1990 Heesen 144

This 1990 Heesen 144 is an aluminum-hulled megayacht spanning 144 feet with a 27-foot beam. Twin MTU diesel engines producing 5,470 horsepower drive Kamewa waterjets, delivering a cruising speed of 13.5 knots and a maximum speed of 17 knots. The shallow draft characteristic of the waterjet propulsion system suits operation in the shallow waters of The Bahamas and similar destinations.

The interior, designed by Tui Pranich, balances brightness with relaxation throughout. The full-beam master stateroom occupies the main deck with a centerline king bed positioned for panoramic views and a substantial bathroom featuring a large Jacuzzi tub, rain shower head, and three additional wall shower heads. Four guest staterooms complete the accommodation: a king, two queens, and a twin with a Pullman berth. Each features ensuite facilities—the king and queen staterooms have modern glass showers, while the twin offers a Jacuzzi tub and glass shower combination. Large portholes throughout the guest spaces provide natural light.

The layout prioritizes onboard tranquility by positioning all tender and toy storage on the main deck aft, eliminating the need for visible cranes on the bridge deck or sundeck. This design choice preserves the serene character of upper deck spaces. The expansive sundeck includes an aft Jacuzzi surrounded by a pad, a full-beam forward sunpad with large umbrellas, a bar with seating, a barbecue grill, and a dining table with bench seating. The arrangement creates multiple venues for leisure and entertainment across the yacht's length.
