Heesen Yachts recently announced that it delivered its 55-meter motor yacht, Azamanta, to her owner on July 10, 2015. The company conducted sea trials for Azamanta in the North Sea on June 17 and 18. Having passed intensive tests, she is ready to explore the world with her owner. The tests show that Azamanta can reach a top speed of 16.9 knots (0.4 knots higher than the contractual speed). She can travel at 15 knots with as little as 1650kW of power, qualifying her as an extremely efficient vessel.
Azamanta embodies several new achievements for Heesen Yachts. She is one of the company's first yachts to include vertical windows that let more light reach interior areas. Heesen included a shark tooth exterior design that gives Azamanta a unique personality. Currently, she is the world's only fast displacement, steel-hulled yacht exceeding 50 meters in length.
