2010
Venus2012
The 78-metre Venus was as ingeniously different as the man for whom she was built. The world’s first mastless motoryacht had her antennae and domes hidden within an architectural statement. The yacht also featured an unprecedented amount of glass with huge windows extending the length of all main deck staterooms and an all-glass pavilion deck that offers unprecedented vistas at sea.
Anna2018
This phenomenal 2018 launch for a repeat client is also the largest Feadship to date. The 110-metre Anna features a wide range of bespoke innovations such as diesel- electric propulsion, an aircraft landing pad, a stunning two-deck atrium, a giant health club and a football pitch.
Savannah2015
The world’s first hybrid motor-superyacht, Savannah made a clean sweep of all the industry awards in 2016. In addition to her eco-friendly propulsion, she was the largest object given a metallic paint livery to date (in Sea Foam green). Savannah’s awesome floating superstructure also won many hearts, as did the extraordinary interior with its semi-submerged Nemo room.
Symphony2015
Feadship crossed the 100-metre mark in 2015 with the spectacular Symphony. As the first superyacht to sail under the Passenger Yacht Code, she is allowed to carry up to 36 guests. There are around 200 different finishes in Symphony‘s remarkable interior, of all which had to be certified for fire resistance by class in a masterful synergy of artisanship and engineering.
Milestone
One of the highlights of 2019 for Feadship will undoubtedly be the opening of its fourth yard. Based in the vibrant Dutch capital of Amsterdam, the facility will include a hall for building new superyachts of up to 160 metres in length along with refits of existing Feadships. A further 150 specialists will join the 2000-plus experts already creating the world’s finest motoryachts,
Joy2016
Built for the youngest owner to date, the 70-metre Joy offers an unprecedented amount of outdoor space for all members of the family for whom she was created and the maximum length possible for a gross tonnage of around 1000 GT. Her super-cool looks were created with Bannenberg & Rowell in the first joint exterior design since Jon Bannenberg’s death in 2002.
Personalities
When the International Superyacht Society presented Feadship directors Henk and Tom de Vries with the prestigious Leadership Award several years ago, the committee of peers and competitors succinctly summarised the decades-long service of the two cousins: “They have an extraordinary ability to believe: to believe that it can and it will happen.”
When Dick van Lent retired in 2016 as CEO of the Royal Van Lent yard, everyone knew he would be a hard act to follow. Jan-Bart Verkuyl has since successfully taken over the helm, leveraging on a career in the maritime world that saw him join Feadship in 2006.
Since joining Feadship as a director in 2013, Farouk Nefzi has taken the marketing and branding strategy to a whole new level. The diverse elements within the organisation have been brought even closer together under the ‘One Feadship’ umbrella.
