55m Heesen SOLEMATES Sets Charter From €430,000 a Week

The 55-metre Heesen SOLEMATES is currently offered by Y.CO for summer charter from €430,000 per week, with a winter programme beginning at $430,000. Delivered in 2025, the 760GT-class steel yacht accommodates 12 guests in six suites and combines a beach club with dedicated wellness spaces.

Six-suite charter layout

Y.CO lists SOLEMATES for 12 guests in six cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite and five additional guest suites. Heesen’s own arrangement specifies one VIP, two double guest suites and two twin suites alongside the owner’s apartment.

The current charter presentation emphasises generous family-oriented interiors and multiple spaces that can operate independently during longer trips. A crew of 14 is listed by Y.CO, while Heesen’s build specification records accommodation for 13 crew within the original platform.

Beach club and wellness spaces

A wide swim platform leads into a beach club equipped with a sauna and gym, according to the current Y.CO charter profile. The sun deck adds a whirlpool and substantial exterior lounging space, giving the yacht separate areas for waterside access and elevated relaxation.

That arrangement sits within Heesen’s 55-metre Steel series rather than a one-off experimental platform, allowing the owner’s custom choices to build on an established technical base. The shipyard describes the exterior by Omega Architects as muscular, with long horizontal glazing defining the profile.

FDHF efficiency and range

Heesen records SOLEMATES with its Fast Displacement Hull Form and a design range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots. Twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines are specified, with IMO Tier III compliance incorporated into the propulsion package.

The builder gives a maximum speed of 15.5 knots and approximately 760GT of volume, while Y.CO publishes a rounded maximum of 16 knots. Those figures describe a long-range displacement yacht focused more on efficient passage-making and onboard volume than high-speed transfers.

Summer and winter rates

Y.CO currently quotes summer charter from €430,000 per week and winter charter from $430,000 per week. The broker promotes Mediterranean itineraries, while final location and availability depend on the yacht’s operational schedule and confirmed bookings.

Weekly base rates should not be treated as an all-inclusive cost because taxes, fuel, food, berthing and other expenses are normally additional. Charterers should obtain a dated proposal for their chosen itinerary before comparing SOLEMATES with other yachts in the 50-to-60-metre sector.
