Capri was the first Feadship to truly achieve international acclaim. At 16.76-metres, she was the largest yacht on display at the 1953 National Motor Boat Show in New York and ultimately crowned ‘Queen of the Show’, the first foreign-made vessel to earn the accolade. Some 30,000 visitors a day flocked to see Capri, marvelling that such a beautifully constructed and finished boat could be available at such a reasonable price.
