Heesen is a Dutch shipyard based in Oss, building fast aluminium and steel motor yachts since 1978. The yard is known for a combination of sophisticated engineering, performance characteristics, and a willingness to push technical boundaries, having produced the first tri-deck aluminium superyacht and pioneered the use of gyroscopic stabilisation at anchor. In Montserrat, where a morning passage from Antigua or Nevis takes only a few hours, that pace and capability open up the itinerary considerably.
Six Heesen yachts are available for charter in Montserrat through The Yacht Collection. Lengths range from around 40 to over 70 metres, with layouts that reflect the yard’s contemporary design approach: open-plan main decks, generous beach clubs, and sundeck pools or Jacuzzis on larger vessels. Guest capacities run from ten to twelve, with crew teams of ten or more providing attentive service throughout.
Charter rates for Heesen yachts near Montserrat range from approximately 110,000 to over 280,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, food, port fees, and beverages. Caribbean high season is December through April. May and June deliver comparable conditions at softer rates, and the Leeward Islands anchorages are noticeably quieter outside peak season.
Heesen’s performance pedigree makes longer passages in the Leeward Islands feel effortless, whether covering the 40 miles to Antigua or the short hop south to Nevis for a morning stop.
