The new Rossinavi 53-meter full-custom, full-aluminum superyacht features exterior design by Alberto Mancini Yacht Design and interior design by Achille Salvagni Architetti.

Rossinavi launches in Pisa one of their latest projects, M/Y HEED, born from a fruitful collaboration between the Italian shipyard and Alberto Mancini Yacht Design, responsible for the vessel's exterior design, with interiors design by Achille Salvagni Architetti.

M/Y HEED is Rossinavi's latest 53-metre fast-displacement superyacht. The close and energetic exchange with the client, combined with Rossinavi's expertise, proved highly fruitful. The process was further supported by the Owner's Representative, Matty Zadnikar of SeaNet SuperYachts, who carefully coordinated the designers and the construction process.

Among the key features of this yacht are:

  • A beach club area featuring a pool and fold-down side platforms, enhancing direct contact with the sea and expanding the usable outdoor space.
  • A spacious main saloon on the main deck, fully glazed to ensure uninterrupted sea views and abundant natural light.
  • A panoramic dining area on the main deck, equipped with a starboard-side fold-down balcony, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience.
  • A forward Owner's cabin located on the upper deck, benefiting from enhanced panoramic views and featuring a private outdoor area with a dedicated swimming pool.
  • An observation deck designed as an exclusive lookout point, offering elevated views and a quiet space for relaxation or contemplation.
  • An onboard battery system allowing operation at anchor with the generators switched off, enhancing onboard comfort and quietness.
"It has been an extremely stimulating project, one that will truly leave its mark on the market. With generous open spaces, a panoramic owner's cabin and a large pool, it is a yacht designed to be lived on, where functionality leads without compromising on style." states Federico Rossi, Chief Operating Officer of Rossinavi.

The exterior design of M/Y HEED expresses a contemporary approach to luxury, defined by clarity, proportion, and restraint. Clean architectural lines and balanced volumes give the yacht a confident presence, ensuring it remains elegant at rest and dynamic under way, with a silhouette that is both distinctive and timeless.

Reflecting the key points outlined above, the exterior design of the upper deck features a forward upper deck fully dedicated to the owner and conceived as a private outdoor space in direct dialogue with the sea. Here, a forward deck pool is positioned directly ahead of the Owner's suite, designed not only for relaxation but also for swimming against the current. This elevated area offers privacy while maintaining openness toward the horizon.

The metallic grey hull finish enhances the sculpted geometry of M/Y HEED, emphasizing the interaction between light and shadow across its refined surfaces. Subtle and modern, the color highlights the purity of the design and allows the yacht's character to shift naturally throughout the day.

"Working within the 499 GT threshold allowed us to rethink proportion and space with greater freedom. Placing the owner's suite forward on the upper deck creates a quieter, more intimate connection with the sea, while the metallic grey hull reveals the beauty of the yacht's clean, sculpted surfaces through a delicate play of light and shadow throughout the day." said Alberto Mancini, Founder of Alberto Mancini Yacht Design.
