YACHTS TO BE LAUNCHED IN 2026:
55-metre – Project Frida( Q1 2026)
Project Frida is the latest iteration of Heesen’ s 55-metre Steel series. Featuring a clean and crisp exterior styling, Frida takes on a muscular yet elegant design, striking the perfect balance between being large enough to offer the luxury expected from a superyacht but compact enough to access charming Mediterranean ports.
Frida’ s interior, designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture, offers a contemporary take on classic yacht design. The interior palette combines light, neutral tones, with rich mahogany wood and dark brown accents.
Frida accommodates up to twelve guests across six staterooms, including an impressive 86-squaremetre owner’ s suite on the main deck. The yacht also provides accommodation for 13 crew members, ensuring exceptional service on board.
