Dutch shipyard Heesen has unveiled its latest project, the 72-meter superyacht YN 21872, known as Project Ananda. Developed in collaboration with Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, the vessel marks the first project under the shipyard’s updated strategic direction.
Project Ananda is built on a steel hull and features a hybrid propulsion system, utilizing twin MTU engines. According to tank testing data from the University of Southampton’s Wolfson Unit, the yacht is projected to achieve a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, with a maximum speed of 16 knots. The design process emphasizes flexibility, offering owners two distinct configurations for the master suite—either forward-facing or aft-focused.
The vessel includes a 100-square-meter beach club and spa, equipped with a sauna, steam room, ice bath, and a hyperbaric chamber. A central glass elevator allows guests to bypass principal social spaces for increased privacy. Interior construction will be handled by Heesen Interiors in Winterswijk, Netherlands. With design and naval architecture phases now complete, Heesen has scheduled the keel laying for November 2026, with an expected delivery in 2030.
