fast displacement seventy At 70 metres, Kometa is the largest Heesen built to date. Following on from the multi award-winning Galactica Star, this aluminium fast displacement yacht achieves a top speed of 30 knots. With a sleek, elegant profile by Espen Øino, Kometa is the perfect combination of speed, space and style.

Day or night Kometa will be an incredibly impressive yacht. Not just visually but also from a practical perspective.

Kometa has an incredible 357 square metres of deck space. From sun deck to beach club there are twelve alternatives for guests to choose from including sunbathing, dining, spa space, Jacuzzis, jet-pool or just lounging around in the sun or shade. Already past the initial stages of construction, Kometa will be delivered in 2016. UPPER DECK DINING MAIN DECK DINING BEACH CLUB

What makes Kometa different from every other yacht in the world is a fusion of three totally different concepts. These include the revolutionary fast displacement hull, a ground breaking fixed pitch propeller shape unlike anything yet fitted to a yacht and a Rolls Royce central booster jet, all coordinated by Heesen engineers and Dutch hydrodynamic specialists Van Oossanen. Advanced technology can also help guests in cases of misadventure. The Heesen Rapid Reaction System has alarm buttons in strategic positions on every deck for use in the event of a person falling overboard. When...

What makes Kometa different from every other yacht in the world is a fusion of three totally different concepts.

Kometa’s fast displacement aluminium hull reduces resistance by up to 20 per cent, dramatically decreasing the amount of power required to achieve a given speed. Less power required simply means less fuel used and less fuel means less weight. It is a virtuous circle that means Kometa is as practical as she is exhilarating.

70 metres, 4.000 mile range, 20 per cent more efficient.

The foredeck can be used as a touch-and-go helipad or as a chic, shaded lounging space for sunbathing or informal dining. At night it transforms into an outdoor cinema or stage with built–in speakers that can also be used for a music concert.

The main deck has a 6-metre swim-jet infinity pool with a waterfall, glass panelled bottom and spa jets for hydro-massage. Sunrays stream through the pool floor, bathing the lower deck beach club with dappled light beams. At night, LED lighting creates a magical atmosphere for entertaining.

Kometa has over 44 square metres of platforms unfolding from the beach club. From sunrise to sunset guests can relax at sea level.

From recreation to relaxation, Kometa’s 146 square metre beach club has been designed to be a waterside alternative to the sun deck. A full-length bar for cocktails and snacks, an elegant lounge with large plasma screens, a beautiful mosaic glass-tiled steam room, the beach club is an all–day (and evening) location.

A lounge, spa and casual dining area, guests can also sunbathe by the sea or jump onto the jetskis, go for a swim or take a tender to waterski or venture ashore.

Kometa’s shaded sun deck is shielded from the wind by her beautifully curved superstructure. Fluid, free-flowing structures wrap around the deck space that includes sunpads, a barbecue, bar, dining area and lounge.

With a total of 357 square metres each deck has the space to fulfil so many ideas. Kometa, remarkably, is everything to everyone.

The aft upper deck combines with the sky lounge to create an enormous indoor / outdoor entertaining area of over 92 square metres. Set under a starlight deck head the dining table can be extended to seat up to 20 guests. Twin plasma screens link up with the state-of-the-art entertainment system to stream films independently to every screen.

UPPER DECK DINING

The sky lounge is a wonderfully casual saloon with a bar, games table, wide sofas and armchairs. Guests can relax before or after dining on the aft deck. With a custom created sound system by California Audio Technology, the entire upper deck and lounge can be transformed into a nightclub with professional DJ equipment and laser effect lighting.

MAIN SALOON For a yacht with such staggering performance, Kometa’s classic contemporary interior is a paragon of elegant comfort. Designed by Sinot working closely with Espen Øino, the concept takes full advantage of the enormous glazed areas on the main and upper decks. Discreet ceiling lighting highlights rich textures and the subtle patterning within the exotic selection of natural materials: Italian marble, onyx, soft gloss wenge, petrified wood, hand-stitched leathers and Persian silk.

MAIN SALOON LOUNGE AREA The main saloon consists of three separate areas: a dining space for 12, a semi-circular lounge with large screen home cinema and a glass enclosed entertaining area that links up with the aft deck terrace through retracting glass doors. Open fireplaces on either side of the cinema screen create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Decoratively classic yet contemporary, panels of strikingly patterned marble and wenge contrast against an intricate parquet floor.

DINING AREA

Spectacular staircases are a hallmark of Heesen yachts. Kometa will take it to another level with a myriad of intricate bespoke details and elaborate light installations embedded into the walls, stair treads, ceiling and floor. The staircase wraps around a glass and steel elevator connecting all internal levels of the yacht.

ENTRANCE LOBBY

Kometa’s master suite is set forward on the main deck. Both the bedroom and ensuite bathroom are full-beam. Separate entrances and vanity units are connected by a central walk-in rain shower. A calm, contemporary and elegant atmosphere comes from shades of cool, blue accent colours with layers of concealed lighting. Large windows span the length of the room on both sides and extend through to the private study.

Custom patterned woven wool carpet, engraved Spinneybeck leather walls and a stingray bed base – the master suite is a paragon of elegant classic contemporary style.
