YACHTS Vida’s progressive Fast Displacement Hull, devised by Van Oossanen Naval Architects and implemented by Heesen, offers a maximum speed of 16 knots and frugal fuel consumption, providing her with a remarkable range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots. Combining superb comfort with optimised efficiency throughout the speed spectrum and changeable weather conditions, Heesen’s 55m FDHF steel class has undoubtedly set a new standard in superyacht performance. Vida’s exterior profile is clean, sleek and characterised by floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light to flood her interiors. Expansive outdoor areas offer plenty of entertainment space, including a 100 square metre sundeck for lounging that is invitingly enhanced by a swimming pool featuring a mesmerising waterfall. At night, this space becomes the ultimate party area, complete with a starred ceiling, a large and fully equipped bar and a colourful ambience created by the pool’s LED lights.
