Laurentia is the name of the ancient geological core

of North America, so it’s no surprise then that the

new Heesen yacht of that name has close ties to

the continent, including interior designer Radyca.

The firm, which has experience in residential,

commercial and yacht interior design, is located on

stylish Brickell Avenue in Miami.

The 180ft steel and aluminum yacht was built on

spec as Project Alida. Sold nearly complete in

March to her current owner, she was delivered six

months later. “It was an intense challenge to work

from the original design concept created by

Bannenberg & Rowell and modify it in such a short

period of time to suit the new owners’ needs and

taste,” says Radyca’s president, Ramon Alonso. “We

are very pleased with the results.”

With styling by Omega Architects and a fast

displacement hull by Van Oossanen, the 740GT

Laurentia reaches a top speed of 16.6 knots.
