Project Jackie For Sale

Project Jackie is a 55-metre superyacht in build at Heesen Yachts, part of the Dutch yard’s acclaimed 55-metre Steel Class, the design that has made Heesen the global leader in the 50-to-57-metre segment. Built on a proven, continually refined platform, she offers the reassurance of a fast-delivery speculative build alongside genuine scope for personalisation, and is offered ahead of delivery in 2028.

Her exterior is the work of Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, whose evolution of the 55-metre Steel design trades the original vertical windows for a sleeker, more assertive profile. Horizontal lines and broad expanses of tinted glass enhance her visual length, while a distinctive shark-tooth motif on the wheelhouse overhang and a pillar-free superstructure aft keep the design clean and modern, delivering uninterrupted sea views from the sky lounge and main-deck dining area. The result is a yacht with real presence, muscular yet elegant, and unmistakably contemporary.

Beneath the styling lies the engineering that defines the class. An ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form, developed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, combines the fuel efficiency and long ocean-crossing range of a displacement yacht with excellent comfort, seaworthiness and stability in all conditions. Her sturdy steel hull and aluminium superstructure give her the solidity of a serious blue-water yacht, while twin MTU engines deliver a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising range well suited to extended voyaging.

Inside, Italian studio Luca Dini Design & Architecture has shaped a warm, traditional and welcoming interior, conceived for owners who intend to spend extended periods aboard or to charter frequently. A palette of soft, warm tones wraps guests in a sense of comfort and familiarity. The accommodation hosts twelve guests across six staterooms, including a spacious owner’s suite on the main deck forward with separate his-and-hers dressing rooms and bathrooms and a private veranda, four guest cabins on the lower deck and a VIP suite on the bridge deck, a layout that makes the 55-metre class particularly well suited to charter and to owners who value multiple cabins.

Exterior living is equally considered. A generous sundeck of around 110 square metres offers modular furniture, forward-facing seating for panoramic views, a bar and a spa, while a dedicated beach club aft, complete with windows and a sauna, functions as a quiet waterside retreat. Casual dining and lounging areas are distributed throughout, and a central elevator connects the decks for effortless movement on board.

With an asking price of EUR 64,000,000 and construction already under way, Project Jackie offers an incoming owner the chance to shape the specification and finish while benefiting from Heesen’s shortened delivery timelines and renowned Dutch craftsmanship. She combines proven performance, generous volume and genuine customisation in one of the most successful platforms in the modern market.

As part of a series refined over more than a decade, Project Jackie represents intelligent superyacht ownership: a resolved, efficient and beautifully built yacht available on a timeline few custom builds can match.
