Rossinavi’s New 173-Foot Superyacht Gives the Owner Their Own Pool
After hitting the seas earlier this year, the 173-foot Heed has made her official debut.
The fully custom aluminum superyacht, which renowned Italian shipyard Rossinavi launched in January, has just been presented in her entirety at the Monaco Yacht Show.
“It has been an extremely stimulating project, one that will truly leave its mark on the market,” Federico Rossi, Rossinavi’s chief operating officer, said in a statement.
Heed was born out of a close collaboration between Rossinavi and the owner, with Alberto Mancini spearheading exterior design and Achille Salvagni executing the interiors. With a fast-displacement hull and a volume of under 500 GT, the yacht delivers space without sacrificing style.

“Working within the 499 GT threshold allowed us to rethink proportion and space with greater freedom,” explains Mancini.
Her silhouette is at once distinctive and timeless, with sleek architectural lines and balanced volumes. The metallic gray finish on the hull further accentuates that sculpted exterior, shifting with the light throughout the day.
Onboard, there is a natural flow between the interior and exterior, allowing the surrounding environment to become part of the yacht. The main salon is fully glazed to ensure uninterrupted ocean views, while the panoramic dining area is fitted with a fold-down balcony that opens to the water. The observation deck is yet another place to take in the scenery.
The owner’s suite is positioned forward on the upper deck, rather than on the main deck as is the norm. That creates a quieter, more intimate connection to the sea, according to Mancini. The owner’s suite opens to a panoramic outdoor space featuring a private pool designed for countercurrent swimming. The beach club is equipped with another pool, plus fold-out terraces that immerse guests in their surroundings.

The decor nods to the outdoor environment, too, with sofas that unfold like waves, armchairs that evoke pebbles and shells, and sculptural details that seem to grow from the walls and ceilings. The palette also skews natural, combining brushed, bleached wengé floors, bleached teak walls, and dark eucalyptus accents.
“I wanted the interior of this yacht to feel as though it had not been designed, but rather shaped by the forces that surround it—by water, wind, light, and time,” adds Salvagni.
As for grunt, Heed is powered by twin diesel Caterpillar C32 engines (totaling 2,230 hp) that give her a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 13 knots, and a range of 4,000 nautical miles. It also has an advanced onboard battery system for silent, emissions-free operation at anchor.
