Yacht Description
Fast 50m Heesen. KNIGHT is a 164ft (50m) Heesen motor yacht that sleeps 10 guests in 5 suites, with a 2017 refit and the kind of performance that makes 14 knots cruising and up to 25 knots feel normal.
Sundeck setup matters. A large deck Jacuzzi, sun pads, and a bar on the split-level sun deck keep the group in one place without anyone having to “go find a seat.” Two salons (main deck and bridge deck) and dining across three levels give you options when you want a change of scene.
A proper water day. The hydraulic swim platform simplifies getting in and out, then the toy box takes over: Seadoo jet-skis, Yamaha FX-HO (2022), a Lift eFoil, wakeboard and skis, towables, paddleboards, kayaks, plus snorkeling gear and fishing equipment.
Cabins with logic. The owner’s suite sits on the main deck with a king bed and office area, backed up by two VIP doubles and two twin cabins on the lower deck, all en-suite.
