Heesen Yachts in The Netherlands has launched Project Agnetha, a 180-foot yacht that’s available for delivery to an owner in the second quarter of this year.
Project Agnetha is part of Heesen’s 55-meter Steel series. It has 760 gross tons of internal volume and is built on a fast displacement hull form. Heesen says the yacht’s top speed is 15.5 knots with a pair of MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines. Exteriors are by Omega architects, and interiors are by Luca Dini Design and Architecture.
The superstructure on Project Agnetha has a “shark tooth” motif on the wheelhouse overhang, with no pillars on the superstructure aft—adding to the broad, uninterrupted sea views for the owner and guests. The main deck’s dining area lacks window mullions for this same reason.
“The Heesen 55-metre Steel Class is constantly evolving, and Project Agnetha is the result,” Mark Cavendish, chief commercial officer at Heesen, stated in a press release. “The beauty of buying this kind of superyacht is that the shipyard has taken care of all the technical aspects and has perfected the platform, incorporating in-depth feedback from our constant dialogue with brokers, owners and captains. So when clients join the project, they can enjoy the fun part of building a superyacht, focusing on all those details that will make the yacht truly theirs.”
Project Agnetha accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, including a main-deck owners’ space with his-and-hers dressing rooms and bathrooms, and a veranda to starboard. Four guest staterooms are on the lower deck, and a VIP stateroom is on the bridge deck.
The interior is designed with a palette of warm tones.
What else is new at Heesen? The shipyard recently delivered Serena, marking Heesen’s first delivery of this year. Serena is 180 feet length overall. The project was sold and managed by Arcon Yachts Monaco. Construction on that yacht began back in spring 2022.
Luca Dini’s Design and Architecture was also involved with this build, as was Omega Architects. Heesen says Serena has a 4,500-nautical-mile, transatlantic range at 13 knots and a top hop of 15.5 knots, with a pair of MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines.
According to Richard Kaye of Arcon Yachts Monaco: “We have fine-tuned the yacht with the owner, enhancing an already fantastic design. By incorporating windows into the beach club to create a serene sauna and relaxation zone, and making subtle changes throughout the vessel, we have tailored it to the owner’s wishes. The result is a stylish and practical design that everyone should be proud of.”
