Heesen Yachts has delivered the YN 20457, Santosha, a highly personalised superyacht crafted to meet the unique tastes and preferences of her new owners. Drawing upon years of chartering experience, the owners collaborated closely with Heesen’s skilled engineers and craftsmen to ensure every detail of their vision was fulfilled.
Santosha's highlights
- First in the new 57m series
- Exterior by Omega, Interior by Harrison Eidsgaard
- 780 GT with almost 400 sqm of luxury interior
- Shallow draft, Bahamas-friendly
- 22 knots top speed

Fast, sleek and spacious, Santosha is set to thrill speed enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. The first in Heesen’s new 57m Aluminium Class with FDHF, she reaches a rapid top speed of 22 knots. Defined by a shapely silhouette that includes an elongated profile and a completely new scoop-shaped stern, her beauty lies within the elegant and contemporary design, wrapped up in a high-volume 750GT.
Frank Laupman (Omega Yachts):
"We added a touch of aggression by way of sharp angles. The overall effect is the look of a leaping animal".
Santosha also represents a significant milestone in Heesen’s yacht design and engineering. As the first in a new class of 57 m all-aluminium yachts, she features an enclosed volume of approximately 780 GT and a lightweight, ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form. “The accuracy of the weight calculations was critical in achieving the Bahama draft,” said Peter van der Zanden, Head of Heesen’s Engineering Department. “This yacht exemplifies our commitment to precision engineering and design excellence.”

Accommodating 12 guests across six luxurious staterooms, Santosha includes a 63 sqm owner’s apartment on the main deck. Her striking exterior design, including a unique scooped stern, adds to her impressive presence on the water. Generous outdoor spaces further enhance the onboard experience, allowing guests to fully enjoy life at sea.
