2011 Heesen Yachts 122

Launched by Heesen in 2011 and refitted in 2017, 2019 and 2023, she remains one
of the most recognisable yachts in the world. M/Y AURELIA has a transparent
ownership structure with a British UBO, a Maltese commercial registry and is
ready to charter.

The extrovert appearance of M/Y AURELIA was inspired by the Owner’s vision for
something distinctly different – a homage to sports car heritage. The number 10
symbol on the yacht’s side is a nod to her place as the tenth yacht in the Dutch
yard’s successful Heesen 3700 series. Gulf Oil Racing colours were adapted by
Dobroserdov Design and applied to the yacht as well as the 9 meter (30 foot)
Custom Chase Boat built by Pascoe. Capable of 46 knots, carrying 10 people, this
tender has just finished a complete rebuild, including a new engine, drive leg
and transmission. The Lazarette of AURELIA has been converted into a comfortable
guest ‘Beach Club’ with couches, music and a champagne fridge and a large swim
deck area of 45 square meters is formed when the transom door folds down.

While the standard layout for Heesen’s 3700 series is a 5 cabin configuration,
the owner of AURELIA wanted more comfort for guests and more space for the crew,
so designated a guest cabin for the captain. The result is a more realistic 6
crew for 8 guests and everyone benefits from extra living space, plus a welcome
and essential increase in laundry and crew facilities to ensure that service is
at the highest level, ideally suited for charter yachts. With interiors by
Bannenberg & Rowell, AURELIA’s ‘GT’ car concept required a considerable degree
of detail in every aspect of the design. From the Linley Aston Martin chairs to
the automobile grille bookcase insets, every classic feature exudes
craftsmanship. AURELIA is the only 3700 to have a luxury interior built outside
the factory and was realised by Sinnex.

The master suite can be found forward on the main deck and three double guest
cabins are located on the lower deck. All guest cabins feature LCD television
screens and en-suite bathrooms. Her main salon boasts ample seating via two
large armchairs, an L-shaped settee and an additional sofa alongside a
fully-equipped crockery and glassware cabinet.

Outdoor areas where guests can enjoy time to relax include the partially
sheltered aft cockpit and the large sundeck with its comfortable al fresco
seating and a convivial bar. Large mattresses can also be found in front of the
wheelhouse, perfect for sunbathing, reading or just simply unwinding.

Additional sun lounging and socializing spaces can be found on AURELIA’s
spacious foredeck, while two sets of stairs lead aft towards an al fresco dining
area on the main deck.

M/Y AURELIA is powered by twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines able to reach a
maximum speed of 30 knots, while her range at 12 knots is 1,900 nautical miles.
In a further aid to comfort, and efficient under all conditions but especially
when at anchor, is a pair of Seakeeper gyro stabilizers that were specified and
installed during the build. One gyro was replaced new in 2021, the second
replaced in 2023.

Very careful attention has been paid to eliminating noise and vibration. Double
glazing in all hull-windows, sound-proof tiles on the inside of the hull,
additional mass layers surrounding the Master Suite and sound-proof doors are
but some of the features that distinguish this yacht from her sisters.
