Exploring castlefinn: a luxurious heesen yacht
In the world of luxury yachts, few names evoke prestige and craftsmanship quite like Heesen. CASTLEFINN, a 146′ 7″ masterpiece crafted in 2011, exemplifies Heesen’s dedication to excellence and innovation in yacht building.

Built from aluminum, CASTLEFINN is not just a yacht; it is a statement of elegance on the water. Key features include:
- Recently spent $750k on bringing the boat to ABS class (pending final inspection)

- Twin MTU 16V-4000s (3,574 hours, Feb 2024) featuring up to 20-knot cruising speeds
- Five opulent ensuite cabins with convertible sixth stateroom sky lounge
- New interior throughout the vessel
- Beautiful spacious sundeck with Jacuzzi, sunbeams, service bar, and retractable sun awnings
- Large tender garage and beach club
- $4 million refit in 2021-2024

Design and interior refinement
The exterior of CASTLEFINN is a sight to behold, characterized by sleek hull lines and expansive multi-sized windows that not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also ensure abundant natural light floods its interiors. Recently refitted under the discerning eye of its current owner, the yacht now boasts an interior that blends luxury with comfort seamlessly.
The interior design is a symphony of white and autumn hues, complemented by a rich variety of textures and materials. Accommodating up to 10 guests across 5 spacious cabins, each equipped with an ensuite bath, CASTLEFINN offers ample space for relaxation and privacy. Additionally, a unique feature is the optional stateroom in the sky lounge, complete with a hidden queen-size drop-down murphy bed, accommodating up to 12 guests if needed. The master suite, located on the main deck, features a master cabin, study, ensuite bathroom with his and hers partitions, and a generously sized wardrobe—perfect for extended cruising in style and comfort.
Onboard Amenities
Step into the main salon and dining area, seamlessly integrated with an aft lounge boasting a semi-circular seating arrangement and panoramic views accessible via the aft deck. For a more comprehensive look at the yacht’s features, a detailed walk-through video provides an immersive experience.
The sundeck of CASTLEFINN is a haven for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a Jacuzzi, lounging area, and an entertainment bar equipped with a sound system. It’s the ideal spot for soaking up the sun or hosting guests in style.
Performance and features
Powered by twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines, CASTLEFINN is designed for both speed and efficiency. With a cruising speed of 20 knots and a top speed of 23 knots, this semi-displacement superyacht offers swift travel across the seas. At a more economical speed of 12 knots, supported by zero-speed stabilizers, CASTLEFINN boasts a range akin to that of a full displacement yacht—approximately 3500 nautical miles—an attractive feature for extended voyages.
The commitment to excellence extends to recent upgrades totaling over $4 million from 2021 to 2024. These enhancements cover modernizations in electronics, mechanical equipment, and interior décor, ensuring CASTLEFINN remains in pristine condition for years to come. A 2023 ABS special survey further attests to the yacht’s compliance with the highest safety and operational standards.

Among its standout features, CASTLEFINN recently underwent significant expenditures to maintain ABS class standards, making it turn-key ready for its next owner. The yacht also includes a large tender garage, easily convertible into a beach club, reflecting versatility tailored to owners who cherish water activities.
