The world of high-end yachting has a new jewel on the horizon. Heesen Yachts has announced the upcoming delivery of its latest 180-foot steel superyacht, Project Frida, available as soon as February 2026. With a price tag of €57.9 million (approximately $67 million), Frida represents a rare opportunity: a newly built Dutch superyacht, ready for owners without the typical multi-year waiting period.
A Turn-Key Superyacht for Serious Exploration
For discerning buyers looking to cruise the world’s most remote waters with ease, Frida is the complete package. Built as part of Heesen’s acclaimed 55-meter Steel series, she features a fast displacement hull engineered by Van Oossanen. This advanced design increases fuel efficiency and optimises stability, allowing Frida to reach:
- Top speed: 15.5 knots
- Range: 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots
This seamless blend of endurance, power, and efficiency gives owners the freedom to explore both secluded destinations and iconic Mediterranean ports with equal ease.
Exterior Design That Balances Strength and Elegance
Frida’s exterior styling, crafted by Omega Architects, reflects Heesen’s mastery of functional beauty. Sharp lines, a sleek bow, and the distinctive “shark tooth” superstructure create a bold, commanding profile while maintaining a timeless elegance that will turn heads in every marina.
A Contemporary Interior of Quiet Luxury
Inside, Frida is a sanctuary of calm. Designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture, the interiors embrace a refined aesthetic defined by:
- Neutral color palettes
- Rich mahogany accents
- Generous natural light
The full-beam owner’s suite, spanning nearly 830 square feet, is located on the main deck and includes:
- Private study
- Walk-in wardrobe
- Terrace access
- Stone-clad en suite with dual basins
Five additional guest cabins—two twins, two doubles, and a bridge deck suite—ensure comfort and privacy for all on board, supported by seven crew cabins for professional service.
Spaces Designed for Life at Sea
Across three expansive decks, Frida offers multiple areas for relaxation and entertainment:
- 1,900 sq. ft. sundeck with Jacuzzi
- Beach club and swim platform
- Forward lounge and tender storage
- Main deck salon and bridge deck sky lounge
Whether hosting evening cocktails overlooking the water or relaxing privately with horizon views, Frida offers flexibility and luxury that caters to every lifestyle.
A Rare Opportunity for Ownership
With launch completed in August and final outfitting underway, Frida is one of the only 180-foot Dutch superyachts available for swift delivery, making her stand out in a market where new-build wait times can stretch years.
For those seeking a yacht that embodies engineering excellence, contemporary sophistication, and genuine ocean-going capability, Heesen’s Project Frida is a masterpiece ready to be claimed.
