Air - Made to measure: 159 metres of custom Feadships launched on the same day
In an extraordinary day even by Feadship’s standards, Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw and Royal Van Lent each launched a giant Feadship for delighted owners on Saturday 26 March 2011. The 81-metre Air instantly becomes the largest Feadship available for charter in the world as well as being the largest yacht built by the De Vries Aalsmeer yard to date. The other launching was of hull #802, a 77.70-metre Feadship at Royal Van Lent. She has a very characteristic exterior styling, including a daring combination of a white hull with a metallic grey and blue superstructure.
Both the new Feadships are full-custom superyachts built for owners with very distinctive tastes. “It is interesting to note that while other major superyacht yards are increasingly focusing on semi-custom series yachts, Feadship continues to lead the way in bespoke and entirely unique projects,” comments Francis Vermeer, head of marketing at Feadship.
Dutch builder heads for Monaco and FLIBS with confidence
Feadship is performing better than ever. This year to date the world’s number one luxury motoryacht brand has launched six superyachts with a total length of 450 metres (that’s almost 1500 feet).
Four out of the thirteen new entries in the recently published Top 100 List by Yachts International magazine are Feadships: Musashi and Fountainhead (each at 87.78 metres), Air (81 metres) and Tango (77.70 metres). With the current build portfolio, including the first Feadship to break the 100-metre barrier, the brand continues to lead the way worldwide in having built the largest number of superyachts in the 60 to 100-metre size range.
Feadship Samax is just one of the many superyachts participating Asia's largest gathering of Superyachts.
Feadship is principal sponsor of the upcoming 2011 Asia Superyacht Rendezvous, which will be held from December 16 thru 18. The Asia Superyacht Rendezvous – the longest-running international superyachts event in Asia – is boasting the largest gathering of both power and sail superyachts in the region and is a major event on the superyacht calendar.
Guests and crew will enjoy three days on and off the water along with two race events, the sampling of Thailand’s culinary delights and taking in the natural beauty of its shores. The emphasis is on a fun gathering with some vessels departing afterwards to explore the Andaman seas during the holiday season.
Congratulations to everyone involved in these success stories…
The 2011 ShowBoats Design Awards in Fort Lauderdale were a cause for celebration for Feadship as ‘our’ yachts won no less than three of the prestigious Neptunes. The owners of the 68-metre Lady Christine were doubly delighted as their Feadship won the Interior Layout Award while interior designer Rodney Black took home the Newcomer of the Year Award for his amazing work on this project. Meanwhile, the lovely interior onboard the 55-metre Kahalani was the recipient of the Interior Design Award.
Feadship Super Yacht "Air" For Charter
Feadship is a cooperative venture between two shipyards (Royal van Lent and Royal De Vries) and maritime engineering company De Voogt Naval Architects.
Feadship is founded by two families, De Vries and Royal Van Lent, and has three shipyards in Aalsmeer, Makkum and Kaag and one design and engineering center, De Voogt Naval Architects.
After World War II the market for the previously successful industry was left in ruins. Even after four years of peace, there remained little money or inclination in Europe for ordering pleasure yachts. Encouraged by the Dutch government’s export incentives, Royal Van Lent Shipyard, De Vries Scheepsbouw and four other yards decided to set out their stall for the thriving American market. Read More…
