Project YN 20955 is the latest addition to the popular 55m Steel FDHD series,  featuring an impressive range, ample spaces and fast displacement hulls 

The entire series design was initially penned by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, who later made a few changes to it to  make the exterior design more contemporary.

The aluminium superstructure features a distinctive element called  “shark tooth” on the wheelhouse overhang. The boat is almost free of any "excessive" pillars and mullions both in the saloons and exterior areas aft, which ensures the guests’s constant contact with the sea and offers amazing unobstructed sea views from almost any point on board. 

The efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form coupled with twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines allow the yacht to reach a top speed of 15.5 knots

Agnetha offers six cabins to accommodate up to 12 guests. The spacious owner’s cabin of 86 sq.m is located on the main deck forward and features his-and-hers dressing rooms and bathrooms, and a veranda on the starboard side. Four more guest cabins are located below deck, and there is also a VIP suite on the bridge deck. There are also separate crew quarters for 13.

The internal volume of 760 GT, designed by Luca Dini Design and Architecture, creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere on board. A palette of warm tones wraps the guests in a feeling of comfort, inviting them to spend as much time on board as possible.

“The Heesen 55-metre Steel Class is constantly evolving, and Project Agnetha is the result. The beauty of buying this kind of superyacht is that the shipyard has taken care of all the technical aspects and has perfected the platform, incorporating in-depth feedback from our constant dialogue with brokers, owners and captains. So when clients join the project, they can enjoy the fun part of building a superyacht, focusing on all those details that will make the yacht truly theirs," said Mark Cavendish, Heesen CCO.

The efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form coupled with twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines compliant with IMO Tier III, allow the yacht to reach a top speed of 15.5 knots. At a speed of 13 knots the provisional range is about 4500 nautical miles.
