MOSKITO

Delivered in 2021 by Heesen Yachts, Moskito offers power, performance and huge interior volume for a 180ft (55m) yacht. Moskito’s Fast Displacement Hull Form designed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects makes her exceptionally fuel-efficient for long passages and shorter cruising.

A contemporary interior by the esteemed Bannenberg & Rowell studio is paired with a beach club gym, sauna and steam room. As the fifth incarnation in Heesen’s successful 55-metre Steel Class this Dutch pedigree yacht possesses enlarged guest cabins, an 82sqm master suite and a range of 4,500 nautical miles for endless days spent cruising the big blue.

Alongside a wave-piercing bow, Moskito impresses with her exterior deck space. For sun worshippers, the 100sqm sun deck offers far-reaching panoramic views. Guests can take a dip in the jacuzzi, dine al fresco on the onboard chef’s gourmet delicacies or seek solace from the midday sun under the shaded hardtop.

Reflecting the modern trend for an innovative use of onboard glass, the full-beam sky lounge delivers panoramic vistas in a cosy, light-filled setting. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors lead directly to the bridge deck aft where further exterior dining options can be found.

When underway, few places rival the bow seating area for authentic, wind-swept exhilaration. But it’s in the lower deck spa, accessed via the beach club, where Moskito’s amenities come alive. Move from ocean to sauna in just a few steps. Soak up the zen ambience on sun loungers or indulge in some early morning yoga to feel energised throughout the day.

Ideal for families, groups and romantic getaways, Moskito’s large water toy collection makes on the water exploration an every-day occurrence. Zero-speed stabilisers mean even the choppiest of anchorages are a comfortable onboard experience. Offering privacy and space, 12 guests are accommodated in six cabins. A VIP cabin is found on the bridge deck, while the full-beam owner’s suite is located on the main deck forward. Wake up to the surprise of a new horizon each morning from the comfort of a king-sized bed.

Throughout the interior, dark eucalyptus and pale sycamore joinery marry smoked oak chevron parquet flooring and an earthy palette of taupes, browns and creams. Interiors lovers will note the barefoot comfort of white Thassos marble flooring in the owner’s suite bathroom.

Two MTU Tier-III compliant diesel engines deliver a virtually silent, reduced emissions cruise experience with a top speed of 15.5 knots. And all wrapped up in a steel-hulled yacht of 757 gross tons for the ultimate charter offering.
