Which Superyacht is Right for You?

The type of superyachts best suited for you depends on the on-water experience you want. You may want power and speed, ensuring a motor-powered superyacht is right for you. Alternatively, you may want to feel the wind pushing you across the water, so a sailing yacht is best suited for your needs. In either respect, the most popular superyachts feature incredible amenities, top performance and exceptional design that allows them to retain their value for resale or charter.

When choosing the ideal superyacht, you – with the help of your broker – will weigh various options and features, including style, type of yacht, build pedigree, crew layout, facilities, décor and more. Whether you are looking for a large, modern motor yacht or a classically styled gentlemen’s yacht, Northrop & Johnson has a wide selection of superyacht types available for sale.

When buying or building a yacht, remember: first and foremost, your yacht is for you and your family or friends to use. What type of experience and use are you looking for in your ownership? Are you interested in a new or used yacht? Custom built or semi-custom? How are you planning to use your yacht? If you are planning to charter your yacht to help offset some of the running costs, then factor in the charterer, but remember, a yacht is very personal and you must consider your own needs as a priority.

Types of Superyachts

The type of yacht will shape the experience for the owner. The most popular superyachts (be they sail or motor) have a combination of elements that make them strong across the board both during ownership and in resale value and charter success. From the style and type of yacht and the build pedigree to the crew layout, the facilities and even the décor, there are many factors that, when combined, influence the enjoyment of yacht ownership. Whether you are looking for a large, modern motor yacht or a classically styled gentlemen’s yacht, Northrop & Johnson has a wide selection of superyacht types available for sale. When buying or building a yacht, remember that first and foremost your yacht is for you and your family or friends to use. What type of experience and use are you looking for in your ownership?

Feadship Yachts For Sale

Based in the Netherlands with roots reaching back to 1849, Feadship is one of an elite group of yacht builders that can truly say they build custom superyachts. The Feadship name, an acronym of First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders, is synonymous with experience, quality, and luxury. Originally a group of six Dutch shipyards, the Feadship family today is comprised of the Royal Van Lent Shipyard, the De Vries Group, De Voogt Naval Architects, and have become one of Netherland’s most elite yacht builders delivering amazingly opulent superyachts from 130ft to over 300ft in length.

Feadship is recognized as the world leader in pure custom superyacht builds; each bespoke Feadship is a single-model yacht, as individual as the owner who commissioned her. Each design project begins with a blank canvas and entails creating a magnificent motor yacht that is unlike any other in the world, a one-off luxury yacht that exclusively and uniquely reflects the character and intended use of each client. The Feadship design philosophy is to begin fresh and assume that everything is possible; solutions, not sacrifices are the key to make a client’s vision become a reality.

Royal Van Lent Shipyard (one of the Royal Dutch Shipyards group), builder of the high-end Feadship brand is one of the many luxury lifestyle houses of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), the global leader in select luxury brands. The century-long heritage and ultimate fusion of style, performance, and perfect craftsmanship of the bespoke Feadship yachts is in perfect synergy with the LVMH business model of long-term vision, values, heritage, creativity, and excellence driving current and future success. The Feadship Group was formed in 1949 as a marketing partnership of six Dutch shipyards—de Vries Lentch, Van de Stadt, Witsen & Vis, Akerboom, De Vries Schoepsbouw, and Van Lent Shipyard, plus De Voogt Naval Architects.

After WWII collapsed the European market for recreational vessels, the Van Lent family envisioned an opportunity with the booming American market and introduced Feadship to the American public at the 1951 New York Boat Show, impressing Show judges and clients with the high quality and especially, with the skillful use of steel and aluminum, which was rarely used by North American yacht builders at that time. As orders poured in, Feadship no longer built wooden boats after 1955 and was firmly established in the American market, having attracted the attention of the wealthy and famous, including publishing magnate, Malcolm Forbes, who commissioned the first of his three Feadships named The Highlander, in 1957. Today many of these classic yachts from the 1960s are leading members of the Feadship Heritage Fleet, an independently operated owners group established in 2013 for social gatherings.

In addition to new custom superyacht construction, Feadship designs and builds custom Tenders for continuity with the Feadship experience and offers dedicated charter and refit services exclusively for Feadships. To maintain brand value, Feadship offers a Certificate of Authenticity program by Feadship experts to owners and captains for a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of older Feadships. Those that have been maintained to builder standards of perfection will be presented the Feadship Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring brand value to a buyer of a preowned Feadship.

As of 9/22/21 there are about three dozen Feadship yachts listed for sale in the USA, Bahamas, and Europe, and Asia. Below are some stats regarding currently available preowned Feadships. Currencies fluctuate with Foreign Exchange rates; listed prices are not exact, but an indication of the high value retained by these exceptional yachts.

