Heesen Triton 50M

A private study leads into a full-beam bedroom on the main deck: the owner's stateroom aboard the Heesen Triton 50M sits a deck above the four guest cabins, a separation that matters on a yacht where the whole family and their friends are living together for a week at a stretch. Heesen completed her in 2024, a steel-hulled displacement yacht built in the Netherlands.

Build and provenance

She is built on Heesen's established engineering base, a steel-hulled monohull with a displacement profile rather than a planing one, 50 metres long and 164 feet, with a beam of 9 metres and a draft of 2.8 metres. Clifford Denn drew her exterior lines and Reymond Langton Design fitted out the interior, the kind of pairing that shapes both how she looks at anchor and how she feels to walk through below.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep in five cabins: the owner's suite on the main deck and four further guest cabins on the deck below, each fitted for comfort rather than for volume. A crew of nine for ten guests is close to one for one, the kind of ratio that keeps service unhurried even with every cabin full.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines, each rated at 1,000 kW, give her a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 15 knots: the numbers of a displacement hull built to cover distance rather than to plane across it.

On deck and at anchor

Moving the tenders forward to the bow opened up space aft for a full beach club, complete with a sauna, a bar and a swim platform that puts the sea at guests' feet. Up on the sun deck a jacuzzi and space for alfresco dining make the top deck the place for the view, while a part-enclosed sky lounge gives everyone somewhere to retreat from sun or wind without going below.

Where she lies and how to see her

The Netherlands is where the Heesen Triton 50M lies today. A viewing is arranged by Boatcrowd, who also attends it with you; once a buyer's offer is accepted, a surveyor and a sea trial are the next steps before she changes hands.
