Project Triton is a 50 m. full-capacity traditional steel casing designed by Clifford Denn and featuring a flared, bulging nose and profile inspired by the classic design of the car. "Austin Healy, Old Porsche and Alfa Spider are cars that inspired exterior design," says Mark Cavendish of Hessen. Its contemporary interiors are designed by the British studio Reymond Langton and can accommodate ten guests in five apartments on the main deck and four guest cabins on the lower deck.



Guests will enjoy the convenience of the yacht, including a beach club, a wellness center and an assortment of toys and tenders stored at the site. Cavendish also notes that "Lattices on the main deck on fashionable plates and, for example, navigation lights are just a few of the details of automotive design that give a modern appeal".



The Triton project is equipped with two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines that allow it to reach a maximum speed of 15 knots. At a cruising speed of 12 knots, it has a transoceanic range of 3800 nautical miles.



The design of Project Triton was described by Mark Cavendish as "timeless but sporty."



The built-in 50-meter super-boat Heesen Project Triton hit the water and will leave the Dutch shipyard to spend 5 days of sea trials in the North Sea. The delivery of the motor yacht is expected at the end of February 2020.
