MOSKITO is a superb 55-metre motor yacht built by the renowned Dutch shipyard Heesen and delivered in 2021, the fifth yacht in the acclaimed 55m Steel series and one of the hottest prospects on the charter market. A genuine feat of engineering, she pairs an innovative Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, which makes her exceptionally fuel-efficient and long-legged, with sleek, sophisticated exterior lines by Omega Architects and a cutting-edge interior by the esteemed British studio Bannenberg and Rowell. Nominated at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards, she represents a new generation of steel superyacht, combining proven efficiency, refined style and exceptional volume with genuine ocean-going capability. Built on a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure over three decks, she is quiet, smooth and stable, fitted with the latest anti-roll stabilisers that work both at anchor and underway, and offers a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles from her advanced, IMO Tier III compliant MTU engines. Innovative use of glass throughout floods every deck with natural light and frames one panoramic vista after another, most notably in the full-beam sky lounge on the wheelhouse deck and the main saloon, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Bannenberg and Rowell’s interior is a masterclass in modern elegance, with smoked oak chevron parquet flooring, white Thassos, grey St Laurent and ivory Travertine marble and warm bronze accents combining natural, noble tones with fine workmanship. Designed with warmer climates in mind, MOSKITO offers an abundance of outdoor space, headlined by a 100-square-metre sun deck complete with an oversized jacuzzi, a bar, an al fresco dining area, ample seating and a shading hardtop, all enjoying 360-degree views. A further seating area at the bow is ideal for taking in the scenery while cruising, while the main deck aft is lined with sofa seating for casual, sociable days at anchor. On the lower deck, a resort-style beach club opens directly onto the sea and incorporates a dedicated wellness suite with a gym, a sauna and a steam room, along with a swim platform for easy access to her extensive array of water toys as an approved RYA watersports centre. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six en-suite cabins. The supremely spacious 82-square-metre full-beam master suite sits forward on the main deck, a light-filled retreat with a king-size bed, a private study or vanity overlooking the water, ample storage and a his-and-hers bathroom with a gorgeous bath. A VIP stateroom and a flexible mix of double and twin cabins, all convertible and beautifully finished, complete the accommodation, making her wonderfully suited to families and mixed groups. A professional crew of 13 delivers world-class hospitality and cuisine throughout. Cruising the Mediterranean in summer, with a base in Palma and easy access to the Balearics, France and Italy, and the Caribbean in winter, MOSKITO offers charter guests a rare combination of forward-thinking efficiency, spectacular deck spaces and sophisticated, contemporary comfort aboard one of the most impressive new Heesens of her generation. Available for charter through Cecil Wright and Partners, MOSKITO is offered at rates from EUR 350,000 per week plus expenses.
