Heesen
Oss-based builder of aluminium and steel motor yachts up to about 80 m, known for fast-displacement hulls and in-house interiors from its Winterswijk facility. Dutch investor Laurens Last bought it in April 2025, ending the Alekperov-era foundation structure. It typically has a dozen or so hulls in build at once.
