Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 33'2" beam and a 10'6" draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 850 GT (Gross Tonnes).
The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. She was delivered to her owners in January 2012.
Exterior Design
The exterior of South, crafted by Omega Architects, showcases Heesen’s signature design DNA with its distinctive 'pelican beak' bow and a negative sheer line, which are hallmarks of the shipyard's approach to yacht architecture. The integration of carefully proportioned curves and stylistic elements ensures that the yacht maintains an elegant appearance while maximizing the views from the interior guest areas, without compromising on the generous exterior spaces provided. The yacht also has a flared bow design that reduces the impact of water over the deck in rough sea conditions.
The sun deck is divided into multiple areas for relaxation, featuring a custom mosaic spa pool forward and a social seating and sunbathing area aft. Both areas offer expansive views, whether the yacht is underway or at anchor. An enclosed gym and spa area, including a steam room, sauna, and massage room, is strategically placed to provide an ideal indoor-outdoor relaxation space while offering privacy and wind protection to the aft deck area.
Further enhancing the outdoor experience, the upper aft deck presents a large alfresco dining area alongside an expansive seating area. The main deck complements this with an additional seating and entertainment area, equipped with both built-in settees and movable furniture. The layout across the decks emphasizes a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as between different levels, facilitating an environment where guests can move freely and comfortably.
Interior Design
The interior design of South adopts a contemporary approach with classic elements. The primary materials used in the cabinetry and paneling throughout include high gloss and polished maple, alongside burled maple veneers. This choice of woodwork complements the interior's eleven different types of marble, such as calacatta marble, Iranian gold onyx, fiorito, and breccia paradiso. These marbles are skillfully shaped into both concave and convex curves.
The interior's color scheme primarily revolves around the light hues of the blond veneers and creamy tones of the stone, contributing to a spacious and bright atmosphere. This is further amplified by bespoke glass decorations, which introduce a tranquil element into the overall atmosphere.
The main deck saloon spans 94 square meters and is designed for formal entertaining. It incorporates a dining area at the forward end, featuring a glass divider that provides a visual connection to the aft seating area while maintaining a level of intimacy. An electric door connects the dining area to a large serving pantry and a professional galley, facilitating efficient service and clean-up.
Operational efficiency is a priority in the design of the wraparound bridge. It offers a 180-degree view from the console and easy access to both side decks, aiding maneuverability in tight spaces.
Accommodation
South is equipped to host a total of ten guests across five elegantly designed cabins, ensuring that each guest experiences unparalleled comfort during their stay on board.
At the heart of South's accommodation offering is the full-beam owner's stateroom, situated prominently on the main deck. This stateroom features a unique circular design that maximizes the use of space and natural light, with balconies on both sides and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. The master bedroom area is accompanied by a spacious study/studio to starboard, providing a serene private retreat or an ideal work area. The owner's suite also includes an ensuite bathroom, which spans 13.6 square meters and is equipped with a central oval bathtub and a shower stall.
In addition to the luxurious owner's suite, South houses a generously sized VIP suite located on the lower deck. This suite stretches across the full 10-meter beam of the yacht and includes a large sleeping area and a 10.8 square meter ensuite bathroom. The VIP suite's bathroom is outfitted with a full-sized tub.
South also accommodates guests in two double guest cabins and two twin guest cabins, each designed to offer comfort, privacy, and a luxurious onboard experience. These cabins are finished to the same high standards seen throughout South, ensuring that all guests enjoy accommodations of the highest quality.
