Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while the 86-square-metre owner’s stateroom on the main deck forward is a private haven featuring amber mirrored surrounds that frame the windows to enhance the sense of height. A private veranda, a rare feature on a yacht of this size, offers a secluded spot to enjoy the views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354394/image/large-e9954163afedfcdb66e3b1c9ffc1c9f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354394">The second scheme, inspired by The Winter’s Tale, introduces deeper, earthy tones for those who prefer to cruise in colder climates, where comfort and cosiness are paramount. In the beach club wellness area, wool throws and a bioethanol fireplace add warmth, while hugging armchairs and soft carpets in the saloon create a cocooning feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355633/image/large-3cf3a35097578d129f3a4e50328fad30.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355633">For those seeking something more playful and nature-infused, A Midsummer Night’s Dream inspires the third design proposal. Maroon tones, organic shapes and floral patterns lend an ethereal atmosphere, with bubble ceiling lights and flexible furniture arrangements in the sky lounge offering spaces suited to both casual and formal occasions. In the beach club, lush greenery and a telescope encourage guests to reconnect with nature and stargaze by the water’s edge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355634/image/large-287ba48160ba51fbdc8153375f258ae9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355634">The final scheme, influenced by The Taming of the Shrew, brings a bold and dramatic touch with feminine flair. Vibrant purples and pinks, playful lighting and statement mirrors inject personality into the spaces, demonstrating how colour and décor choices can transform the atmosphere without altering fixed elements.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354882/image/large-628e4c6cf9f6dcc9f8113e7c0e1fe297.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354882">Versatile living spaces designed for comfort, relaxation and effortless entertaining<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12672" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Agnetha55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2025">Agnetha</a>’s layout is designed with versatility in mind, accommodating up to twelve guests across six staterooms. In addition to the owner’s suite, there are four guest staterooms on the lower deck and a VIP stateroom on the bridge deck, making her ideal for both private use and charter. The main saloon is arranged with a large L-shaped Molteni modular sofa and Gio Ponti armchairs, with a daybed by Studio Liaigre acting as a subtle divider. The formal dining area, seating twelve guests, benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks for uninterrupted views and an abundance of natural light.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354878/image/large-2432b00cc3f21c5c2f17a7febceb895b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354878">Her 36-square-metre beach club doubles as a wellness retreat, featuring a sauna with floor-to-ceiling Alaska granite slabs and pale Aspen wood cladding. Customisable lighting allows guests to tailor the atmosphere to their mood. The transom opens directly onto a fixed swim platform, offering easy access to the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355635/image/large-d381ff23656b3885a5700ba99eaf9533.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355635">On deck, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12672" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Agnetha55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2025">Agnetha</a> offers an abundance of outdoor space. The 110-square-metre sun deck includes a large whirlpool set adjacent to a bar, perfect for socialising and relaxing in style. The bridge deck aft is furnished with a Tribu modular sofa and a bespoke teak dining table for twelve, surrounded by designer chairs and decorative lanterns. At the bow, the yacht houses a seven-metre and 6.5-metre tender, alongside an array of water toys, all easily launched and recovered.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354876/image/large-2ebc7b987dc3102f07ab1b07e465ddc8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354876">Power, range and precision: Evolution of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s 55-metre seriesBuilt on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a>’s ultra-efficient fast displacement hull form and powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a>4000 M63 engines, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12672" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Agnetha55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2025">Agnetha</a> reaches a top speed of 15.5 knots and cruises comfortably at 13 knots.
