Chinese shipyard Heysea Yachts has secured an order for a 54.7-metre full-custom superyacht, marking a significant milestone in the yard's continued expansion into the international superyacht market. The new build has been sold to a European owner, with delivery scheduled for 2029.
Construction is already underway on the project, which has been designed throughout by Dutch studio Vripak. While details remain under wraps, the yacht will feature a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and will accommodate up to 12 guests.
The yacht will be fitted with twin 800hp engines, projected to reach a maximum speed of 12.5 knots and a range of 3,500 nautical miles at an eight-knot cruising speed. Key specs include a volume of 499GT, a 9.2-metre beam and a 2.4-metre draught.
According to exclusive BOATPro data, Heysea Yachts has three yachts currently under construction, including the recently sold 35.9-metre Asteria 116, scheduled for delivery in 2027.
