Under Wraps Until Now, Rossinavi's 53m Superyacht 'Heed' Finally Sees the Light of Day
The unveiling of a new custom-built superyacht on the market is always a momentous occasion, and this is certainly the case for ‘Heed’, born out of the Italian shipyard Rossinavi. The project, previously known only by its hull name FR052, has been kept closely under wraps throughout its construction since January 2024. But now, Rossinavi is ready to introduce the world to its newly completed, gleaming masterpiece. Augmented by a fast-displacement hull, the all-aluminium superyacht has been expertly designed by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Achille Salvagni Architetti and naval architecture by Arrabito Naval Architects. It’s the result of a close and energetic partnership with the owner, who has worked tirelessly alongside Matty Zadnikar of SeaNet SuperYachts to bring ‘Heed’ to life. With stunning clean architectural lines and understated volumes, ‘Heed’ is designed to look both elegant at rest, and dynamic underway with a sleek, metallic grey hull completing the yacht’s sophisticated geometric profile. ‘Heed’ is not just about her stylish exteriors, but also about the ultimate luxury lifestyle she offers on-board. The custom-build features an aft beach club with a pool and drop-down side platforms for an expansive social space, and a faultlessly designed look-out point on the observation deck. The yacht’s interiors consist of a spacious, fully-glazed main saloon leading out to a panoramic dining area on the aft deck, perfect for an al fresco dining experience. What’s more, the entire upper deck is exclusively dedicated to the owner with a forward owner’s suite, private outdoor lounge, and a forward pool with a counter-current. The superyacht’s metallic grey hull adds a touch of elegance, playing beautifully with the light and shadows throughout the day. Federico Rossi, Chief Operating Officer of Rossinavi, has shared his excitement about this stimulating project, which he believes will leave its mark on the yacht market. Heed also features an onboard battery system, enabling operation at anchor with the generators switched off, for a serene and quiet experience at sea. Amongst the key specifications are a 9.1-metre beam and a draught of 2.5 metres. ‘Heed’ stands as a testament to Rossinavi’s commitment to functionality and style, solidifying the shipyard’s leading position in the industry. In a world of superyachts, ‘Heed’ is a game-changer.
