1987 Heesen Brio

Between two extensive refits in 2009/2010 and most recently 2015, Brio has benefited from the extensive knowledge and financial investment of a highly experienced, multi-yacht owner and his crew, she shows as ‘Simply immaculate’ and is ready for private or commercial use immediately in all respects. A full refit report is available on request however some of the highlights include; decks extended, interior completely renewed in 2010 and refreshed again in 2015, brand new paint in 2013, new hull sections under the engine room, engine and generator overhauls, complete 5 yr ABS Survey, stainless handles replaced throughout, new water makers, AC serviced, much of the engine room piping either renewed or serviced, new carpet throughout, interior and exterior teak sanded or varnished  all new exterior canvas and cushions not to mention upgraded and modern AV throughout. Brio literally shows as new and represents an exceptional opportunity for the discerning client looking for a ‘Dutch pedigree’ yacht in pristine condition that has crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom, can cruise economically and due to her shallow draft still find those ‘hard to reach’ anchorages that other yachts of her size cannot find.
