Enterprise IV
1985
This is Enterprise IV
Corporate entertainment was the main theme on Enterprise IV. At 45.37 metres, she was the second Feadship for the Amway Corporation which used their yachts primarily to reward the top sellers of their soap products. Learning from their previous yacht, this larger Enterprise had a transom stern and boarding cockpit to provide more space and greater leisure possibilities for guests, a far larger entertainment area on the main deck and five identically sized, similarly furnished guest staterooms to ensure no conflicts could arise between the incentive-winning salespeople. Enterprise IV had excellent performance parameters and was sailed to Perth, Australia to serve as a spectator boat for the America’s Cup. It wouldn’t be their last Feadship.
