They often describe building a Feadship as one of the most thrilling – and fun – experiences of their life. As the saying goes, ‘There are yachts and there are Feadships.’There are several key reasons why Feadship has achieved this iconic status. Firstly, it builds purely custom superyachts. What does that actually mean? In a nutshell, every yacht it builds is totally unique. Clients arrive with a vision, and Feadship starts with a blank sheet of paper to translate that vision into bespoke reality.No two Feadships are the same. Each one reflects the style of its owner, how they like to relax and/or party, their ideas of the ultimate travel experience, the places they would like to discover and so much more. Feadship combines all these parameters into one package and adapts the design process to every individual client. It’s what the shipbuilder calls ‘pure custom’ and it involves embarking on an unforgettable voyage through the entire process.Clients building a yacht for the first time can rest assured that Feadship will leverage on the many hundreds of times it has guided people in making a lifelong ambition come true. There is an inherent quality to every Feadship that you can only really feel when you step aboard. This is the result of a relentless pursuit of perfection in every aspect of design, construction and engineering. Feadships are the product of perfect craftsmanship passed down the generations and are renowned for holding their value.Together, this is what makes up the Feadship Experience… An investment in your pleasure that will live with you forever.<a href="https://www.feadship.nl/media/video/v-iB190CN7k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Feadship TV</a> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v-iB190CN7k?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
