Quinta Essentia is a project conceived by the company Nakhimov and Heesen Yachts, this is a ship built entirely of aluminum to 55 meters in length which has the power to reach a speed of 24 knots through its pair of diesel engines MTU 20V 4000 M93L of 4,300 KW.

The exterior design is properly described with the word elegance, it has abundant curves; the pearl white color gives it luxurious appearance and wine nuanced details refine an aesthetic of traditional and avant-garde.

Inside, the design follows a thematic line: the conception of fifth element. This craft the refers to the philosophy of the four Greek elements to create a classic equilibrium concept with a sophisticated touch that is particularly evident in the decorations.

 

 

 

All across the covers there are references to water, air, earth and fire, leaving to the owner the interpretation of the assignment of the fifth and last. The main room is the symbolic synthesis of all elements and has a larger size than the others; it even has a private balcony, something new on a yacht Heesen. For guests there are two large cabins that can be converted into a single VIP, there is also a room with double bed, one with twin beds and an additional VIP.

The interior decoration was done by the inspiration of Ken and Michela Reverberi Freivokh; they created a minimalist, very clean atmosphere, with a palette of colors ranging from purple to wine, carefully applied finishes on furniture, avoiding to fall in saturation and creating wide spaces, pleasing to the eye.

Upon entering the stern a four-meter pool with a waterfall is installed; behind it there are a number of chairs arranged in “U” shape, a television and a small central bar with three chairs, it is an ideal place to be in contact with the water element.

 

 

 

The lounge has also a television and a purple crescent moon shaped sofa, behind there is a wooden table with two chairs and white pillows decorated with engraved flowers, it is a place where the earth element manifests.

The dining room consists of a circular table and twelve chairs, it is a compact space which concentrates all the possible comfort to enjoy the lunch, and is by far the most luxurious part of the yacht. A circle-shaped lamp adds the yellow light that dominates the site, proper of the sun and of the heat of the fire where food is prepared, one of the gifts provided by the fire element.

In the bow, there are five chairs and a table in a half circle with seats arranged in the same way; it is an area to enjoy a drink and appreciate the refreshing qualities of the wind element.

Rooms for the gym and spa are equally cared for, including a sauna and a massage room. The auxiliary platform is able to dive to simplify launching and hoisting on board.

Some philosophers and alchemists of ancient times conceived the idea of ether as an element that transcended the other four, it was a substance whose nature allowed it to be lighter and fill all the gaps, just like the comfort that is felt in each corner of Quinta Essentia