Of the two classic Feadships from the 1950s, the 1957 Feadship 90ft Sailing Vessel in the Netherlands is the oldest, priced at about $2,334,000. The 1958 Feadship 83ft Motoryacht in France is listed at about $1,038,000.

There are 11 classic yachts from the 1960s and 1970s, ranging in length from the 1965 53ft van Lent in the Netherlands priced at about $557,000 to the timeless 1975 145ft Custom Motor Yacht priced at about $17,600,000.

Eleven custom Feadship Motor Yachts from the 1980s and 1990s range in length from the 1984 87ft Gentlemen’s Sport Yacht in Newport, RI priced at nearly $6million to the 158ft 1997 Tri Deck MY in Cannes, France at about $14,900,000 and the 1986 162ft Tri Deck MY in Newport, RI for about $8,500,000.

The final group of 11 Feadship Motor Yachts from years 2000 to 2020 range in length from the 2016 111ft custom motor yacht in Hong Kong priced at about $18,800,000 to the 2007 220ft custom motor yacht in Italy for about $63,400,000. The highest priced Feadship superyacht on the market is the 2013 203ft custom motor yacht asking about $104,447,000.

Some of the most unusual and famous Feadship superyachts are VENUS, a high-tech, ultra-private yacht built for the late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, Inc. and launched in 2012; COMO/LADY MAY launched 2014, is one of the most innovative 138ft superyachts (along with VENUS), for the utilization of glass technology; launched in 2007, the 218ft PREDATOR with x-bow was designed for a client wanting a sport yacht look and speed—planing hull can hit 28 knots; MADAME GU, 297ft Feadship launched in 2013, also features a long sporty profile, but on a full-displacement hull—named Motor Yacht of the Year in 2014 World Superyacht Awards; launched in 2015, SYMPHONY is one of Feadships largest at 304ft—features a dark blue hull and 18ft contraflow pool; famous Feadship HIGHLANDER, was built for publisher Malcolm Forbes in 1967 (first of three) and is one of the most beautiful classic yachts; winner of Motor Yacht of the Year 2016 World Superyachts Awards, SAVANNAH was launched in 2015 and features CG Designs’ ground-breaking interior of curved walls and corridors, rich woods, intricate stonework, and 50 sliding doors, along with the clean, elegant exterior by Feadships’ De Voogt Naval Architects and the eco-friendly Breathe hybrid propulsion developed by Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards in 2010; AQUARIUS, the 276ft ultra-quiet Feadship superyacht commissioned by hospitality magnate, Steve Wynn was designed and engineered to his exacting standards—features crew quarters for a staff of 31 and seven staterooms by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design for 14 guests.

Each Feadship superyacht is built by the world’s top echelon of maritime architects, designers, engineers, craftsmen in all disciplines to create these exceptional yachts to last and hold their value and share the same vision and standard of perfection as the Feadship owners. Feadship’s innovation and creativity as a world leader in pure custom superyachts, continue to break ground as ideas are explored with Feadship Future Concept designs.

Speak to A United Sales Professional About Feadship Yachts

Billionaires are getting ready for summer with wildly spectacular superyachts

• Superyachts, the most expensive asset  a billionaire can own, are pushing the boundaries of luxury.
• The boats, which cost eight or nine figures, are getting larger and include more features than ever.
• From massage rooms to basketball courts, here's what the world's richest want on board.

For many wealthy boat owners, a private spa is a must-have on board. A sauna is a nice touch. A Jet Ski or two makes days at sea way more fun. And if you don't have someone on board who can whip up a Michelin-star-worthy meal , you might as well stay on land.

In the world of massive yachts , there's no such thing as too much. After all, if someone spends eight or nine figures to design the vessel of their dreams — or at least $500,000 a week to charter one — more is more.

"Yachting. It's not rational; it's emotional," Ralph Dazert, the head of intelligence at SuperYacht Times, told Business Insider at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where dozens of superyachts — often defined as vessels over 30 meters in length — were on display.

And while there are certain classic features, such as jacuzzis and bars, what superyacht owners want is evolving, insiders at the show said. That might mean more crew members, more space for helicopters, or more water toys, but might also include manicure salons and putting greens.

"The bar of what is the baseline expectation has increased exponentially just over the last four or five years," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage Fraser Yachts, said. Clients are "spending more time on the boat and really wanting to extend the lifestyle they lead on the shore."

A lot of this can be chalked up to the pandemic. Superyacht purchases and charters spiked as life and luxury travel on land screeched to a halt. While the market has moderated slightly, the number of superyachts on order — 1,166 as of September, according to Boat International's Global Order Book — is still above pre-pandemic norms.

