Heesen Yachts have launched motor yacht Quinta Essentia – a 55m superyacht. The newest superyacht from Heesen’s Yard in Holland had an official launching ceremony on Friday the 11th of March 2011. The 55m semi-displacement motor yacht Quinta Essentia (build number YN 14955) features naval architecture by Van Oossanen in conjunction with the Heesen Yachts in-house designers and exterior design by Frank Laupman of Omega. Interior design layout was carried out by the renowned Ken Freivokh, with interior design by Michela Reverberi. The owners, in collaboration with Dobroserdov Design, personally worked on the colour scheme, which features a combination of a custom metallic dark red Awlgrip paint that is combined with oyster white.
