Heesen is pleased to announce the launch of YN 19755, formerly known as Project Gemini and now named MY Reliance. The vessel started as a speculative venture, and the client, introduced by Arcon Yachts Monaco, joined 15 months into the construction - early enough for Heesen’s engineering team to make some essential adjustments that allowed the owners to customize the yacht to their taste and lifestyle. The changes include an opening window in the master stateroom and a new layout for their bathroom, and delightful windows in the transom door to let natural light into the beach club.
“We are pleased that Heesen was able to meet yet another important milestone in the construction of this 55-meter. The experience of the shipyard in the construction of its Series yachts is an awesome guarantee for our clients. Time is priceless for our customers,” says Richard Kaye of Arcon Yachts. “Consequently, for us as the broker, it is invaluable that the shipyard can stick to the schedule. It reinforces our credibility and reassures the client about their choice.”
The choice of a shark grey hull for this yacht was made by the owners to give it a strong character. This perfectly matches the muscular exterior designed by Frank Laupman. The overhang of the superstructure features a distinctive “shark tooth” design which embellishes the profile and makes the Heesen 55-metre Steel design recognizable from far away.
Luca Dini Design and Architecture debuted with MY Reliance. The Italian designer and his team worked closely with the owners and Arcon’s project manager to adapt the design to their taste. Twelve guests are accommodated in six spacious staterooms, with the 82-square-meter owners’ apartment traditionally located on the main deck forward and the VIP on the bridge deck. The remaining guest cabins – two doubles and two twins – are on the lower deck.
