Yacht de Luxe
Feadship 55m
1997
Pleinement Opérationnel
Originally delivered in 1997 by the world-renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship and extensively refitted in 2022, this 55-metre full displacement motor yacht presents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic pedigree superyacht that has been modernised for today’s ownership expectations while preserving her enduring elegance. Designed with naval architecture by De Voogt and exterior and interior styling by Terence Disdale, the yacht represents the kind of deeply considered craftsmanship and design maturity that continues to define the upper end of the brokerage market. Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she is built on a full displacement platform that prioritises comfort, structural integrity, and serious long-range cruising capability. With an overall length of 55 metres, waterline length of 47 metres, beam of 9.6 metres, draft of 3.2 metres, gross tonnage of 822 GT, and substantial fuel and freshwater capacity, she offers the scale, stability, and internal volume required for global cruising in genuine comfort.
Pedigree Build, Design Lineage & Refit Strength
Feadship, De Voogt, and Terence Disdale together form one of the strongest combinations in superyacht pedigree, and that heritage is strongly evident here. The yacht’s original build quality is anchored in Dutch engineering excellence, while the 2022 refit ensures that she remains relevant and competitive in the modern market. Her white hull and superstructure create a clean, timeless profile, and the three teak-finished decks support both visual refinement and practical durability. Built in compliance with Lloyd’s Register technical standards and registered under the Malta flag, this yacht combines respected structural integrity with internationally practical registry status, making her well suited to global private ownership or premium charter deployment.
Performance, Range & Ocean-Going Capability
The yacht is powered by twin Caterpillar 3512 Di TA diesel engines, each producing 1,270 horsepower, for a combined output of 2,540 horsepower delivered through twin screw propulsion. This configuration enables a top speed of approximately 15 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots. One of her strongest technical advantages is her transoceanic range of around 5,500 nautical miles at cruising speed, supported by a fuel capacity of 100,000 litres and freshwater storage of 24,000 litres. This makes her exceptionally well suited to long-distance programs, remote cruising grounds, and owners who value endurance and serious offshore capability over short-range coastal limitation.
Engineering Systems & Technical Reliability
Engineering has clearly been developed around reliability and efficient long-term operation. Fuel filtration, cooling systems, and exhaust arrangements are engineered to support consistent performance and reduced operational disturbance, while stabilizers operating underway and at anchor significantly improve onboard comfort in both open-water and anchored scenarios. A bow thruster enhances maneuverability in marinas and confined docking environments. The engine room is arranged for access and service efficiency, with clearly organised machinery spaces and robust mounting systems that help minimise vibration and wear. Electrical systems include multiple battery banks, distribution panels, inverter/charger units, and shore power integration, while plumbing systems support all essential hotel and technical functions through pumps, heaters, bilge systems, and compliant waste-management infrastructure.
Owner’s Suite & Guest Accommodation
Accommodation for up to 14 guests across six cabins gives this yacht strong family and charter flexibility. The standout space is the full-beam owner’s suite, which is enhanced by a private observation lounge and dedicated office, creating an exceptional owner’s retreat with panoramic forward views and a level of privacy rarely found aboard yachts of comparable vintage. Additional guest cabins are arranged in a combination of double and twin configurations, all with en-suite bathrooms finished in quality materials including marble and fine wood. The overall accommodation concept is both elegant and practical, allowing the yacht to host larger groups without compromising comfort.
Crew Facilities & Operational Service Support
The yacht accommodates up to 14 crew across six cabins, including a dedicated captain’s cabin. This level of crew support allows for strong operational standards, excellent guest service, and effective departmental structure for deck, engineering, interior, and galley teams. For buyers considering charter activity or extensive owner use, this is a major operational strength and helps support the vessel’s larger-capacity guest program.
Interior Living Areas & Onboard Ambience
The main salon is a gracious and welcoming central social space, defined by generous windows, natural light, elegant furnishings, hardwood flooring, and a formal dining area suitable for more refined onboard entertaining. The upper deck salon provides a more relaxed secondary living area, styled with modern accents and a softer atmosphere for informal gatherings, film nights, or private retreat. Throughout the yacht, the design language reflects a mature, enduring standard of superyacht luxury rather than trend-driven fashion, which strengthens her long-term appeal and helps preserve her value in the brokerage market.
Exterior Entertaining, Wellness & Water Access
Exterior areas have been thoughtfully configured to maximise comfort, entertainment, and usability. The sun deck includes a jacuzzi, sauna, outdoor shower, sunpads, and a fully equipped bar, creating a complete top-deck leisure zone suited to both private enjoyment and charter use. Upper deck alfresco dining enhances the onboard lifestyle further, while the aft beach club and swim platform create direct access to the water for swimming, tender boarding, and waterside relaxation. A touch-and-go helipad adds a valuable element of flexibility for guest access, logistics, or operational support.
Tenders, Toys & Supporting Inventory
The yacht is also well equipped in terms of support craft and onboard leisure capacity, with storage for multiple tenders including an 8.84-metre custom tender, a 5.79-metre Novurania, and a 3.66-metre Zodiac. These craft support everything from guest transfers and shore access to watersports and backup operational requirements. Additional guest amenities such as satellite TV, Wi-Fi, gym facilities, and full air conditioning help ensure that the yacht remains fully aligned with modern comfort expectations.
Refit Significance, Ownership Value & Acquisition Potential
The 2022 refit is especially important in reinforcing this yacht’s market appeal. Exterior repainting, new teak decking, and broader system enhancements have helped preserve both presentation and operational competitiveness, allowing the yacht to offer a rare blend of vintage pedigree and present-day relevance. Her Malta registration, respected design pedigree, strong range, generous guest capacity, and robust engineering all contribute to making her a particularly attractive proposition for private ownership, extended family cruising, or charter service. Few yachts combine Feadship pedigree, 55-metre scale, transoceanic range, and recent refit status as convincingly as this one.
