David Johnson of Denison Yachts introduced the client, an experienced yachtsman who enjoys yachting with his family.

Thom Conboy of Heesen USA and the sales team in Oss worked closely with Denison Yachts to close the deal. This is the third contract signed by Heesen in 2020.

Mark Cavendish, Chief Commercial Officer at Heesen, comments: "We are thrilled to be able to sign this contract despite the challenges created by Covid19 travel restrictions. Both teams worked ardently using innovative marketing and communications tools to bridge the gap generated by the pandemic. We are delighted to welcome the Owners of Triton to the Heesen family and fleet!"

Project Triton is the second in the 50-metre steel class. She is a true blue-water motor yacht, featuring a displacement steel hull designed by Heesen's in-house team of naval architects and engineers.

Two MTU 8V4000 M63 diesel engines provide a top speed of 15 knots. She boasts a range of 3,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Her distinctive, flowing exterior lines inspired by classic automotive design are by British designer Clifford Denn, while fellow British studio Reymond Langton is responsible for the elegant interior design.

Ten guests are accommodated in five cabins, with the Owner's stateroom on the main deck forward, and four large guest suites on the lower deck. Outdoor spaces are generous and efficiently organised for maximum enjoyment and comfort. With tender and toys conveniently stored on the foredeck, the lazarette is available as a beach club and wellness area.

The delivery of Project Triton is scheduled for March 2021.

Despite the difficulties presented in 2020, Heesen is moving full steam ahead with 12 yachts under construction and deliveries that span through to 2023.
