Heesen Yachts is pleased to announce the delivery of YN 20555, the 55-meter steel yacht Serena, marking the first delivery of 2025. Sold and project-managed by Arcon Yachts Monaco, Serena blends precision engineering with bespoke design
‘Their expertise ensured a smooth process from start to finish. Serena stands out as a unique blend of superyacht excellence and personal customisation,’ said Rick van de Wetering, Chief Operations Officer at Heesen Yachts.
Construction began in Spring 2022, with the experienced owners collaborating closely with Heesen engineers and Luca Dini’s design team to create a homely and welcoming interior. Seating arrangements and luxurious yet practical materials were carefully selected to enhance comfort.
Serena features a steel ultra-efficient fast displacement hull form (FDHF), offering a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots and a top speed of 15.5 knots. Designed by Omega Architects, the exterior complements Luca Dini’s interior vision, with accommodation for 12 guests across five staterooms.
‘We have fine-tuned the yacht with the owner, enhancing an already fantastic design. The result is a stylish and practical vessel tailored to the owner’s wishes,’ said Richard Kaye of Arcon Yachts Monaco.
Interior highlights include a main saloon divided into three areas with a fully equipped bar, a Sky Lounge with a custom games table, and a beach club illuminated by natural light. The sauna, upgraded with elegant wood finishes, adds to the yacht’s allure, while the 110 sqm sun deck offers versatile furniture arrangements.
The owner’s quarters on the main deck include a lounge, office space, and a full-beam cabin with a private veranda. The lower deck features four guest staterooms with unique marble details, while the bridge deck houses a gym that can be converted into an additional cabin.
‘Despite her size—55m with 760 GT of internal volume—she is incredibly responsive and manoeuvrable, offering both comfort and stability at sea,’ said shipyard captain Bob van Zundert.
