Heesen builds motor yachts between 30 to 55 metres at its yard in Oss, the Netherlands. The builder is recognised for all-aluminium hulls with fast semi-displacement forms, strong seakeeping and notable fuel efficiency. Each vessel reaches charter service after a thorough build and commissioning process, and Heesen yachts maintain a strong reputation across the international charter fleet.
There are currently 6 Heesen yachts available for charter in the British Virgin Islands. These range across several size classes and typically accommodate eight to twelve guests in four to six cabins. A professional crew of six to nine manages the vessel and handles everything from provisioning and navigation to watersports, which usually include jet skis, paddleboards, a tender and full snorkelling gear.
Weekly charter rates for Heesen yachts in Virgin Gorda start at around 90,000 euros and reach up to 280,000 euros for larger and more recent examples. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 to 35 percent is collected before departure and covers fuel, food, beverages and marina fees. December to April is peak season; availability for Christmas and New Year fills well in advance.
Virgin Gorda suits the range and comfort profile of Heesen yachts well. The typical itinerary departs from North Sound and calls at The Baths, North Sound, Mosquito Island, Eustatia Sound, Prickly Pear Island and the Dogs, combining snorkelling stops with evening anchorages in sheltered bays. A charter broker can match the right vessel to your group size and programme and advise on availability for your preferred dates.
