Deservedly winning ‘Best in Show under 140ft’ at the St Maarten Show 2008, ILONA is the latest from the 37m Heesen series with a sleek and sporty exterior complimented by a bright, modern and luxurious interior.

Stepping foot on the aft deck you immediately capture the feel of the yacht with her sophisticated and contemporary lounging area with two downy wicker and cream sofas, a large table which can be expanded and raised or left low to rest your cocktails on in front of the large flat screen television.

Inside the main saloon the circular dining table is placed at the aft of the yacht, comfortably seating eight guests. The floor is made of dark bamboo which is complimented when juxtaposed against the cherry wood cabinets and panelling in the main salon. Defining the separate spaces by the change in flooring to a soft woollen carpet, the lounge area lends itself to the natural cream and brown overtones seen throughout the yacht with a large corner sofa and leather armchair and foot rest. State of the art audio visual systems are installed with a kalaidescape system accessed on the aft deck, main salon and master cabin.

The full width neutral, comfortable and fully equipped master cabin is situated on the main deck forward of the salon. This cabin benefits from a seating area, a generous walk in wardrobe a flat screen television and a vanity unit. Soft furnishings in a symphony of cream, brown and taupe compliment the cherry wood finishings.

The spacious en suite master cabin also boasts a large walk-in shower en-suite with his and hers entrance and facilities conjoined by the central shower.

The guest accommodation consists of two elegantly designed and fitted double cabins, a twin cabin and an additional bunk with four single berths. Again the cherry panelling pervades throughout these cabins and together with the use of neutral tones, this gives a light and spacious feel. All cabins have shower en-suites.

Out to the sun deck, the Jacuzzi area has large sun pads to soak up the sun or sun loungers to relax with a book. Dining with panoramic views and privacy is also available with a table accommodating 8 guests and optional awnings to cover the whole area for some shade from the sun.

The forward deck is available for the more active with an outdoor gym in place equipped with a running machine, pull up bars and weights.

With a large and convenient swim platform available for guests to access the toys at ease or rinse off in the refreshing shower, ILONA is a perfect choice for charter and would be ideal for island hopping with speed capabilities of 29 knots.
