LUISA is an elegant 47-metre motor yacht built by the renowned Dutch shipyard Heesen in 1998. One of only eight 4700-model hulls produced by Heesen, she represents a rare and distinguished example of Dutch maritime engineering. Impeccably maintained by her dedicated owner and long-serving captain, LUISA underwent a comprehensive refit in 2024 that has brought her interiors and systems to contemporary standards while preserving her classic lines.
With accommodation for up to twelve guests across five beautifully appointed staterooms, LUISA offers generous space for families and groups. The full-beam master suite provides a private sanctuary with en-suite marble bathroom, while four additional guest cabins each feature their own en-suite facilities, warm wood panelling, and subtle under-floor lighting that creates an atmosphere of understated luxury.
The interior design is a masterclass in warm minimalism, with rich wood panelling throughout complemented by cream upholstery and carefully chosen accent pieces. The main salon is both inviting and sophisticated, featuring comfortable seating arranged around panoramic windows, bold red accent armchairs that add a touch of personality, and abundant natural light. Forward, the formal dining area seats guests around an elegant table with banquette seating, setting the scene for memorable meals prepared by the onboard chef.
LUISA truly comes alive outdoors, where her generous deck spaces are designed for Mediterranean enjoyment. The expansive flybridge features a hardtop canopy for shade, deep blue-cushioned lounges, and a forward-facing seating area with breathtaking views. The sundeck boasts a dedicated jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads, perfect for relaxing as the coastline drifts by. On the aft deck, alfresco dining and lounging areas create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living, while a cinema screen on the lower aft deck offers open-air entertainment.
Her aluminium hull construction, a hallmark of Heesen craftsmanship, ensures both strength and performance. Powered to reach a maximum speed of 20 knots with a comfortable cruising speed of 13.5 knots, LUISA has a range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles, making her ideally suited for extended Mediterranean itineraries. Whether threading through the calanques of Corsica, anchoring off the Sardinian coast, or berthing in the glamorous ports of the French Riviera, her versatile draft allows access to a wide range of anchorages.
A professional crew of nine, intimately familiar with the South of France, Corsica, and Sardinia, ensures every detail of the charter experience is handled with care. The crew offers expert itinerary planning for quayside events and local highlights, alongside attentive table service and personalised dining.
The water toy collection is extensive, including jet skis, a Seabob, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling equipment, kayaks, towable inflatables, and a fully equipped Axopar tender for shore excursions or waterskiing. A dedicated spa area aboard provides further relaxation.
With a gross tonnage of 466, LUISA offers remarkable volume for extended cruising comfort, and her 8.5-metre beam provides outstanding stability both at anchor and underway. Available for charter in the Western Mediterranean at weekly rates from 150,000 to 180,000 euros, LUISA combines the timeless appeal of a classic Heesen with the modern comforts of her 2024 refit.
