SOLEMATES

SOLEMATES is a 55-metre steel displacement yacht built by Heesen in 2025, registered under the Cayman Islands flag. As a newly delivered vessel, she represents the current state of Heesen's 55m Steel series, with exterior design by Omega Architects and interiors by LUCA DINI Design and Architecture — the latter a Florentine studio whose work spans residential, hospitality, and yacht interiors with consistent emphasis on material quality and spatial clarity. At 760 gross tonnes, she is a substantial vessel within her length class, and her construction date means guests can expect systems, safety equipment, and finishes to current MCA standards without the caveats that accompany older refitted vessels.

Accommodating 12 guests across six cabins with a crew of 14, the staffing level is appropriate for a vessel of this size and specification. SOLEMATES is particularly well suited to charter clients who place a premium on newness — whether in terms of technology, design, or the assurance of a hull and machinery that have not yet accumulated the operational history that older vessels carry. Her charter regions cover both the Mediterranean, including Croatia, Montenegro, and the Adriatic, and the Caribbean, with operations across Antigua, St Barts, Saint Martin, and the Virgin Islands. Her range of 4,500 nautical miles supports transatlantic positioning. She is not the right choice for guests who want a vessel with established character or provenance; a 2025 delivery has not yet accumulated the stories that older yachts carry.

Omega Architects' exterior work is in keeping with their established portfolio — disciplined, considered, and resolved — while LUCA DINI's interiors bring a warmth associated with Italian residential design translated into a maritime context. The beach club, bathing platform, deck jacuzzi, sauna, exterior bar, sun deck, and BBQ are among the amenities that give her strong on-anchor credentials. Full stabiliser systems at anchor and underway ensure comfort across all sea states.

The water sports inventory includes jet-skis, F9S Seabobs, kayaks, paddleboards, a wakesurf board, water-skiing, a sailing dinghy, towable toys, fishing equipment, and snorkelling gear — a well-rounded selection appropriate for active charter groups. As a newly launched charter yacht, SOLEMATES offers the relatively rare opportunity to be among the first guests aboard a vessel that has not yet been widely circulated in the market.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
