76m Feadship's One Departs from Kaag Shipyard
The impressive 75.75-meter Feadship One, featuring four spacious decks, has set sail with a blend of elegant design and practical layout tailored for both private enjoyment and charter excellence.The vessel exudes luxury and comfort, with strikingly simple exterior lines crafted by Studio De Voogt. The sophisticated interior is designed by Paris-based Gilles & Boissier, renowned for their work on the prestigious Baccarat Hotel in New York.“The goal was to create a masculine yet timeless and elegant design,” explains Thijs Orth, a designer at Studio De Voogt. “The bold forms and predominantly straight lines are enhanced by subtly nuanced surfaces that reflect light, adding visual interest to the yacht. Our collaboration with the engineering team was essential to ensure optimal functionality.”Orth highlights design details such as the chamfered edges on the bow’s bulwark, which gradually flatten as the sheer line extends toward the stern. This design element is echoed in the widebody windows on the main deck and the white-painted superstructure.“To create a softer, more sensual look, we incorporated a pronounced tumblehome viewable from the stern,” states Orth, noting that this curvature continues along the sides of the sundeck roof.On the main deck, a luxurious full-beam VIP stateroom features a private lounge and an integrated balcony that can be enjoyed while cruising, making it a perfect retreat. This expansive suite can also function as a second master stateroom for charter guests.The master stateroom located on the upper deck opens to a terrace complete with a largest tub and adaptable lounging area. The elevated foredeck is designed as a touch-and-go helipad, while the garage below accommodates a 9.50-meter limo tender and a variety of water toys.The yacht boasts a large swimming pool on the main deck's aft section, complemented by a hot tub on the sundeck. The bridge deck features an aft-facing gym surrounded by wrap-around glazing and glass doors that open on three sides. Notably, diagonal teak decking has been introduced, adding a unique visual feature.In contrast to the contemporary trend of terraced main decks, One showcases a traditional transom design with elegant, sweeping staircases leading to a remarkably large swim platform complete with integrated swim stairs. Two inward-folding transom doors provide access to the beach club, illuminated naturally by the glass-bottomed pool above.With accommodation for twelve guests, including a master stateroom, a VIP suite, and four double staterooms on the lower deck, One can host eighteen crew members. The yacht is powered by twin MTU main engines, allowing it to achieve speeds over 15 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.“We thoroughly enjoyed the design process for this yacht,” Orth concludes. “Achieving a look of masculine elegance is challenging, but One successfully embodies a robust yet sleek and chic aesthetic.”One is scheduled for delivery in early 2025, with Arjen van Elk representing her for sale on behalf of Feadship, in collaboration with Edmiston.Based in the Netherlands and with roots dating back to 1849, Feadship was formed as a group in 1949 as a marketing partnership between six Dutch shipyards, de Vries Lentch, Van de Stadt, Witsen & Vis, Akerboom, De Vries Scheepsbouw and Van Lent Shipyard, and De Voogt Naval Architects. Feadship is well-known as one of the Netherlands’ most elite yacht builders and delivers superyachts from 50–100+ meters in length.Credits: Feadship
STP Unveils Ambitious Multi-Million Euro Expansion
Construction is underway at the Mallorca-based shipyard of Servicios Técnicos Portuarios (STP), marking the start of an €8 million initiative aimed at modernising the facility to accommodate some of the largest vessels in the fleet for refitting and maintenance.To address the growing demand for large yacht services, STP's expansion aims to elevate productivity and streamline operations while expanding the shipyard's capabilities. “We have frequently received requests for mooring spaces for yachts exceeding 100 meters in length, and until now, we have struggled to meet that demand,” stated Joan Rosselló, general manager of STP. “With limited options for large berths in Palma, the new dedicated berths will significantly enhance our repair services and improve workflow across shipyard activities.”This major expansion is poised to invigorate Mallorca's local economy, drawing more significant refit projects to the area. STP estimates that the expansion could generate an additional €50 to €60 million in annual revenue for the region.On the technical side, the shipyard's total area will grow from 130,000 square meters to 162,000 square meters, incorporating 102,000 square meters of land and 60,000 square meters of water space. This enhancement utilizes previously underutilised areas at the edges of the current shipyard footprint, facilitating further development within STP’s existing concession.The waterway expansion will introduce five new berths that can accommodate yachts of up to 110 meters, adding to the existing three superyacht berths. On dry land, STP plans to establish specialized zones for various tasks, including a new covered section specifically for mast removal, repair, and painting.Additionally, STP is prioritising sustainability by installing photovoltaic panels on the new covered areas and the parking canopies. The anticipated solar energy output is expected to power approximately 115 apartments and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 124 tonnes annually.The new berths will be operational by the end of 2024, while the rest of the works are scheduled for completion in spring 2025.Credits: STP
