âWe are honoured to have built this exceptional yacht for such a wonderful family. She sets a new standard for Heesen yachts, offering unparalleled comfort and style.â
Special thanks were given to MarineMax, Northrop & Johnson, and MCMâs Peter Wilson for their expert coordination throughout the project.
Peter Wilson highlighted the yachtâs versatility and performance:
âSantosha offers speed, efficiency, and incredible range at lower speeds. Her shallow draft makes her incredibly versatile, making her the ultimate multipurpose vessel.â
