Savannah, the 83.5-meter hybrid Feadship delivered in 2015 was recently seen in Gibraltar. One of the most expensive yachts for charter, she features a nemo room amongst her key features.
Savannah also hosts a propeller that is 40% larger than the norm and the yard claims that she has a better engine load than any other superyacht. Speaking about the development, the yacht owner's project manager Ted McCumber said:
It is not the individual technologies used on Savannah that are new in the yachting world - it is the way they have been combined
She features a nine-meter swimming pool, an underwater lounge at port side, where guests can watch fish swim past, and a cinema. Moreover, Savannah boasts an exceptionally high-end tender bay finished in teak with a hatch that doubles as a mooring platform. After docking, guests can walk into the garage and take the stairs straight up to the main deck.
