Heeus

A steam room, a jacuzzi and an outdoor cinema sit alongside a steel hull built for open water, and that combination is what defines life aboard Heeus. Bering delivered her in 2023 as part of the 145 series, a 44-metre explorer for owners who want distance and comfort in the same yacht, and she lies now in Cannes.

Build and provenance

She is a full-displacement steel monohull, 44 metres long with a 9.7-metre beam and 499 gross tonnes, and her aluminium superstructure sits above a hull reinforced for high-latitude conditions, styled with SABDES Design. That extra steel means a passage through colder or rougher water sits well within her design brief. For a buyer, that construction is the difference between a yacht built to cross oceans and one built to sit at a marina between short hops.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins aboard Heeus, looked after by a crew of nine, a high number for a yacht her size that points to full, attentive service rather than a lean weekend crew. The scale below decks matches the exploring brief above deck: room for a family to spread out over weeks, not just a long weekend.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,200 hp Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines give her a 10-knot cruise and a 15-knot top speed, a pace built for range and sea-keeping rather than outright speed, matching a hull meant to cross rather than dash between anchorages. Stabilisers work both at anchor and under way, keeping the ride steady whether she is moving or moored for the night.

On deck and at anchor

At anchor, life centres on the jacuzzi on deck, the swimming platform, and a steam room below for evenings after the water. Wifi, satellite television, air conditioning and Starlink keep guests connected far from shore, and an outdoor cinema, bow and stern thrusters, a tender garage, underwater lights and a crane round out the equipment for a long stay aboard.

Where she lies and how to see her

Heeus lies in Cannes, France. A viewing there is arranged and attended by Boatcrowd from start to finish, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, we bring in a surveyor and organise the sea trial before anything else moves forward. She is also part of our charter fleet, with her own page carrying her rates and calendar, so a buyer who wants a week aboard before deciding can have one.
