Rossinavi launches 53m Heed in Italy

Following on from the world premiere of its 50m Bel1 last September, the Italian shipyard has launched the 53m Heed.
Rossinavi, founded and owned by the Rossi family, has splashed the full-custom 53m Heed in Pisa. An all-aluminum, fast-displacement superyacht, Heed features exterior design by Alberto Mancini Yacht Design, interior design by Achille Salvagni Architetti and naval architecture by Arrabito.
The owner’s representative, Matty Zadnikar of SeaNet SuperYachts, is coordinating the designers and the construction process as the Belgian oversees the build of the grey-hulled Heed, which has a beam of 9.1m and a maximum draft of 2.5m.
Alberto Mancini, founder of Alberto Mancini Yacht Design, carefully considered the yacht’s living spaces and layouts as he worked on designing a 53m-long yacht with a sub-500GT volume.
“Working within the 499GT 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,” Mancini said. “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.”
Situated forward on the upper deck, the owner’s suite offers panoramic views and has access to a private outdoor space that includes a pool designed for counter-current swimming. There’s also a pool in the aft beach club, which features fold-down side platforms for expanded space over the water.
Other outdoor areas include an open ‘observation deck’ designed as an exclusive lookout point, offering elevated views and a quiet space for relaxation above the bridge deck.
Indoor areas include a spacious, fully glazed main saloon that presents uninterrupted sea views and abundant natural light. The main deck also includes a panoramic dining area that benefits from a starboard-side fold-down balcony, creating an indoor-outdoor dining experience.
Technology includes an onboard battery system that allows silent, emission-free operation at anchor with the generators switched off.
Federico Rossi (Leaders, Issue 85), Rossinavi’s COO, said: “Heed 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.”
