Feadship 68m “Lady Christine IV” (2010 / 2025 Refit) | 6 Cabins | 5,000nm Range | Helipad | Cayman Flag | Falmouth, UK
Built by the world-renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 2010, with a comprehensive refit completed in 2025, this 68-metre custom motor yacht is a rare acquisition combining timeless design, robust Northern European engineering, and modern upgrades. Originally conceived under the project name “Lady Christine IV,” she was constructed to Lloyd’s Register standards with naval architecture and exterior styling by De Voogt and interiors by Rodney Black Design Studios. Cayman Islands flagged and offering 1,608 GT of volume, she delivers serious ocean-going capability with an amenity set that rivals many larger yachts—while maintaining access to a wide range of cruising grounds.
Construction, Form & Signature Exterior Features
Built on a displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, finished in classic white with teak decks across three levels, she showcases Feadship’s meticulous build quality. Principal dimensions include 68m LOA, 61m waterline length, 12.5m beam, and 3.6m draft, with a displacement of 1,458 tonnes. A raised foredeck and progressively elevated deck arrangement optimise interior volume and forward visibility. A defining design advantage is the fold-down hull terraces on both sides of the main deck dining area—extending usable deck space by approximately three metres when deployed, forming stable platforms even underway and creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor dining experience.

Handling, Comfort & Technical Integrity
A 200 kW Jastram bow thruster improves close-quarters manoeuvrability, while at-anchor stabilizers significantly reduce roll motion for enhanced comfort in variable conditions.

Electrical systems include shore-power connectivity, distribution panels, integrated breaker systems, and battery banks supporting hotel loads and operational equipment. Plumbing and holding systems support long-term cruising with grey/black water management, pumps, and heating installations. Safety equipment includes fire suppression in machinery spaces, portable extinguishers, life-saving appliances, and verified navigation instrumentation maintained in accordance with classification expectations.

Crew accommodation for up to 19 in 11 cabins (including captain) supports professional service standards for global cruising.
Interior Style & Social Spaces
Interior styling carries an early Art Deco influence, blending fine woods, glass, metal, and stone in a cohesive palette. The main salon includes engraved glass panels, custom marquetry, and bespoke furniture. The dining area integrates directly with the fold-down terraces—transforming formal dining into a dramatic indoor-outdoor venue with expanded sea-level engagement.
Amenities & Deck Lifestyle
Lifestyle highlights include a heated infinity swimming pool aft with waterfall feature and rapid-fill tank system, a deck jacuzzi, split-level sun deck, beach club with direct sea access, fully equipped gym, cinema theatre, piano lounge, and the owner’s study. A top-deck helipad finished in artificial teak adds operational flexibility for transfers and itinerary efficiency.
