This sharp triangle of aluminium points vertically down from the curve of the wheelhouse overhang and the impact is accentuated by the vertical windows that run like gills along her sides. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203342/image/large-b17810def2bc73ba99ace942157eaa4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203342">A Winning Recipe&nbsp;Following the delivery of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vida55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2019">Vida</a> in 2019, the third 55M Steel, the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> decided to revise the architectural arrangement of the upper superstructure, lengthening the upper saloon and carving out space to accommodate a VIP cabin. In doing so, they were able to restructure the lower deck stateroom layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203331/image/large-cb81bff98d6e8dac66b0f693970c3bf4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203331">When questioned why this restructure took place, Cavendish noted that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> has come to realise that often, guests utilise the bridge deck for entertainment and relaxation, perhaps more than the main deck and beach club. “The upper saloon is probably three quarters the size of the main saloon, which is unusually large, and I would not be at all surprised if guests mainly used that saloon instead.” Leading out of this upper saloon, guests are faced with an expanse of deck, and with the main dining table located here, the desirability of this space is immediately recognisable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203333/image/large-44ad16ea5dba17c5239807eeeff415e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203333">This upper saloon, which has a bar to the port side and an array of seating options to starboard, with a large television screen centrally located, has a relaxed feel, “the doors will be open a lot to the aft deck, and we wanted to give that space a different vibe from the more formal main saloon below,” said Dickie Bannenberg.<ul><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52736" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen delivers 55m superyacht Moskito (2021-04-19 13:30:00 +0200)">Heesen delivers 55m superyacht Moskito</a></li></ul>Uninhibited DesignFor the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a>, designing the interior of a speculation project is a golden egg; within the restraints of the design brief, they are uninhibited in their stylistic choices and free to experiment with unique design tools. Mark Cavendish commented, “Interior designers have a finger on the pulse, and a better understanding of where styles and trends are moving than we do as yacht builders, so we let them come up with the interior design. Of course, we review, because we don’t want to design yachts that are too individualistic, as it reduces our market. This calibre needs to be stylish, which is why we choose top designers like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a> to work with.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203334/image/large-df5762b55959c2826d62ada397336b02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203334"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7334" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moskito55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2021">Moskito</a>’s interior design emanates the stylistic verve that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a> are renowned for. When you first look at the interiors, it would be easy to misleadingly consider them minimalist, in truth, the clean, geometric, lines and neutral palette have been cleverly enhanced by the subtle use of curved forms that punctuate the vertical surfaces. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203335/image/large-bea7c4c369c611bc54433ba9ce7da547.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203335">Dickie sees these curved forms as the most characteristic design feature of her interior, but the organic, panelled walls have more than simply a stylistic role. “We wanted to get some kind of soft and sinuous form into the bulkhead panelling. This is most prominent in the main saloon, where it shrouds and disguises the engine room air casings.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203336/image/large-f7908bda1d445a41636c55914e2bda56.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203336">Similar, though simpler, forms are found below within the guest cabins, materialising as gently rounded surfaces, while the master stateroom on the main deck, and the upper deck VIP stateroom, carry the theme through. The master suite, an impressive 82 square-metre apartment on the main deck, in many respects the heart of the yacht, has a subtly curved arc panel, disguising the main bulkhead, which flows through the bookcase to port. Behind the bed, the Eucalyptus panelling from the main saloon is echoed, creating a subtle synergy throughout the interior.<ul><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/51887" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="55m Heesen yacht project Pollux sold (2020-10-09 11:30:00 +0200)">55m Heesen yacht project Pollux sold</a></li></ul>The Interior FinishThe owner was so taken by the interior design, that he requested <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a> select the entirety of the interior styling. The team scoured the British art market to find contemporary pieces to complement the interior aesthetic. “It was quite an unusual request from the owners to finish right down to the books and the artwork, but of course as designers we like this level of design because it enables us to ensure that the whole yacht works together very well.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203337/image/large-82d1c879a852b296a7b863836be83bd7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203337">The artwork was selected to enhance and balance the neutral, geometric interiors, which are finished in an array of fine woods and materials. White and neutral tone leather wall panels and light grey metallic majlite, a faux leather material covering the ceilings and sections of the walls, create a vision of softness. This is punctuated by brushed vintage nickel details, found in the trim of the dark eucalyptus furniture, and pinpointed on the bedheads.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203341/image/large-cb4b817d22c8c5a4281299c03faa94f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203341">All materials selected by the design team emphasise the impressive amount of natural light provided by the expansive employment of floor-to-ceiling windows. The furniture has either been especially designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a>, or has been sourced from the finest designers across the world. One such piece, a coffee table from Amsterdam, features a nano-technology finish that seals itself when scratched, leaving the surfaces unmarked.&nbsp;A Turnkey Design<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7334" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moskito55.0m (180'5&quot;)Heesen Yachts2021">Moskito</a>’s owner purchased the superyacht in September 2020, when she was around 80% complete, and the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a> had to move quickly to complete the outfitting whilst in the throes of Brexit. Then came Covid-19, an additional spanner in the works, but the entire team saw to her completion in time for her delivery in April. When the owner stepped aboard the superyacht in Malta, it was the first time he had seen the vessel in reality, and neither Dickie, nor Mark, were there to greet him, a very unusual modus operandi for the team. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203338/image/large-159a543438b4b339b939c5798acf8b84.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203338">For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a>, this was a hugely exciting project to be involved in, and to have the support of an owner who embraced their stylistic spirit entirely means that it is a standout within their portfolio. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203339/image/large-7b0c42f9ceeb91854b0fca7a174fb36a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203339">As for the future of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s 55M Steel, Mark Cavendish commented, “I do not see demand cooling off for this yacht, we have just sold the sixth hull and are now in construction of the seventh.

