noel IV is imbued in every detail with the owners’ passion and experience. It is amazing how much energy the owners have invested in creating a yacht to suit their lifestyle. They carefully considered every choice and worked closely with our team of experts to find the most intelligent solutions.”
Delivery is scheduled for March 2024. MY Cinderella Noel V demonstrates Heesen‘s commitment to customer service, showcasing their ability to turn dreams into maritime reality. With its flawless blend of technology, design, and personalized touches, Cinderella Noel IV’s example of ‘Smart Custom’ yachting invites seafarers to embark on unforgettable journeys to explore the open waters, on their terms.
