Inside The Finalist Heliad II

Heliad II

The megayacht "Heliad II" has recently been nominated as a finalist in the category Naval Architecture in the ShowBoat Design Awards that will take place on 24th February 2014 at Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens, Austria.

She was launched in May 2013 and has a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure. The designers worked with the owners to transform their wishes into this practical megayacht with classic lines that provides a lot of luxury and comfort to her guests. She is a yacht that offers everything for an active but relaxing home away from home.

Heliad II has been designed as a classic Diana Yacht and during her construction Diana yacht design worked closely together with the owners to refine the yacht’s style and features. Her flared bow and round stern are very recognisable in a Diana yacht design and give the yacht an elegant and timeless look. The designers challenged themselves to create a layout with 4 fully equipped decks, which isn’t often seen on a megayacht measuring only 34m (112ft) long.

The 8m (26ft) beam is quite large for a vessel her size, but greatly improves her seaworthiness and expands her interior space. Another feature never before seen on a 34m megayacht is the 5m tender, stowed inside the hull. It can be launched through a shell door on the starboard side using a sliding davit crane. A lot of thought also went into her engineering and construction.

She is a great piece of engineering and we wish her all the best in the up coming ShowBoat Design Awards.
