Heesen Yachts offers a first look inside its 50-meter Project Orion, YN 20750 that belongs to advanced 50-metre FDHF aluminium series. The ultra-;uzury vessel features exterior by Omega, and interior designed by Cristiano Gatto Design.
Cristiano Gatto and his team have been working with the shipyard’s engineers to create an interior that reflects and complements the progressive exterior lines, capitalizing on the floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks. Every aspect of the yacht’s interior was evaluated from every angle to utilize Orion’s 499 GT internal volume.
Materials and furniture construction are engineered to reduce weight, ease installation and streamline the maintenance of concealed equipment – a process that benefits from the long-standing relationship between the Italian designer and the shipyard’s interior engineers.
Heesen Yachts Interiors’ artisans and craftspeople take care of all aspects of the internal construction and finish, which involves more than 37 different materials, including high gloss woods, woven leather, marbles and custom carpets.
Project Orion is fitted with hybrid power systems that will deliver both a silent cruising capability and flexible power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Lightweight aluminum, precision-welded to the highest tolerances with meticulous weight control by Heesen’s in-house team, together with an ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form, allow a compact machinery package to deliver optimum propulsion efficiency throughout the speed range. Two MTU 12V 2000 M61 (IMO III) of just 600kW each will offer a top speed of 16.3 knots, while at 12 knots Orion will consume just 98 liters per hour, excluding hotel load. At ten knots in hybrid mode, fuel consumption falls to just 45 litres per hour.
Available for sale, Project Orion is currently under construction. The yacht is expected to be delivered in February 2025.
