Heesen / Heesen 60m Steel FDHF
MY Lusine is a 60-metre full-custom motor yacht, the largest steel yacht Heesen had built at her delivery in 2022. She is constructed on a steel hull with aluminium superstructure, using the Fast Displacement Hull Form developed by Van Oossanen and refined by Heesen’s naval architects for range and efficiency without giving up speed.
Frank Laupman of Omega Architects drew her exterior, with a distinctive ‘bird’s wing’ motif linking the main, bridge and sun decks beneath a bold horizontal sweep of tinted glass. The interior by Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design is calm and restrained, built around rare woods, fine leathers and a full-beam owner’s stateroom with 180-degree views and a private aft terrace.
Two MTU 4000 series engines give her a top speed of 17.5 knots and a range of 4,200 nautical miles at 13 knots. At 1,079 GT across 60 metres, she pairs the volume of a much larger yacht with the efficiency and seakeeping of the FDHF platform.

At 60 metres, most of her rivals are built for speed between ports. She is built to cross oceans.
Two MTU 4000 series engines drive the Fast Displacement Hull Form developed with naval architect Van Oossanen, a design that reduces drag significantly against a conventional steel hull of this size. The result is a 4,200 nautical mile range at a 13 knot cruise, enough for a transatlantic crossing without refuelling, and a 17.5 knot top speed when the schedule calls for it. A fuel capacity of 125,000 litres supports that range without compromise, and Heesen’s own engineering team, working alongside Van Oossanen, kept noise and vibration below class requirements throughout the hull. For an owner who wants to cover real distance rather than cruise within a small radius, the FDHF platform is the reason to choose this yacht over a conventional 60 metre.
A single sweeping line ties the whole superstructure together.
Frank Laupman of Omega Architects drew her exterior around a signature motif that links the main, bridge and sun decks beneath a bold, continuous band of tinted glass, a shape that reads as one gesture rather than three stacked decks. A touch and go helipad sits aft, doubling as open deck space when not in use, and a glass elevator runs through the decks it serves, a detail more common on yachts considerably larger than 60 metres. Three tenders, launched from a transom garage and from shell doors forward on the main deck, keep water toys and support craft out of sight until needed. Built in steel with an aluminium superstructure, she carries her size with a lightness the drawings do not always suggest in photographs.
Twelve guests across six cabins, with a full beam owner’s suite that answers for itself.
Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design shaped an interior built from rare woods, fine leathers, bespoke metals and glass, and custom lighting and furniture throughout, with an earth toned palette of walnut, mahogany and Macassar veneers running through the main spaces. The owner’s suite spans the full beam, with panoramic views, a private aft terrace and a whirlpool, set apart from the guest cabins that house the remaining party. A crew of fourteen, generous for a yacht of this size, supports a genuinely full service programme rather than a stretched one. The open plan main saloon and dining room keep the public spaces connected, a composed, restrained backdrop for an owner who entertains as much as cruises.
Outdoor space on a 60 metre Heesen is rarely an afterthought, and it is not one here.
A large foredeck lounge gives guests a private spot forward away from the main deck’s activity, while the main deck aft carries a lounge, a bar and an al fresco dining table for life outside once anchor is down. The sun deck adds a second helipad area when the forward pad is not in use, along with further lounging space well above the waterline. Televisions run throughout the yacht, and the glass elevator means every deck, including those outdoor spaces, stays within easy reach regardless of occasion. Between the owner’s private terrace, the foredeck and the sun deck, the yacht offers several distinct outdoor settings rather than one deck trying to serve every purpose.
Delivered in 2022 as Heesen’s largest steel hulled yacht, she already carries the credentials to match.
Built in steel with an aluminium superstructure, she measures 60 metres overall on a 10.9 metre beam, drawing 3 metres and displacing 1,079 gross tonnes. Two MTU 4000 series engines, a 125,000 litre fuel capacity and the Fast Displacement Hull Form give her both range and turn of speed, while naval architecture from Van Oossanen and Heesen’s own engineering team underpins the whole platform. She was named custom yacht of the year at the World Yacht Trophies, recognition that sits alongside her Omega Architects exterior and Sinot interior. For an owner seeking a large, efficient yacht with the pedigree of two of the industry’s most respected design houses, she is a rare combination of scale and substance.
