New details revealed about the in-build 57m Heesen superyacht Project Akira

Italy-based yard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/636" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Rizzardi (Company)">Rizzardi yachts</a> has announced the construction of the first 24-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/636" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Rizzardi (Company)">Rizzardi</a> motor yacht, INSeven Plus. The first unit in the flagship series of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/636" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Rizzardi (Company)">Rizzardi</a> “IN” range has been commissioned by an Italian owner, with construction currently underway.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307948/image/large-e9f4849b23f7036195e25cc1af636c9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307948">The INSeven Plus yacht will be equipped with highly advanced technological solutions to consolidate the shipyard's market position in the segment of large open yachts. The success of the "IN" line is underscored by the production of over 25 boats in just four years, exclusively within this range.&nbsp;This new INSeven Plus project is set to reflect the designs of the large open hard-top INFive and INSix, featuring access below deck through a large glass door that showcases a vast contiguous area between the external and internal environment. With approximately 24-metres in length and a beam of 5.5-metres, these dimensions are planned for a yacht that will symbolise sportiness, elegance, and comfort.&nbsp;Despite a design characterised by an aggressive look and sleek lines, the INSeven Plus yacht is equipped with extensive walkable spaces and generous internal volumes, an achievement not easily attained in this type of vessel. The interiors will be customised at the owner's request, in keeping with the shipyard's tradition.From a technical standpoint, the propulsion of the new INSeven will be entrusted to surface drives, which, supported by the "Auto-Trim" system, ensure not only exceptional performance levels but also low-speed planning. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307949/image/large-caecefe4d75120603fa883b76997b93a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307949">At the helm, manoeuvrability will be handled by an electronic management joystick for the automatic control of the surface propellers, thereby simplifying the yacht's movement during docking phases. The system will also enable a "digital anchoring" feature. Anchoring will thus be possible, by pressing on a special keypad, to maintain the boat's positioning.

They were looking to recreate a similar ambience onboard their yacht and the interior design emerged from this point. Welcoming the results, the owners asked us to add some of this aesthetic flavour to the exterior design, further evolving the DNA of the preliminary concept penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SFG Yacht Design (Company)">SFG</a> and Fancy by Dada. We changed some of the proportions and lines while extending the stern by around two metres.

Three ensuite double crew cabins will be located in the forepeak next to the mess, while the captain’s cabin will be situated on the bridge deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309609/image/large-e83e933703ecb5e3921ae448972794c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309609">“It is clear that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> is one of the few yards in the Netherlands with the capacity and flexibility to build fully custom superyachts in this size range,” concludes head of sales Yoeri Bijker. “This 40-metre beauty is based upon an existing engineered platform that is proven in terms of naval architecture. Project EVO is a fine example of how clients can come to Van der Valk with their own exterior designers without having to reinvent the wheel with a new hull, safe in the knowledge that their yacht will excel in terms of performance, speed and stability.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309608/image/large-41125f829f0e5065639ca3ef5b70d646.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309608">The 370 GT bluewater cruising yacht will feature a round bilged, fast displacement hull and a top speed of 24 knots.
