With over 40 years of experience, Heesen able to build the aluminum body, satisfying extremely high standards. The shipyard managed to create a very streamlined semi-displacement yacht, which is powered by two MTU 16V 4000 engines. They provide not only high speed but also the efficiency and smooth running in all conditions.

Aster — a real ocean-going yacht with a transatlantic range of 3,100 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots.

Boat perfectly blends excellent driving performance, comfort, space and refined luxury. Exterior lines embody the Heesen DNA: the forward part curved in the form of the beak of a Pelican, reverse sheer of the deck and the mast sports impart incredible originality.

The interior design of the Aster can be described as: timeless. There is an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. The decoration used a wide range of materials. On the one hand, Cristiano Gatto (Cristiano Gatto) deliberately avoided the excessive decorations of interior decoration, on the other hand the interior is not alien to the spirit of wealth and luxury. It is obvious that in such an elegant design Gatto reflected the principle “perfection in simplicity”.

Note that this is already the third boat from Heesen, the finder of the owner for the current year.
