BEST HYBRID WINNER | Heesen Home

The 163-foot (50-meter) Home is Heesen’s fi rst foray into hybrid power. With exterior design by Omega Architects, the yacht has a lightweight

aluminum hull for performance and effi ciency. She can be operated in four modes: hybrid, cruising, economical and boost. Home draws on two
sources of power for propulsion: diesel mechanical and diesel electrical, creating what Heesen calls a fl exible, quiet and vibration-free system. When

we were greeted on board, the fi rst words we heard were, “Welcome home.” Naturally. heesenyachts.com
