akoya
Akoya is our fifth 50 metre semi-displacement aluminium yacht. Her sistership, Satori, is one of the most highly rated of her size, winning the prestigious Neptune Trophy at the World Superyacht Awards.
SISTERSHIP
Heesen designs and builds the most efficient aluminium hull-forms in the world. Innovative naval architecture provides an impressive reduction in the power needed to achieve a given speed. Less power required means less fuel – a virtuous circle that is just one of the advantages of Heesen technology. The latest engines powering a streamlined shape above and below the water result in a yacht with a top speed of 23 knots and a range of over 3.100 nautical miles.
SISTERSHIP
With a highly distinctive curved superstructure from sea level to sun deck, Akoya combines sleek minimalism with advanced technology. Continuous sheets of laminated triple glazing thermo bonded to the superstructure on the main deck create a dynamic wall of seamless windows that complement the yacht’s flowing lines.
Four clearly defined deck areas provide space for every occasion. A foredeck for secluded relaxation and a vast 70 square metre sun deck that is impressive in both style and proportion. Shaded dining is on the upper deck while the multifunctional main deck terrace combines with the saloon to create an impressive 25 square metre entertaining space.

SKY LOUNGE
Space has been optimised throughout: the highest possible internal volume under the 500GT threshold. Heesen ingenuity always delivers on performance without any compromise in comfort, space and style.
MAIN SALOON
Interiors are by the acclaimed Italian designer Cristiano Gatto. Three materials have been selected for all interior surfaces: teak, stainless steel and leather. Furniture and other details are custom-made. The combination of supple leathers contrasting against the elegant shine of stainless steel detailing is highly contemporary Italian design at its very best.
MAIN SALOON
The main saloon and sky lounge feature Gatto’s reinterpretation of Art Deco with the use of asymmetrical lines and 1930s inspired furniture. The richness of the interior is heightened by the use of both soft white lacquered panels and natural teak that has been oiled and honed to reflect the quality of the veneer. Red Rosso Bulgaro saddle leather detailed with thick stitching adorns the cupboards, wall panelling and key items of bespoke furniture. The passing of time will only serve to give warmth and character to the look and feel of this indulgent leather.
MASTER SUITE
MASTER SUITE
The master suite is set forward on the main deck. The use of polished Cappuccino marble in the bathroom perfectly matches the soft colour scheme of the carpets, walls and ceilings throughout the yacht. Heesen has perfected the art of including heavyweight marble without impacting on the yacht’s performance. Using a technique that demands tremendous precision the stone is honed to a thickness of just 4mm. As light as a feather, as strong as steel.
GUEST CABIN
Twelve guests sleep in six suites with a design style that continues the overall concept of teak detailing, concentric patterns and red leather panelling. Additional suites are all on the lower deck and include a full-beam VIP with a very large ensuite bathroom, two double and two twin cabins.
