Heesen Yachts has refined the fast, seaworthy motor yacht through more than 40 years of continuous production at their Oss yard in the Netherlands. Six Heesen yachts are available for charter across the Greater Antilles, spanning the 35 to 55 metre range, combining semi-displacement hulls engineered for ocean passages with interior designs drawn by leading European studios. The selection covers a broad range of styles, from the more classic early Heesen output to the most contemporary current-generation vessels.nnHeesen’s consistent quality across decades of production means that even an older example from the fleet carries the structural integrity and systems reliability that guests at this level require. The newer Heesen vessels in the Greater Antilles incorporate stabilisation systems, beach clubs, and exterior architecture that reflects the current direction of European superyacht design. Both generations offer a genuinely strong charter platform for the Caribbean island circuit.nnWeekly rates for Heesen charters in the Greater Antilles range from approximately 85,000 euros for a 35 metre model to 260,000 euros for the largest 55 metre examples. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent. The November to April Greater Antilles season represents peak demand, and the most popular Heesen vessels in the region book 6 to 9 months in advance.nnFrom San Juan’s marina to the reef anchorages of Culebra and Vieques, across the Mona Passage to Samaná Bay in the Dominican Republic, and west to Jamaica’s Port Antonio, a Heesen covers the Greater Antilles circuit efficiently given the yacht’s speed advantage over displacement vessels.
