Feadship

The Dutch full-custom reference, from 40 to 120 m.

Feadship was born in 1949 from the association of Dutch family yards, including Royal Van Lent and Koninklijke De Vries, and the De Voogt design office. The name stands for First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders. The yards in Kaag, Aalsmeer, Makkum and Amsterdam each build a few yachts at a time.

Production is entirely bespoke, in steel and aluminium, from 40 to 120 m, with celebrated deliveries beyond 100 m. Each yacht is designed with De Voogt and a studio chosen by the owner. The yard also runs hydrogen and hybrid propulsion projects.

Strengths: the world reference in full custom, resale value to match, and refit of its own yachts as a service in its own right.
