At the shipyard in Oss, we collaboratively create a unique product, starting from the first weld on the keel to the finishing touches of the interior. With each new phase—from the construction of the hull and superstructure, through outfitting and painting to the interior—you witness the yacht’s growth. We ultimately celebrate the launch together with pride and satisfaction. Even thereafter, during sea trials in the North Sea or service work worldwide, you remain engaged with ‘your’ yacht. We continually learn from every project and from one another. With your input, we can craft even better yachts.
Within Shipbuilding Production, three disciplines come together: Construction, Paint, and Outfitting.
Here, you work on leading steel hulls and aluminum superstructures. At Construction, these are assembled and welded with pure craftsmanship and an eye for detail. Team Paint coordinates external painting companies and ensures high-quality painting work, both inside and out. Outfitting then takes over, where all stainless steel and aluminum parts are produced and expertly mounted on board.
This is work that demands a strong quality awareness, but it is rewarded with great satisfaction. Shipbuilding Production offers ample opportunities to further develop your skills and advance within the shipbuilding industry.
Heesen Yachts builds some of the fastest yachts in the world, such as Ultra G, which reaches a top speed of 37 knots with 22,000 hp. Working with advanced technology inspires one to bring out the best in oneself. Once the engines and gearboxes have been installed, the engineers begin fitting out the engine room. Plumbers meticulously lay all the pipework on board. There are also specialised teams for Ship Systems, HVAC, Electrics, and Audiovisual Equipment, among others, who manage the subcontractors. The Commissioning Engineer oversees the commissioning of all systems. A small team remains involved in the sea trials and delivery of the yacht.
Within Interior / Exterior Production, we bring together all visible and functional components of a Heesen yacht. Our department is responsible for the finishing, installation, and integration of both interior and exterior elements, from rough construction to delivery and final acceptance.
Our scope includes, among other things, teak decks, glass structures and sliding doors, exterior ceilings, outdoor furniture and cushions, owner’s freestanding outdoor furniture (always securely mounted on the deck), basic flooring within the vessel, sliding and swing fire doors, as well as swimming pools and Jacuzzis.
Heesen Yachts Interiors (HYI) in Winterswijk produces all interiors entirely in-house and, with their installation teams, also handles the placement and finishing on board. From Interior / Exterior Production, we carry out the independent final acceptances.
By bringing these disciplines together within one integrated department, we guarantee cohesion, quality, and safety. Our work largely determines how a yacht is experienced — by the owner, guests, and crew. Therefore, our teams remain active on board right up until departure to finalize every detail, inside and out, to perfection.
