Genesis - 2023

OUT OF THIS WORLD

At 80.07 metres, 1,700 Gross Tons and with a top speed of 29 knots, Genesis, previously Project Cosmos is the world’s largest and fastest all-aluminium motoryacht with conventional propeller propulsion system. Winch Design created a streamlined yacht with innovative design traits but still retaining the Heesen DNA: muscular sportiness and timeless elegance. The design, engineering, technology and craftsmanship in this extraordinary yacht represent a milestone not just for Heesen, but for the yachting industry in general.

First impressions

Some of the most notable features on board Genesis are the fully-rated helicopter landing pad for a Eurocopter EC135 that transforms into an outdoor cinema with stunning effect; the crystal elevator from the lower deck to the sun deck for chic accessibility; the breath-taking seven-metre pool with contra-jets for swimming, paired with a waterfall and glass bottom; the sumptuous beach club with a sunken walk-around bar and large transom and side platforms. To give her the necessary longitudinal strength, we designed and patented a complex, full-length structural reinforcement system that we call The Backbone. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and Heesen Yachts have taken this project to the next level of quality, to create our most intricate and precious interiors so far.

Step aboard

Genesis is a testament to the pinnacle of design, engineering, technology, and craftsmanship of Heesen. The interior design of this project takes inspiration from nature, particularly natural mathematics like the Fibonacci sequence, shaping the core of its architectural aesthetics. Clear, graphic lines define a clean, uncluttered space, creating an environment that exudes architectural excellence. Exceptional materials like backlit onyx, straw marquetry, and crystal glass panels are skillfully integrated within these lines, accentuating their innate beauty. The interior is further adorned with custom-designed furniture crafted from a combination of glass, marble, metal, and various wood types, adding the final touches to the overall décor.

80m Heesen flagship Genesis delivered under new ownership

Under new ownership, Heesen, the Dutch shipyard, has unveiled its latest flagship, the 80-meter superyacht Genesis. Previously referred to as Project Cosmos and Galactica, this all-aluminium vessel was technically completed in the previous year, with sea trials conducted in April 2022.

In an official statement, Heesen announced that the yacht was formally handed over to its new owners on August 31st. The shipyard also confirmed that the sale and delivery of the yacht were carried out in coordination with Dutch authorities. In May of the previous year, the shipyard underwent a change in ownership structure, becoming an independent foundation, thereby ensuring its complete Dutch ownership and allowing it to continue constructing and delivering yachts.

Genesis now surpasses Heesen’s previous flagship, the 70-meter Galactica Super Nova, by an impressive 10 meters. It claims the title of the fastest aluminium yacht in its size category, powered by four MTU 4000 M73 engines with a combined output of 19,000hp.

The yacht boasts exterior styling crafted by the British studio Winch Design, while Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design was tasked with designing the interior. This project represents Heesen’s third collaboration with Sinot.

Genesis offers accommodation for up to 12 guests, distributed across six cabins, including a luxurious main deck owner’s suite, a bridge-deck VIP cabin, and four cabins on the lower deck. Additionally, the crew quarters are designed to accommodate a staff of 19 individuals.

Among its standout features is a certified helideck located on the bow, beneath which is a spacious tender garage capable of housing a custom limousine designed by Winch.

According to BOATPro, Heesen currently has eight projects in various stages of construction. Genesis joins three other superyachts expected to be delivered this year, including the 60-meter Ultra G.

Inside the interior of Heesen's 80m flagship superyacht Galactica

Related articles, superyacht directory.

When the 80 metre Heesen superyacht Project Cosmos, now named Galactica , hit the water for the first time in November , superyacht enthusiasts were quick to notice the ferocious pair of teeth custom painted on the superyacht’s bulb. It might have been assumed that this was indicative of an eccentric interior design hiding beneath the sleek exterior but this, according to Paul Costerus of interior design studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design , is not the case.

He describes the Galactica’s teeth as a “bit of fun”. Inside, however, the owner’s brief for the new Heesen flagship was for a “light” interior, in both light and atmosphere. The studio, which previously collaborated with Heesen on Home , Project Falcon and Galactica Super Nova , also penned the interior of the owner’s previous yacht and was asked to make Galactica’s interior “lighter and brighter” in comparison. “Sometimes,” Costerus explains, “you have an interior that feels as though it’s sitting right on top of you – our goal was to avoid that.”

To do this, Sinot focused on “adding light into the interior” with indirect lighting. Key examples include the glass ceilings in the main deck lounge, combined with materials such as faux leathers and woodwork, which add “interesting contrasts.” 

Another trick was the inclusion of large windows “angled towards the light”. These windows work to “drag” light into the interior and “frame the view”. Sinot also focused on lightening the interior in terms of the weight of the environment, with “light touches of nature” and layers of detailing.

Neutral woods and light silks contrast with stained walnut wood and stainless-steel detailing. The carpets meanwhile are made of natural fibres - silk and wool - while the light and dark stones add an extra layer of contrast.

The upholstery adds another layer of detailing, with headboards, cushions and wall panels bedecked in different shades of blue, from “sky blues to sea blues”. Up in the skylounge however, the colours change to “reds and oranges” in synergy with the sunsets that will be enjoyed from that area. When it comes to Costerus’ personal favourite space on board, he immediately points to the owner’s cabin. Galactica will be a busy yacht, with a steady flow of the owner’s friends and business colleagues.

The owner’s cabin however will remain entirely private and as a result, features a “natural and calm” décor with a higher level of detailing seen elsewhere on the yacht. This is evident in the intricacy of the stitching in the wall panels and headboard, the latter of which could be considered an “art piece”, Costerus says. Unlike the guest cabins, which feature retail light fittings, the light fittings in the owner’s cabin are custom made. “It’s the most luxurious space on board,” Costerus says, “it’s really a showcase of the level of detail that Galactica offers.”

The Yachts team at Winch Design is delighted to have worked with Heesen on superyacht Genesis (Project Cosmos). Extensive use of glass, clean lines and her sporty silhouette are signatures of both Winch Design and Heesen, who have created a dynamic exterior profile which will look as good in twenty years as it does at launch. Inside, Genesis makes room for 12 guests and 19 crew.

The interior includes a spectacular spiral superyacht staircase, and decorative materials, such as black onyx, straw marquetry and crystal panels feature throughout. Custom furniture made from glass, marble, metal and various woods add the finishing touches to this highly modern superyacht.

Back to Sea

Sanctioned billionaire oligarch who was unable to take delivery of his brand new 262-foot-long superyacht that was built in his own shipyard has sold his dream boat with a heavy heart to a mystery buyer. The ultra-luxury vessel was moored and gathering dust for more than a year.

"Galactica" should be commencing her sea trials today and run through to the 15th.

Looking down the road for this yacht, it is supposed to make her international debut at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show(MYS).

These sanctions are hurting this yard and likely the ability to deliver "Galactica".

That's great news, thanks for the update!

captholli said: ↑ Heesen held a press conference a few days ago to announce the transfer of shares to an independent Dutch foundation thus making both yards 100% Dutch owned. A board was formed for oversite and to insure the future success of the company and of its current 13 yachts under construction. Both yards Oss and Winterswijk are fully operational and the parts and materials embargo has been lifted allowing major components such as Rolls Royce MTU engine packages to flow freely now to the builds.
