PANDION: a streamlined Heesen built for pace, with water toys for every age
PANDION, built by Heesen, is shaped around speed. Her superstructure is drawn long and low and swept back, announcing pace before she has left her mooring. Beneath it she is driven by waterjets rather than conventional propellers, which gives her a particular feel underway. She answers quickly, runs smoothly and covers open stretches without letting the passage become the main event of the day. She was refitted, and the result is a yacht that appears purposeful at anchor and settles into calm the moment you come aboard.
Inside, the décor is contemporary and the finishing careful. Lines are clean, and every corner seems thought through rather than simply filled. Her relaxing spaces are generous, with room to gather for a long lunch or to drift off alone with a book. The guest cabins share the same modern style and are thoughtfully fitted, so moving between them and the shared areas feels like one continuous space. She rewards slowing down as readily as she rewards speed, and guests soon find their own rhythm aboard.
Her pace is as useful as it is exhilarating. A morning swim in one bay, lunch at anchor further along the coast and an evening ashore somewhere else entirely become a single, unhurried day, and a shift in the wind need never dictate the plan. In Greece, where she cruises, that means islands that might otherwise seem out of reach come comfortably within range. Her crew take the logistics in hand, from where to anchor and when to move to how the table is laid. You decide how the day should feel, and they see to the rest.
On the water she is equally well supplied. A Seabob and Sea-Doo Spark jet skis suit those who want speed of their own, while the kayak and SUPs make for quieter exploring along the shore. Waterskis come in adult and children's sizes, alongside a wakeboard and kneeboard, and the banana and tube bring plenty of laughter to younger guests. Snorkelling equipment is kept ready for clear coves. The Novurania tender handles beach landings and runs into harbour whenever a village stroll or a stretch of sand appeals.
