50m Heesen yacht Sibelle sold

3 October 2024 • Written by Georgia Boscawen

The 49.9-metre Heesen yacht, Sibelle has been sold with Ocean Independence's Marco Vandoni representing the seller and Eleonora Pitasso of Burgess advising the buyer.

Delivered in 2015, the custom yacht features Heesen’s Fast Displacement Hull Form with a striking plumb bow. 

Sibelle was last asking €27,500,000.

Designed by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and Studio AB, her unique profile demanded a dedicated study to ensure course-keeping could be maintained as well as comfortable sailing in any sea state with her updated profile. This included tank testing at the Wolfson Unit MTIA, with a free running self-propelled model, ultimately proving the comfort and high-performance abilities of the hull design.

The yacht's interiors, which were also designed by Omega Architects with AB Studio serving as the interior design adviser, are light and contemporary with neutral tones and natural textures throughout. She can accommodate 10 guests in five cabins, including the 61-square-metre full-beam owner's suite, which is traditionally positioned on the main deck forward. She also features a well-appointed beach club, connected to the main saloon and has a sauna and swim platform.

On deck is where the yacht truly comes into her own with 237 square metres of space and a foredeck that transforms into a party area when the rescue tenders are launched.

Sibelle can reach a maximum speed of 18.5 knots powered by twin 1,00kW MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines, allowing transatlantic range while burning minimal fuel, leaving plenty in reserve after arriving at the destination. Her range is 3,150 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Sibelle was asking €27,500,000 and lying in Antibes, France.
