Predator
2008
Her iconic reverse bow – the first Feadship, in fact, with an axe-bow – appalled many a purist at the time of her launch, but it also delivered a wave-piercing performance the likes of which had never been seen before. The 72.80-meter Predator broke many records – the tallest engine room, the longest uninterrupted interior views, the largest draught and an unprecedented four-engine propulsion package. Despite all this, she’s among the quietest Feadships ever built whose super-slender hull contains a fully equipped dive centre with a space-saving inflatable decompression chamber.
