Feadship, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, has become synonymous with luxury yachting and precision engineering since its establishment in 1949. With a lineage beginning in a quaint Amsterdam café, Feadship (First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders) carved a niche for itself by delivering unparalleled quality in superyacht manufacturing. As pioneers in utilizing steel construction techniques, which were uncommon in North America during the early 1950s, Feadship rapidly ascended to be a vanguard of the superyacht sector.
Through the decades, Feadship has maintained its stance as a frontrunner in the luxury marine industry, producing iconic yachts that include 'The Highlander' series and the revolutionary 'Westlake III'. Notably, their fleet from the 1960s, like 'Santa Maria' and 'Serena', marked significant breakthroughs in design and size, pushing the envelope of deluxe voyaging.
Feadship’s commitment to bespoke creation continued into the 1970s and beyond, incorporating advanced design elements and technology. The integration of dedicated interior designers like Pierre Tanter illustrated Feadship’s adaptability and forward-thinking, with each yacht reflecting elegant customization and advanced technological integration.
Feadship’s current fleet mirrors decades of refined craftsmanship and client-centric innovations, making each yacht a personal statement of its owner and a testament to enduring maritime legacy. Feadship remains at the forefront of the industry, continually setting new standards for luxury and sophistication on the seas.
