The Heed’s concept expresses a contemporary approach to luxury, the priorities being elegant restraint and well thought out functionality
Work on this full-custom project code-named FR052 started at the Rossinavi facility in Pisa in January 2024, so the technical launch took place just two years later. The architecture and engineering are owed to Arrabito Naval Architects, while the elegant but dynamic exterior was developed by Alberto Mancini Yacht Design.
According to the creators of the project, the yacht should remain elegant at rest and dynamic underway. The model features clean architectural lines and balanced volumes. The metallic grey hull finish does not only highlight the sculpted geometry of the hull, but creates a subtle interplay of light and shade, changing the yacht’s appearance at different times of the day.
With a length of 52.7 m, a beam of 9.1 m and a draft of 2.5 m, the owner wanted the internal volume to stay under 500 GT, so the spaces and proportions of the volume were rethought.
Thus, the exterior design of the upper deck features a forward upper deck fully dedicated to the owner and conceived as a private outdoor space in direct dialogue with the sea. Here, a forward deck pool is positioned directly ahead of the Owner’s suite, designed not only for relaxation but also for swimming against the current, creating a deep connection with the sea. There is another pool in the beach club. Moreover, the fold-down platforms allow one to relax right by the water.
Another fold-down balcony is on the starboard side, right opposite the dining area in the main saloon.
The details of the interior created by Italian Achille Salvagni Architetti are currently kept under wraps – just like the vessel’s performance characteristics. For now, the yard’s representatives underscore just one detail: the Heed will operate quietly at anchor thanks to the innovative onboard battery system.
