Delivered in 2025 by Heesen Yachts, the exterior and interior of Bijin were both designed by Omega Architects. Van Oossanen & Associates developed the naval architecture, ensuring a refined balance between hydrodynamic efficiency and contemporary design.
Inside, Bijin is characterized by her warm, tactile palette and flexible living spaces. Teak paneling runs throughout, giving the main salon a relaxed, organic feel that offsets her expedition-ready profile. The space is fitted with a bar area and built-in service features, including an ice maker and refrigerator, creating a functional social hub. An L-shaped sofa defines the seating area, while soft furnishings can be rearranged or removed entirely to suit owner preference.
The Sky Lounge on board the yacht for sale continues this understated yet luxurious approach, with leather-clad ceilings, marble countertops, and a carpeted floor designed for a soft, seamless walking experience. It also features a second bar and comprehensive AV systems for entertainment or film screenings. In keeping with her practical nature, the bridge houses advanced navigational systems and an observer’s bench, allowing guests to experience the yacht’s operations up close.
Bijin’s onboard lifestyle is centered around versatility and outdoor enjoyment. Her beach club connects directly to the swim platform, forming a private waterside retreat for relaxation or launching tenders and toys. The motor yacht for sale also features a sauna, gym, and comprehensive entertainment systems, including Starlink connectivity and on-demand video.
The main and upper aft decks are designed for open-air dining and socializing, including a large wooden table and built-in seating with integrated heating for comfort in cooler conditions. Wind-sheltering glass panels create a sense of enclosure without compromising the views. Above, the sun deck offers panoramic 360-degree vistas, large sun pads, a teppanyaki grill, a height-adjustable table, and a dedicated DJ booth – an element that has made her particularly distinctive on the charter and event circuit.
Forward, two tenders are stored on the foredeck, which can be cleared to create an expansive entertainment space. The fold-down bulwarks extend the area further, forming a rare open-air zone suitable for gatherings or sunbathing with uninterrupted ocean views.
The expedition yacht for sale accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins, attended by a crew of 11. The master suite occupies a full-beam position on the main deck. Designed with neutral tones and classic detailing, the space incorporates a private study, lounge area, and large windows for natural light. The en-suite bathroom features marble finishes, a dressing room, and a vanity area, with all lighting and entertainment managed through a Crestron system.
The guest accommodation is located on the lower deck, comprising three doubles and one twin, each with leather-clad ceilings, wood finishes, and full AV systems. Temperature control and soundproofing ensure privacy and comfort across all suites.
Built from aluminum with a full-displacement hull, Bijin measures 497 GT and spans three decks with a 9-meter beam. Powered by twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, she reaches a top speed of 19 knots and cruises comfortably at 15 knots. Her range and seakeeping are supported by advanced stabilizers for smooth performance both underway and at anchor.
Her technical and design sophistication earned Bijin multiple industry awards between 2015 and 2016, including the World Superyacht Award for “Displacement Motor Yachts below 500GT of 47m and above” and the ShowBoats Design Award for Exterior Design and Styling.
Bijin is on the market with Burgess and is currently asking €29,500,000.
