When it comes to the epitome of luxury yachting, the AURELIA doesn’t just raise the bar, it is the bar. Conceived as the tenth wonder in the Dutch yard’s lauded Heesen 3700 series, this floating palace brings a high-octane blend of sports car heritage and maritime brilliance. The yacht’s eye-catching exterior features a palate of Gulf Oil Racing colors, seamlessly applied by Dobroserdov Design. Further enhancing its marine prowess is a 9-meter Custom Chase Boat by Pascoe, freshly rebuilt with a new engine and drive leg.
One of AURELIA’s standout features is its Lazarette, transformed into a guest ‘Beach Club,’ complete with plush couches, a champagne fridge, and a 45-square meter swim deck that reveals itself when the transom door drops. As for accommodations, the owner went the extra nautical mile, designating a guest cabin for the captain to provide more room for guests and a larger crew.
Inside, Bannenberg & Rowell’s interior design pays homage to automotive opulence with Linley Aston Martin chairs and grille bookcase insets. Every design element screams craftsmanship, making AURELIA the only 3700 with a luxury interior fabricated outside the Heesen factory, a task brilliantly executed by Sinnex. Outdoor relaxation areas range from the shaded aft cockpit to the spacious sundeck, featuring al fresco seating and a lively bar area. For those who seek a bit of quietude, ample mattresses lie in front of the wheelhouse, ideal for sunbathing, reading, or simply unwinding.
Under the hood, AURELIA is as tough as it looks. Twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines propel it to a top speed of 30 knots, with a cruising range of 1,900 nautical miles at 12 knots. The vessel’s Seakeeper gyro stabilizers minimize roll and pitch, making every journey smoother. It’s not just a yacht; it’s a testament to what modern naval architecture and visionary design can achieve when they come together.
