HEESEN 50M ALUMINIUM YN 21150 PROJECT SOPHIA - Heesen Yachts FOR SALE

Sculpted, athletic lines define the exterior. Measuring 50 metres and under 500 GT, Sophia is an all‑aluminium, fast‑cruising luxury motor yacht powered by eco‑conscious propulsion. Heesen’s 50‑metre fast‑cruising superyacht platform is the first in its size class below 500 GT to satisfy IMO Tier III requirements. The flowing, dynamic profile by Omega Architects enhances Sophia’s performance character with crisp, refined detailing. An optimised, low‑resistance hull with a reduced transom depth permits a shallow shaft angle, ensuring a composed ride in lively conditions while inviting effortless exploration of skinny waters. This highly efficient performance yacht design serves both engineering prowess and adventure, making Sophia the ideal sport yacht for carefree island hopping as well as confident, extended passages.

A curvy, sporty exterior design.

At 50 metres and below 500 GT, Sophia is an all‑aluminium, fast‑cruising yacht powered by green ocean engines. Heesen’s 50‑metre fast‑cruising class is the first of its kind below 500 GT to comply with IMO Tier III regulations. A curvy, sporty exterior by Omega Architects amplifies Sophia’s performance and crisply defined lines. Heesen’s optimised, low‑drag hull with a reduced transom depth allows for a shallow shaft angle, keeping Sophia composed in rough seas yet perfectly suited to exploring shallow waters. This ultra‑efficient hull shape turns engineering into adventure, making her equally adept at carefree island hopping and stretching out over longer passages.

First impressions.

Sophia is the fourth sister in this impressive class, and first encounters are defined by purposeful elegance. Her elevated aft deck hosts a large whirlpool flanked by sunpads, reached via three gentle steps up. This subtle height change creates the volume for a full‑height, multi‑purpose tender garage‑cum‑luxury beach club on the lower deck, providing abundant headroom for effortless days at the water’s edge. Another signature is the downward‑pointing bow, which affords the bridge a clear line of sight to the water while accentuating Sophia’s long, sleek profile. “The whole superstructure is slightly curved giving her a more elegant aft end, while the use of wraparound glass and loose exterior furniture mean deck spaces have generous seating, but remain airy, light and well detailed,” explains Laupman.

Step aboard.

A sophisticated interior by acclaimed Italian designer Cristiano Gatto welcomes twelve guests in five staterooms. The master suite on the main deck forward is bright and airy, a serene retreat with horizon‑wide views, while the remaining suites on the lower deck are generously proportioned for unhurried comfort. Beyond, Sophia offers abundant outdoor spaces for owners, family, and friends to savour life at sea: the beach club draws everyone close to the on‑water action, the generous sun pad area on the main deck terrace invites post‑swim relaxation, and al‑fresco dining unfolds either on the bridge deck aft terrace or up on the spacious sundeck.
