She is the latest in Heesen Yacht's 55-metre Steel class, and now Project Castor has been delivered.
Her owner has renamed her 'Solemates', and Omega Architects' Frank Laupman designed the exterior, which Heesen describes as having 'muscular exterior lines'.
The fast displacement hull of the 760GT yacht has been designed by Dutch hydrodynamicists, Van Oossanen Naval Architects.
Bannenberg & Rowell have designed the interior to reflect the owner's personal tastes and lifestyle. They have used new veneers and fabrics to create a comfortable and modern environment.
The forward section of the main deck features vertical floor-to-ceiling windows to enable natural light to flood in. The sky lounge and main saloon also offer full-height windows.
Solemates has a master stateroom, which is 82 square meters, and includes a full-width bedroom, a study, and separate his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes. There's also a full-beam sky lounge and larger suites on the lower deck.
Cruising speed delivers a range of 4,500 nautical miles.
Solemates offer a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots to deliver a range of 4,500 nautical miles.
There are three decks and six staterooms for accommodating 12 guests.
The bridge deck features a VIP suite, with the remaining four guest staterooms are found on the lower deck.
There are a wellness area and a spacious beach club in the stern, along with a fixed swimming platform.
Heesen says that each deck area offers a distinct way to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle.
The aft terrace has been dedicated to alfresco dining, while the seating placed in front of the bridge gives guests and the owner a perfect spot for enjoying the view while the yacht is underway.
The main deck aft is home to the reception area with armchairs, coffee tables, and built-in settees.
A sister ship to Project Castor, known as Project Pollux, is nearing completion and will be delivered in Fall.
