Asya is the second vessel from Heesen’s 47-meter series, a breed of yachts whose exterior design by the talented Frank Laupman of Omega Architects combines elegant traditional lines with contemporary flair, a marriage emphasised by the continuous glass windows and matching black paintwork on the main deck and upper decks. London-based studio Bannenberg & Rowell undertook Asya’s sophisticated interior design, and were reportedly inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando.

This luxury yacht is also fitted with ‘zero speed stabilizers’ which work at anchor, increasing on-board comfort when the yacht is stationary, particularly in rough waters.
Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, M/Y ASYA’s well-engineered full displacement steel hull with bulbous bow provided smooth passage and exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
