Request Pre-Charter InspectionAbout UNEXPECTED
UNEXPECTED is a 37.70-metre custom aluminium motor yacht built by Heesen in 2001 and comprehensively refitted in 2021, registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Her exterior was designed by Omega Architects and Vripack, with interiors by Omega Architects and Elise Boers — a combination that reflects the Dutch yard's tradition of engaging independent design talent for each commission. She accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins, served by a crew of 7, with a gross tonnage of 377 tonnes.
UNEXPECTED is available for yacht charter throughout the Mediterranean, covering Croatia, Greece, Turkey, France, the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Corsica, Ibiza, the Balearics, Monaco, and Montenegro. Her aluminium hull delivers a striking performance envelope: a maximum speed of 26 knots against a cruising speed of 10 knots, with a range of 2,200 nautical miles. This combination suits guests who want the option of spirited passages between destinations without sacrificing comfort at anchor.
The 2021 refit has meaningfully updated UNEXPECTED's systems and presentation, ensuring her 2001 build year does not constrain her operational relevance. Her amenities — deck jacuzzi, gym, underway and at-anchor stabilisers, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi — are proportionate to her size and guest capacity. The Heesen hull form, known for seakeeping efficiency in aluminium construction, gives her a practical advantage in varied Mediterranean weather conditions.
Her water toys inventory is among the more extensive for a vessel of her length: Yamaha GP 1800R and VXR jet-skis, flyboard, hoverboard, F5 Seabob, water-skis, kite surfer, windsurfer, surfboard, wakeskate, inflatable kayak, paddleboard, scuba diving equipment, snorkelling gear, and towable inflatables. UNEXPECTED suits guests who prioritise water-sports variety, speed capability, and a well-refitted vessel; those requiring a newer build or more than 10 guest berths will need to look to a different vessel.
The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols. As an independent authority, RightYacht provides owners and charterers with transparent, third-party evaluation — helping inform decisions beyond marketing materials alone.
