Heesen delivers 55m superyacht MOSKITO

The 55m (180.4ft) superyacht MOSKITO is the Dutch builder's second delivery of the year and features a six-cabin interior by Bannenberg & Rowell.

Heesen has seen the delivery of its second yacht of 2021 with the 55m (180.4ft) motor yacht MOSKITO, formerly known as ‘Project Pollux’ being handed over to her new owners.

Built using the latest van Oossanen ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form, the 760GT motor yacht features muscular exterior lines by Omega Architects and luxurious interiors from the pen of Bannenberg & Rowell.

Launched in September 2020, motor yacht MOSKITO is the second hull from Heesen’s 55 Steel series following the delivery of motor yacht SOLEMATES in August 2020.

Highlights on board include a 110-square-meter (1185 sq. ft) sundeck, a supersized on-deck Jacuzzi, a glass encased skylounge and a large aft beach club for waterside living. Accommodating up to 12 guests, her six cabins include an 82-square-meter (882.6ft) Owner’s apartment, a VIP cabin on the bridge deck and four spacious guest cabins on the lower deck.

Inside, eucalyptus wood, pale sycamore and chevron parquet flooring are paired to create a calming feel, combining bold solutions with casual appeal. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks offer panoramic views.

Powered by IMO III-compliant MTU 8V 4000 M63s motor yacht MOSKITO will have a top speed of 15.5knots and a range of 4,500nm at a cruising speed of 13 knots.

Motor yacht MOSKITO is now on her maiden voyage to Malta and is set to be available for charter in the Mediterranean in the summer months and the Caribbean in the winter. 

Motor yacht MOSKITO becomes Heesen’s second delivery of the year after 50m (164ft) ARKADIA was handed to her American owner earlier this month. The Dutch builder has another four yachts set to be delivered in 2021, including 60m (196.85ft) Project Falcon, which is Heesen’s largest-ever steel displacement yacht.

With most Heesen builds being semi-custom projects based on pre-defined hull shapes potential owners face a much shorter than normal delivery time with a good degree of customization still being available above the water. To explore its fleet fully view all Heesen yachts for sale.
