There are exceptional shipyards… and then there is Heesen — a crown jewel – an alchemist of the seas, a creator of vessels so clean, so sculpturally beautiful, so ethereal in silhouette. For decades, Heesen has produced icons: yachts that become instant classics, vessels that feel less engineered than conjured.
And following the dazzling sale of Agnetha at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Dutch masterbuilder now turns the spotlight to its newest marvel: Project Frida, the latest interpretation of its revered 55-metre Steel Series and one of the most enticing soon-to-be-available yachts on the global market today. Frida is absolutely beautiful and unmistakably Heesen.
With delivery scheduled for February 2026, Frida is the only 55-metre motor yacht with undeniable Dutch pedigree available for swift acquisition. For a discerning owner unwilling to compromise on craftsmanship or wait half a decade for a custom build, Frida represents something exceptionally rare: a ready-to-claim dream.
At 55 metres, Frida channels the pure design DNA that has made this series one of the most respected in the world. Her exterior is all crisp geometry and ocean-bred confidence — a yacht with presence, sculpted with a clean, athletic grace. Her proportions are perfect: large enough to deliver every whisper of the superyacht experience, yet agile enough to slip effortlessly into the glittering harbours of the Mediterranean or adventure into the vast untouched hidden gems of the globe.
Inside, Frida reveals a world curated by Luca Dini Design & Architecture, where contemporary refinement meets a modern interpretation of classic yachting elegance. Light, neutral tones create a calming luminosity, layered with rich mahogany and subtle dark-brown accents. The palette evokes sunlight glancing off varnished teak; the warmth of a private library at sea; the gentle symphony of modern luxury meeting maritime heritage.
Across six staterooms, she hosts 12 guests, offering sanctuary after sanctuary — none more spectacular than the 86-square-metre owner’s suite on the main deck. This private retreat is less a cabin and more an apartment on the ocean, with the kind of spatial generosity that only world-class shipyards dare to deliver.
A crew of 13 ensures impeccable service, reinforcing the yacht’s seamless blend of discretion, indulgence and effortless operation.
Modern yachting demands fluidity: spaces that dissolve the boundary between indoors and nature, rooms designed for celebration and tranquillity alike. Frida embraces this lifestyle wholeheartedly.
Her outdoor decks offer sophisticated flexibility, with settings that transition gracefully from sunrise breakfasts to sunset cocktails and midnight gatherings. The 110-square-metre sundeck is a floating penthouse in its own right, complete with jacuzzi, expansive lounging areas and panoramic views that stretch to the horizon.
Down at the waterline, a generous swim platform leads directly to the beach club, elevating the ritual of ocean immersion into something deliciously effortless.
Heesen’s magic, of course, lies not only in its beauty, but in the genius hidden beneath the hull. Frida is crafted around the celebrated Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), engineered by hydrodynamic visionaries Van Oossanen. This is efficiency made poetic, long-range capability paired with exceptional fuel performance, ensuring the yacht moves through the water with a quiet, silky authority.
Powered by two compact MTU 4000 M63 engines, Frida achieves a top speed of 15.5 knots, delivering both endurance and comfort with enviable calm.
What makes Frida truly extraordinary is not only her design, pedigree or capabilities — but her availability. In a market where elite builds are booked years in advance, Frida stands gleaming and singular: a turn-key Heesen yacht ready and waiting for you.
For the owner who understands that time is the ultimate luxury and that opportunities this exceptional are fleeting — Frida is nothing short of irresistible.
