55m Heesen Superyacht Project Frida Enters Final Outfitting Ahead of 2026 Delivery

The 55m superyacht Project Frida has entered the final outfitting stage at the shipyard’s Oss facility in the Netherlands following her August 2025 launch.

Set for delivery in February 2026, Project Frida is one of four Heesen 55m Steel yachts currently under construction. With exterior styling by Omega Architects and interiors by Luca Dini Design and Architecture, she builds on the proven design and performance of her sistership Agnetha, introducing a refined interior for an owner seeking prompt delivery. 

Luca Dini’s Vision for Life at Sea

Luca Dini Design and Architecture has envisioned Project Frida’s 760 GT interior as a modern homage to the golden age of ocean travel. The décor inside the Heesen yacht is defined by warm, natural wengé wood and polished detailing, creating a balance between contemporary refinement and timeless elegance.

Frida’s interior is designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and a connection to the sea. It’s a modern interpretation of classic yachting luxury."

All furniture and cabinetry inside the superyacht for sale are produced by Heesen Yachts Interiors in Winterswijk, the shipyard’s dedicated in-house workshop known for its precision joinery. This internal craftsmanship capability enables a high degree of finish quality and personalization, underscoring Heesen’s vertically integrated approach to luxury interiors.

The layout of the yacht for sale accommodates up to 12 guests across six staterooms. A full-beam owner’s apartment on the main deck includes a private study, a bathroom finished in Calcite Blue stone, and a secluded veranda. Four guest cabins occupy the lower deck, while a flexible fifth cabin on the bridge deck provides versatility for VIP use or multi-purpose needs.

Alfresco Living Across the Decks

Frida’s deck plan prioritizes open-air living and relaxation. The sundeck on the motor yacht for sale includes a large whirlpool, a fully equipped bar, and multiple lounging areas. A skylounge connects directly to the aft terrace, creating a sheltered dining setting for panoramic meals at anchor.

Twin Rolls-Royce MTU 8V diesel engines, rated at 1,000 kW each, deliver a top speed of 15.5 knots and a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots. Zero-speed and underway stabilizers enhance comfort across all conditions, ensuring steady cruising and stable anchoring.

Nearing Delivery: A Rare Opportunity for Early 2026 Ownership

Having launched in late summer 2025, Project Frida is now in the outfitting phase, where mechanical systems, interiors, and deck installations are being finalized ahead of sea trials. According to Heesen CEO Jeroen van der Meer, the project represents a rare purchase opportunity in today’s market.

“Project Frida is the only 55-meter steel yacht from a Northern European shipyard available for such a swift delivery,” he said. “The opportunity for an owner to step in now, personalize the finishing touches with Luca Dini’s team, and be cruising the Mediterranean next summer is exceptional.”

Project Frida is on the market with Heesen and is currently asking €57,900,000.

Major Builds Leading Heesen’s 2026–2029 Lineup
