HEESEN YACHTS_ 83M MAXIMUS
[ WIP ]
L
ong, low, sleek and slender, Clifford Denn’s revolutionary new 83-metre
concept for Heesen is Maximus by name and nature. Denn drew on his background designing passenger vessels for Cunard (QM2), P&O and Viking Ocean Cruise to put the owner experience centre stage. Both interior and exterior volumes have been brilliantly distributed to create the seductive Maximus shape. The private exterior deck stretches the entire length of the yacht and is entirely available to owner and guests. A near-plumb bow stretches the length along the waterline, for more interior space and volume forward. This in turn frees up deck space aft for a beautifully-stepped pool with waterfalls and a swim platform. The Maximus concept is flexible and has plenty of Heesen trademarks as well as being very hydrodynamically efficient indeed. There will be accommodations for five guests in addition to the owner thanks to two VIPs and one guest cabin as well as a spectacular owner’s suite. Although the Maximus has similar internal volumes to a conventional 83-metre, it genuinely excels in terms of its al fresco deck areas and, of course, that vast and striking swimming pool.
