Heesen just might be the world’s best builders of luxury yachts, sports-fishing vessels, and ships. Established in 1978, Heesen has been a leader in the yachting industry for more than 20 years.
Every season marks another achievement for Heesen, and in 2010, they released the much-anticipated super yacht, My Petra. My Petra is a 144 ft. vessel that exudes luxurious class from bow to stern (My Petra has recently been featured in Haute living Magazine).
Now some say yachting is a lifestyle, and if that’s true, My Petra screams “I live the good life,” louder than anything.
My Petra is the sixth yacht in Heseen’s semi-displacement, all aluminum, 4400 Class. The vessel reaches maximum speeds of 25 knots and sports twin MTU 16BV 4000 diesels that each deliver up to 2,729 kw.
My Petra houses a semi-circular conversation area, a formal saloon, a dining room, a number of bedrooms and his and her baths. Eight guests can be easily accommodated in four cabins positioned on the lower deck, two of which are VIP cabins.
The main deck offers a spacious cockpit, an upper deck sky lounge, a circular spa and pool with an outdoor dining table that seats ten comfortably In short, you couldn’t ask for anything more.
