Aluminium semi displacement motor yacht
Heesen Yachts
About this yacht
TAHI is a Heesen — hull number 8340, aluminium, semi-displacement, launched in 1993 and carrying the pedigree that only a Dutch yard of that standing confers. What sets her apart today is not her birth certificate, but what has happened to her since 2022. Over the past two years alone, €7.5 million has been spent on this yacht. That figure covers a refit programme of more than a year — a complete interior refurbishment, a new wheelhouse, new electrical and battery systems, new AV/IT and Starlink connectivity, a remodelled sun deck and new deck equipment — followed by a full technical and classification programme that has just been completed. Crucially, that programme includes Special Survey No. 7, the 30-year five-yearly class survey, together with the annual Radio Survey. Anyone who has owned a yacht of this generation understands what that means: the single largest scheduled expense in a vessel's technical life has been taken care of, and taken care of properly, by the outgoing owner. The main engines have had their W5-plus service, the gearboxes their A4 service, the shafts have been opened and inspected, the propellers re-checked and re-balanced, and the stabilisers, rudders, steering and safety systems all serviced and signed off. The result is unusual in this size bracket. TAHI is not a project, and she is not a yacht sold on promises. She is a fully surveyed, comprehensively renewed 44-metre with a 40 sqm beach club, zero-speed stabilisers, twin Starlink, ten guests in five cabins and ten crew — available now, because the owners' plans have changed. For a new owner, the arithmetic is straightforward: the downtime has already been served, the invoices have already been paid, and the surveys have already been passed.