On board 55m superyacht Moskito

Here, we take an exclusive look on board Heesen's 55m superyacht Moskito, launched in 2020.

Onboard: Heesen’s 55m superyacht Moskito

Netherlands

Built on a heritage of world-class craftsmanship, Heesen has been delivering award-winning yachts for 40 years. Since the time its founding father Frans Heesen acquired the business in 1978, the shipyard has been characterised by constant innovation and an unrelenting focus on quality. The launch of 44m Octopussy in 1988 - the fastest superyacht in the world topping out at 53.17 knots – brought world-wide acclaim.When Frans retired in 2012, one chapter closed, and another began. Since then, the once family-owned yard has gone on, in partnership with naval architects Van Oossanen, to pioneer hybrid propulsion, as well as the revolutionary FDHF hull, and the ultra-efficient Hull Vane®.&nbsp;The year 2016 proved to be a turning point in Heesen’s history. It was the year the Dutch shipyard, renowned for its precision engineering, delivered its largest yacht to date – 70m Galactica Super Nova. It was also the year that Heesen completed a vast expansion of its facilities in Oss, the Netherlands; a new 85-metre dry dock, equipped with advanced features to create the best working environment possible.2019 represents another milestone in the history of the company. On May 14, the keel of the mighty 80m full-aluminium Project Cosmos was laid. When launched, she will be the largest and fastest all aluminium yacht ever built with a top speed of almost 30 knots.Heesen continues to grow today, acquiring additional sites and further investing in its interior furniture workshop, thereby increasing its capacity by 30 per cent.The year 2020 was challenging for the whole world and the yachting industry. At &nbsp;Heesen, it proved that financial stability, coupled with dependable Dutch organisation &nbsp;and a passionate workforce is the key to success in times of hardship. Despite &nbsp;enforced global travel restrictions and the challenges set by working in shifts, &nbsp;Heesen delivered two superyachts and sold five new contracts. With events and in- &nbsp;person gatherings cancelled, Heesen launched YachtTalk, the world's first-ever talk show dedicated to the superyacht industry.Heesen’s ability to quickly respond to market needs has been unequivocally proven over the years, but never more so than with the yard’s award-winning semi-custom platforms. The reduction in both production time and manufacturing costs has seen Heesen rise to the top of the 55-60m and 60-80m custom market.A continued investment in research, the application of smart technology, and collaboration with leading designers and developers all contribute to keeping the brand one step ahead.Although no longer a family business, Heesen has retained a family feel – something of a calling card for the 40-year-old Dutch yard – and is today one of the most advanced yacht-building facilities in the world.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/497902994" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
