Feadship has announced the sale of the 71.76-metre in-build Feadship 827 superyacht Sakura. She was sold to a client of Burgess after just six weeks on the market.
Named after the Japanese cherry blossom, Sakura represents a noble new generation of Feadship yachts that combines uncompromised luxury, technology, engineering and propulsion. She features exterior design from De Voogt Naval Architects, naval architecture from Azure Yacht Design and interior design by Italian studio FM Architettura.
“From the moment we released information about Sakura last May there were several clients who jumped at the opportunity, including her new owner,” said Maarten Janssen, Feadship’s Sales Director.
The Feadship 827 yacht draws on the Japandi style with a combination of Scandinavian warmth and Japanese minimalism. Sakura features clean exterior lines with light colours and bright spaces inside, with beauty and transience at the centre of her design. 
“The buyer was attracted by the relatively short delivery time and the opportunity to bypass the waiting list. He loved the exterior and interior design, and the yacht totally fit what he was looking for in terms of layout for family use. A perfect fit, in other words,” explained Maarten Janssen.
Sakura features a dedicated owner’s deck with wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling glass windows for panoramic views. This deck provides a private oasis while remaining social at the heart of the yacht.

The pilothouse of Sakura has been raised to accommodate her grand master stateroom with wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling glass windows. This deck also has side deck access to a private breakfast nook and hot tub, becoming the ultimate relaxation hub.
Sakura is able to accommodate up to 14 guests, with the remaining six staterooms consisting of two VIP suites and four guest staterooms. She can also sleep a professional crew of 18 across six crew cabins, two officer cabins, a staff cabin and the captain’s cabin.
“It has been a pleasure to have worked hand in hand with the new owner and Feadship for project Sakura and we are looking forward to a continued close collaboration for the completion of this stunning new build project,” added Richard Lambert, Head of Sales at Burgess.
Key amenities onboard Sakura include a wellness area which can be used as a gym, steam room, sauna or massage room. Sakura also possesses an impressive sky lounge area that also serves as a media room for family movie nights or an option for alfresco dining. 
In terms of performance, Sakura will be equipped with twin MTU engines, providing her with a top speed of 14.5 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles.
Sakura has an expected delivery date of May 2025.
