50M CUSTOM HEESEN SUPERYACHT CINDERELLA NOEL IV ON SEA TRIALS

The 49.9-metre Heesen superyacht Cinderella Noel IV has been seen on her sea trials in the North Sea. Built under the name Oslo24, she was launched from the Heesen Yachts facility in Oss, the Netherlands in December 2023.

The highly-customised 50-metre steel superyacht was built for an experienced yachtsman, who wanted a superyacht that met his needs. Cinderella Noel IV features a second steering position on the fly for the owner, with a flight of stairs to facilitate the transition from the flybridge to the wheelhouse.

Cinderella Noel IV showcases naval architecture by her builder Heesen Yachts, while her exterior design was penned by Clifford Denn Design, and her interiors crafted by Luca Dini Design & Architecture.

The interior design brief for Cinderella Noel IV was to incorporate the family's desire to spend life at sea. The décor is a refined and pure expression of quiet luxury and Scandinavian chic. White, greige and taupe soft furnishings contrast with high gloss Indian rosewood and dark oak flooring, to create an elegant base for accents of colour.

The yacht has been designed to navigate the fjords and waterways of the high northern latitudes, and the interior scheme complements the natural world where Cinderella Noel IV will cruise.

Fine leather panels crafted by Foglizzo Atelier depict antique sea charts of the owners' favourite cruising areas. A leitmotif of gentle ripples in the woodwork is used vertically and horizontally to emphasise the connection with nature.

The owner has been heavily involved in the design of Cinderella Noel IV, alongside the owner’s representative, Stefan Zucker of Zucker & Partner. She features leather and warm tones which adds a homely and comfortable feel to the vessel.

This steel yacht features a hybrid propulsion system, a first-time installation for Heesen, alongside a foldable mast for navigating bridge passages and channel navigation lights for planned canal and lock passages. These additions perfectly demonstrate a yacht built and equipped for its intended use.

In terms of performance, Cinderella Noel IV is equipped with twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 IMO III diesel engines and a Heesen hybrid propulsion system, for the ultimate luxury of silent cruising at up to 8.5 knots.
