Rossinavi has revealed the full design of Heed, a 53-meter (174-foot) full-aluminum superyacht launched earlier this year. Designed by Alberto Mancini Yacht Design, with interiors by Achille Salvagni Architetti, the yacht has less than 500 gross tons and a fast-displacement hull.

Outdoor spaces include a beach club with a pool and fold-down side platforms, plus a main-deck saloon with extensive glazing and a dining area that opens onto a fold-down starboard balcony. Forward on the upper deck, the owner’s suite has panoramic views and a private pool designed for swimming against the current. An elevated observation deck provides another secluded spot to take in the surroundings.

Salvagni’s interiors depart from conventional yacht layouts, separating the dining room from the main saloon. Curved seating, sculptural furnishings and flowing architectural forms establish an organic feel, while bleached wengé, teak, parchment and dark eucalyptus create contrast through texture and tone. Metallic accents in shades of copper, rose and deep red add color to the otherwise restrained palette.

A battery system allows heed to remain at anchor with its generators switched off, reducing noise and vibration while enabling zero local emissions in hotel mode.
