Artisa

A bulbous bow is the detail that defines Artisa's engineering: it gives her hull smooth, safe cruising in all sea conditions. Heesen built her in 2017 to a design by Frank Laupman at Omega Architects, and a 2023 refit brought her up to date.

Build and provenance

She is a steel displacement motor yacht on a monohull, built at Heesen's own yard. Frank Laupman drew her at Omega Architects, giving Artisa a classic-contemporary style inside and out that carries through from the exterior lines to the interior finish.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across five cabins, with a crew of nine to run the yacht day to day.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,340 hp MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines give Artisa a 14-knot cruise and 17 knots at full power, figures that favour a steady, efficient passage over outright pace. Her beam of 8.5 metres and 499 gross tons of volume turn that efficiency into a stable, roomy platform.

Recent works

Her 2023 refit included her Lloyd's five-year special survey, the inspection a surveyor and an insurer look for at that milestone, so a buyer starts from a hull already checked rather than one still owing that work. She is described as in pristine condition following that survey, ready for a new owner.

On deck and at anchor

A jacuzzi sits on deck and the sun deck opens above it, with sunpads laid out for the hours between engines and anchor.

Where she lies and how to see her

Artisa lies in Hong Kong. We arrange a viewing there and come with you, and a survey and sea trial follow once an offer on her is accepted.
