Satori recognised by industry

Heesen Yachts’ 50-metre Satori has been awarded two World Yacht Trophies in Cannes and the prestigious Prix du Design in Monaco. Satori is the first of Heesen’s new 50-metre aluminium class. Delivered in May 2011 and officially christened during the Monaco Grand Prix, Satori has been cruising extensively in the Mediterranean.



The World Yacht Trophies ceremony took place at the Carlton Beach, Cannes in mid-September. Satori was competing in the category Custom Yachts under 50 metres and she won both the Best Design and Best Layout and Decoration awards. Fabio Ermetto, sales and marketing director at Heesen Yachts, collected the prizes and commented:
 "I am honoured to receive these two prizes on behalf of the Owner. Satori is a beautiful vessel. Her clean, distinctive design and perfect execution are the result of incredible teamwork. Thank you to the Owner for his vision, to Rémi Tessier for his creativity, and to the Heesen staff for their incredible ingenuity.”



The Prix du Design ceremony took place on board Satori herself whilst docked at Quai des Etats Unis during the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show. HSH Prince Albert of Monaco, the show’s general manager Gaëlle Tallarida and Anna Becker of Nymphenburg, presented Satori’s Owner with the Prix du Design. 
The prize, the Volute Bowl, is a unique piece of ceramic designed by Ted Muheling and entirely hand crafted at the Nymphenburg atelier in Munich.
