A new central agency has been announced on the 47-metre Heesen motor yacht Asya, now listed for sale with Rytis Babravicius of Ocean Independence.
Built in steel and aluminium by the Dutch yard and delivered in 2015, Asya is the second hull in the shipyard's restyled 47-metre full displacement class, with exterior design by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. She underwent a significant refit between 2024 and 2026 at the same time as her 10-year survey was completed.
Asya sports a hallmark "pelican" bow with traditional lines and continuous black glass windows.
Her broker notes that "simplicity is the guiding principle of Asya's interior design", and indeed, her interiors, which were penned by London-based studio Bannenberg & Rowell, are sophisticated and understated.
The interior decor throughout features fresh gloss white lacquer paired with bleached wenge and macassar ebony.
On board, the main saloon is host to a large lounge with sofas and coffee tables to port and starboard and a formal dining table forward. Nearby, a library-like space is framed by book niches, some of which are protected by glass doors and underlined by polished stainless-steel details.
Above, the upper saloon provides a more informal setting for guests to kick back and relax with two semi-circular sofas and a round games table. Come evening, the room can be turned into a cinema complete with a bar and wine room concealed behind a door.
Asya can sleep up to 12 guests in five cabins, comprised of a full-beam owner’s suite, two doubles and two twin cabins, each with an additional Pullman berth. All cabins follow a similar design, creating cohesion throughout the yacht for sale's living spaces.
Asya boasts many exterior social hubs along her three decks. Future owners will enjoy al fresco dining on the upper deck aft around a 12-seater table, as well as at a booth-style option on the main deck below.
Meanwhile, her sundeck is perfect for those wishing to sunbathe. Sunpads flank the forward-facing Four Seasons Jacuzzi, and overlook the cluster of sunpads featured ahead of the wheelhouse at the bow. This area benefits from full 360-degree sights and features a bar for lively entertainment against a beautiful backdrop.
Rounding off Asya's portfolio of amenities is the gym equipped with free weights and a cycle machine, as well as a vast chest of toys. A Seadoo, Jetsurf and three Seabobs, as well as snorkelling equipment, waterski set, wakeboard and much more will keep guests occupied for days at sea.
The restyling of the 47-metre platform included a significant change to the housing of the rescue tender in an enclosed bay in front of the wheelhouse, offering a cleaner exterior.
Power comes from twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 diesel engines delivering a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.
Asya is asking €23,000,000.
