The 50 meter full-displacement motor yacht with hull number 14750, was launched from the shipyard in Oss, the Netherlands.
SKY is a fully customized motor yacht of over 500GT, whose naval architecture has been conceived by Heesen’s in-house naval architects. Sky’s exterior styling was drawn by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects.
The yacht’s contemporary and masculine interior has been designed by the New York-based interior designers Mojo-Stumer Associates. The interior is decorated predominantly with Makassar cabinetry featuring carbon-fiber and stainless steel detailing. Mark Stumer says, “The architecture of the interior was created to reinforce a linear spatial quality without sacrificing internal headroom. Mundane elements of everyday life, such as televisions, kitchen equipment, and storage units, have been concealed to express immaculate symmetry. This yacht has the window glazing employing an external butt-joint to eliminate dominant vertical mullions”.
Twelve guests can be accommodated in four guest cabins and one owner’s suite. The owner’s suite, located forward on the main deck, features a bathroom equipped with a custom made steam shower. The two twin-bedded guest cabins are located amidships on the lower deck, aft of the two VIP double cabins. All cabins are equipped with private ensuite shower rooms. A fully equipped fitness area is located on the sundeck, where the custom-made octagonal spa pool occupies the forward element of this partially sheltered deck area.
The delivery of SKY is scheduled for April 2010, after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.
