Heesen Yachts has announced that Project „Frida“, the latest addition to its 55-metre Steel series, is available for purchase, with delivery scheduled for February 2026.
The yacht was launched at the shipyard in Oss on 26 August 2025 and is currently undergoing final outfitting.
Project Frida builds on the experience gained from her sister ship „Agnetha“. According to the yard, data and performance results from „Agnetha’s“ sea trials and maiden voyage to Monaco have once again demonstrated the reliability of the Heesen 55-metre Steel class.
The yacht features a distinctive superstructure design with a pronounced „shark tooth” line and floor-to-ceiling windows intended to provide ample natural light. Her steel hull is designed for fuel efficiency and comfort at all speeds, supported by zero-speed and underway stabilisers.
Project „Frida“ is built to meet Large Yacht Code 3 (LY3) commercial standards. Powered by twin Rolls-Royce MTU 8V diesel engines rated at 1,000 kW each, she reaches a top speed of 15.5 knots and offers a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots. A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system ensures compliance with IMO Tier III emission requirements.
With a gross tonnage of 760 GT, the interior is designed by Luca Dini Design and Architecture. Key features include a sundeck with whirlpool, bar and multiple lounge areas, a sky lounge connected to an aft terrace for outdoor dining, and a beach club with direct access to the sea.
Jeroen van der Meer, CEO of Heesen Yachts, said: “Project ‘Frida‘ is a truly unique offering in today’s market. She is the only 55-metre steel yacht from a Northern European shipyard available for such a swift delivery. The opportunity for an owner to step in now, personalise the final details with Luca Dini’s team, and be cruising the Mediterranean next summer is exceptional. The technical advancements and proven performance from her sister ship, Agnetha, provide an incredible advantage, ensuring a yacht that is not only beautiful but also technically perfected.”
