The Heesen Project Cosmos has left the Dutch company’s shipyard in Oss. The 80m vessel which weighs 1,700GT vessel can reach a maximum of 30 knots. Because of this, it is the biggest and fastest all-aluminium yacht ever made.

The superyacht’s great size and high speed are what makes her so impressive. Due to a low-drag hull design based on Van Oossanen’s Fast Displacement Hull Form, and the skills of Heesen’s naval architects, this was achieved. The yacht is powered by traditional diesel propulsion, consisting of four engines, two gearboxes, variable-pitch propellers and innovative Promas rudders.

“Today, we are celebrating the launch of a unique yacht,” states Heesen CEO Arthur Brouwer. “Unique not only for our shipyard, as she is the largest we have ever taken on and represents the pinnacle of our achievements to date. Cosmos is also unique in the industry – the largest and fastest aluminium yacht in her class ever built.”

Winch Design has crafted a beautiful exterior, with clean lines, a sporty look and extensive use of glass creating a timeless profile. The light and calming interior design was penned by Sinot Yacht Design. A neutral palette, with accents of blue hues, help achieve a relaxing environment that helps guests feel immediately at home.

Project Cosmos will remain at Heesen following her launch for commissioning. She will undergo intense sea trials in the North Sea in February 2022 before an April 2022 delivery.