"What the pandemic really showed is that the appetite for being out there at sea, sort of living the marine lifestyle, is still as valid as ever," Kurtén said.

That means there's a lot of money on the water. The total value of the 203 superyachts over 30 meters delivered last year was $6.4 billion, according to data from SuperYacht Times. New custom builds from the world's most prestigious shipyards — Lurssen, Feadship, Oceanco , Benetti — can run into the hundreds of millions. Even used superyachts at the Palm Beach show cost as much as $75 million.

And it's not just traditional buyers like retired wealthy couples looking for a place to relax or celebrities looking for a place to party away from the paparazzi. New clients are often younger and have families, so want areas to work and watch movies . They also want pricey water toys, access to fitness equipment, or even pizza ovens for picky eaters.

"This would've never happened in the nineties," said Giovanna Vitelli, the vice president of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts. "You would go with your beautiful woman, Champagne — the idea of yachting was much more showing off with your jacuzzi and things like that."

Pure opulence has made room for function.

When Benetti's Nabila set sail in 1980, its 50-person crew, gold-and-diamond-encrusted interiors, and lavish parties captured headlines and even inspired the Queen song "Kashoggi's Ship."(Seven years later, Donald Trump bought Nabila for $30 million , renaming her the Trump Princess.)

"Life on board was considered very formal — big formal dining rooms, boats were high on the water, you would be segregated from the rest of the world," Vitelli said, remembering another client who insisted on a replica of the Sistine Chapel above the dining table.

But the ostentatious, palatial-like interiors that used to be highlighted in yacht brochures have made way for lists of more functional features .

Related stories

Rather than esoteric novelties like an extra-large safe for rifles that one builder had to construct per a Russian yacht owner's request , the superyachts on display at the Palm Beach show featured basketball courts, saunas, and ice baths.

Owners want elevators and luxury gyms. Pampering options, be it a massage room, manicure station, or a professional-grade facial machine, are a dime a dozen. Some bathrooms have fancy Toto toilets, which can cost around $20,000.

Sterns (that's the back of the boat) used to be built high to guard guests' privacy. Now, they're built as "beach clubs" — an open swim platform.

And what good is a massage room if no one on board can give one? Many superyachts can hold twice as many crew members as guests, if not more. One broker, representing a boat that didn't have a masseuse, said it could be quite a "tricky" issue because if a charter wants one, they have to find someone who can massage guests and "pull their weight with the crew."

"It's not uncommon to look for a deckhand who can also mix a martini, play an instrument, maybe entertain the guests with singing, and ideally even give a massage," Kurtén said.

Of course, a crew comes at a cost . Most are considered full-time employees, requiring salaries and benefits like health insurance. Captains, first mates, and chief engineers often make six figures a year. That's without tips; a charter guest will typically spend six figures on gratuities for the crew who worked during a weeklong vacation.

For the superrich, there must be room for toys.

It's not just the onboard amenities that count. What's known as "toys" in the industry — water slides, eFoils, Jet Skis, and underwater scuba diving jets — are popular, and costs range from merely hundreds of dollars (banana boats) to millions ( submersibles , which are still popular despite the recent tragedy).

" Tenders and toys, the sky seems to be the limit," Kurtén said. "More is more."

If you can't fit all those toys in the yacht's storage space, you can just use another boat. Jeff Bezos' support yacht is a superyacht in itself, measuring 75 meters and costing tens of millions of dollars. (His main yacht, Koru , cost a reported $500 million.)

Support yachts are also faster, meaning the crew can get to a destination first and set up the Jet Skis, seapools, and the like, Dazert said. "By the time the owner arrives on the main yacht, everything's set up, and he can go and have fun."

Even tenders, the smaller vessel that brings guests from the ship to the shore, are getting glow-ups. The Nero, a 90-meter beauty available to charter for about $500,000 a week and modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship, has custom-built tenders to match the design. The most expensive ones often cost seven figures. Nero has three.

"It used to be a tender was a tender," Jeffrey Beneville, who handles yacht insurance at NFP, told BI. "Now they're called limousine tenders. Think of an incredibly luxurious gondola that's got a hard top so nobody's hair gets mussed when they're being dropped off at the Monaco Yacht Club ."

One thing that clearly hasn't changed in superyachting: showing off. If the boat next door at the marina has an indoor-outdoor cinema, it's natural to want one too. Ditto a wine cellar or helipad.

"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Vitelli, whose company is behind the Lana yacht Bill Gates chartered for a birthday party three years ago, said. "You push it a little more."

And that's a boon for yacht makers and brokers catering to the superrich.

"Our job is to make clients' dreams come true," Kurtén said.
