Heesen to Exhibit at the inaugural Qatar Boat Show and the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show in November

With a growing presence in the Midde East market, Heesen is delighted to announce that it will be participating in the inaugural Qatar Boat Show (November 6-9) and the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show (November 21-24). Having recently appointed as Agent for the Middle East, Hisham Abushakra, Heesen is excited to continue to showcase its craftsmanship, cutting-edge innovation, and the renowned heritage of Dutch yacht building.

Having taken up his new position in September Abushakra is looking forward to encouraging visitors to explore the brand. “Boat Shows are a cornerstone for Heesen, allowing us to cultivate relationships in a region where luxury, performance and bespoke design are paramount,” explains Abushakra. “With almost 400 linear metres of yachts in the region, Heesen’s presence is steadily growing, serving as the perfect showcase of our commitment and excellence”.

The Middle East is a thriving market for luxury yachts, with clients who not only possess the means but also the knowledge to appreciate high-quality European yachts. Heesen’s yachts, celebrated for their precision, engineering, and customizable interiors, align perfectly with these regional preferences. From hybrid propulsion systems to bespoke design configurations, Heesen delivers both performance and individuality to meet the exacting demands of its clientele. This was showcased in 2022 with custom-build 60-metre Lusine, featuring one of the most complex superyacht interiors ever created.

Additionally, Heesen offers a short delivery programme, a unique advantage for clients seeking to purchase Northern European quality in time for the summer yachting season. This programme ensures that clients can enjoy our meticulously crafted yachts without the typical wait times. At the moment 50-metre Project Orion and 55-metre Project Agnetha are both available with delivery in 2025.

By participating in the Qatar Boat Show and the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show, Heesen aims to demonstrate its ongoing dedication to providing best-in-class luxury yachts that resonate with the values and aspirations of yachtsmen in the Middle East. Prospective clients and industry partners are welcome to visit us and discover what sets Heesen apart as a true leader in the global superyacht industry.
