Moskito is a 55 m motor yacht built by Heesen in 2021, for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 13 crew. Charter from €350,000 per week in summer (Croatia, Italy and Malta); in winter from US$350,000 (Antigua, Saint Martin and St Barths), plus expenses.
A Heesen 55 Steel with an 82 m² owner's suite, a sauna and hammam off the beach club and a crew who film your week and hand over the footage.
Moskito started life on spec as Project Pollux. She hit the water in August 2020 and stayed unsold for only about four weeks; delivery to her British owner followed in the spring of 2021. She belongs to Heesen's 55-metre Steel series: Frank Laupman of Omega Architects drew the exterior, Van Oossanen supplied the fast displacement hull, and Bannenberg & Rowell did the interior.
Inside she is quietly expensive rather than loud. Floors are smoked oak in a chevron pattern, the marble comes in white Thassos, grey St Laurent and ivory travertine, and bronze appears only in small accents. Forward on the main deck, 82 square metres from one side of the hull to the other belong to the owner's suite. Unusually among her sisters, the VIP cabin is one level higher, on the wheelhouse deck, which gives whoever sleeps there real distance from the rest of the party.
Wellness happens at water level, where a sauna and a hammam open off the beach club. Up top there are roughly 100 square metres of sun deck, a big Jacuzzi at the front end, room to eat in the open and a hardtop that throws shade. The crew add more than service: some teach yoga and Pilates, some will join guests for tennis or a round of golf ashore, Starlink keeps everyone online, and with your permission they shoot the week on GoPro and drone and give you the edited footage on the last day.
Moskito is a good match for parents with older children, or friends travelling together, who want a recent yacht that is calm, well run and balanced between sport and rest. Anyone looking for a party boat with loud colours and a nightclub atmosphere will find her too restrained.
