Superyacht Madame Gu in Porto Cervo
Seen here last week moored in Porto Cervo on the island of Sardinia is Feadship’s second largest launch yet, the iconic superyacht Madame Gu. With an interior and exterior designed by Andrew Winch, Madame Gu is the largest yacht built in the Netherlands to date. Despite her length of 99 metres, she can reach 25 knots thanks to her quadruple 3,600kW MTU engines. Among the many features that earned her the Superyacht of the Year award were a fully enclosed helicopter hangar (first pioneered on the Feadship Ecstasea), fibreglass domes for the satcom/navigation gear, and an exceptionally elaborate interior. She sports a distinctive ice blue hull with a slender and elegant profile.
