Does Feadship build semi-custom or series yachts?

No. Feadship builds fully custom yachts, each designed for a specific owner. Some share engineering principles or come from the same yard and design team, but there is no production range. For buyers, that means comparing individual yachts on their own merits, with build yard, designer, refit history and documentation carrying more weight than a model name.

Which Feadship yard built a particular yacht?

Feadship yachts are built at the Royal Van Lent and De Vries yards, with naval architecture by De Voogt. The build yard is recorded in the yacht's documentation and is usually easy to confirm. Buyers often ask because it helps place the yacht within a family of sister projects and informs what a surveyor should look at closely.

Can a Feadship be sold without public marketing?

Yes. Many Feadship sales are handled discreetly, with the yacht introduced only to qualified buyers and trusted brokers. Daniel discusses the owner's preference for privacy at the outset and can move to wider marketing later if that is what the owner wants. His off-market guide explains the approach.

About Feadship

Feadship took shape in 1949 as a cooperative of Dutch yards set up to take their craft to owners abroad. Today it rests on two family-rooted shipbuilders, Royal Van Lent, with yards at Kaag and Amsterdam, and Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw, at Aalsmeer and Makkum, supported by the in-house naval architecture studio De Voogt. Royal Van Lent has been part of LVMH since 2008, while the Feadship name and its way of working have stayed distinctly Dutch.

There is no catalog. Each yacht begins as a conversation between owner, designer and yard, and the result carries a hull number and a personality that no other yacht shares. Feadship is known for engineering discipline, deep paint finishes, quiet machinery spaces and an appetite for technical firsts, from early hybrid propulsion to hydrogen fuel cells.

That combination gives the brand a particular standing on the brokerage market. Many owners return to the yard for a second or third build, and experienced captains tend to speak of Feadships with a mix of respect and affection.

Feadship yacht models

Because every Feadship is custom, it is more useful to know a few landmark yachts than a model list. These examples show the range of the yard's work.

Savannah (2015)An 83.5-meter yacht remembered for pioneering hybrid propulsion at superyacht scale.
Symphony (2015)A 101.5-meter yacht that marked Feadship's arrival in the 100-meter class.
Anna (2018)A 110-meter yacht from the Makkum yard, among the largest in the fleet at her delivery.
Breakthrough (2025)A 118.8-meter yacht built around hydrogen fuel cells, the largest Feadship at her delivery.

Buying a Feadship yacht

Buying a pre-owned Feadship is largely a matter of understanding one yacht's history. Which yard built her, who designed the exterior and interior, and how the refit work since delivery was specified and carried out all shape what she is today. A survey team that knows Dutch custom construction is worth the time, with close attention to paint and fairing, stabilizers, class records and the condition of systems that may have been upgraded more than once.

Running a yacht of this caliber is a serious undertaking, and a Feadship usually arrives with an established captain, crew structure and maintenance rhythm. Many trade between the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean or Florida in winter, so flag, class and charter status deserve early discussion. Daniel's buying guide covers the sequence from offer to closing.

Selling a Feadship yacht

A Feadship is valued against a thin set of true comparables: yachts of similar size, age, yard and refit history. Daniel builds that picture from sold results rather than asking prices, then weighs the qualities that matter to this audience, such as build documentation, maintenance records and the reputation of the yacht among captains. A dedicated guide to selling a Feadship goes into more detail.

Many Feadship owners prefer that a sale stays quiet. Daniel can present a yacht privately to a short list of qualified buyers and their representatives, or, when the owner wishes, market her worldwide with cooperating brokers and a presence at Monaco, Cannes and Fort Lauderdale. Either way, preparation starts with the paperwork, the survey history and a clear account of recent yard work.

Commissioning a Feadship is a multi-year relationship with a yard that often has its building slots committed well ahead. Daniel can help an owner think through the brief, introduce designers and an experienced owner's representative, and coordinate the early conversations with the yard, always as an independent adviser working for the client.
