Ecstasea: The Feadship yacht that was built for speed

SuperYacht Times takes a closer look at the 86m Feadship superyacht Ecstasea that was built for speed.

Ecstasea: The 86m Feadship superyacht that was built for speed

There are over 50 billion light bulbs in circulation globally, the vast majority LED-based. But the evolution from incandescent to fluorescent and now LED has come with unintended consequences, particularly for our biology. Increasingly, that means bringing wellness into the heart of onboard systems, and lighting is one of the most powerful tools for doing that. Michael Meeneghan, founder of system integrators MP Tech in the UK, looks into engineering circadian-friendly lighting at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397073/image/large-8a6f614768b4a055483b03c753d7fccc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397073">Modern mass-market LED luminaires are predominantly built around a “blue pump” architecture. This architecture boosts luminous efficacy by amplifying the blue portion of the spectrum (typically ~450nm) and then converting some of it into other wavelengths using phosphors.&nbsp;While technically impressive and energy-efficient, the issue is spectral imbalance. Blue-rich white light, especially in the evening hours, suppresses melatonin production, the hormone responsible for sleep onset. This leads to circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD), manifesting in poor sleep quality, fatigue, cognitive decline, and long-term health risks. For those at sea, crossing time zones, working night shifts, or living in enclosed, artificially lit environments, the risks are magnified. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397074/image/large-0b490baf7772bd1cbd895380dbf78c73.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397074">What is Circadian-friendly lighting?&nbsp;Circadian lighting is about aligning artificial illumination with the body’s internal 24-hour clock. Human-centric lighting (HCL) systems do this by varying both colour temperature and intensity throughout the day:&nbsp;• Cool, bright light (~5000–6500K) in the morning stimulates alertness and cognitive performance.&nbsp;• Warm, dimmed light (~1800–2700K) in the evening promotes relaxation and sleep readiness.&nbsp;But HCL is not just about colour temperature; it’s also about spectral fidelity, flicker control, and CRI (colour rendering index). Truly circadian-supportive lighting delivers high CRI (ideally 95+), flicker-free performance, and a balanced spectral output that respects human biology.&nbsp;These are the standards that MP Tech has adopted when designing and commissioning lighting schemes for yachts, with a focus on ensuring biological alignment without compromising visual quality.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397075/image/large-3c2a7a8b5196bdcbc153ad8c24a44620.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397075">Why this matters on a superyacht&nbsp;Unlike land-based homes, yacht interiors are removed from natural daylight cycles. Guests move across time zones, crew work non-traditional shifts, and spaces are often enclosed with limited exposure to sunlight. In such conditions, artificial lighting becomes the dominant environmental cue for the body. For crew, this means supporting shift-work without compromising health. For guests, it means enhancing comfort, reducing jet lag, and creating spaces that feel intuitively “right”, whether waking up in the Med or winding down in the Caribbean.&nbsp;Sleep and Circadian Disruption (SCRD) isn’t always dramatic – it accumulates. But its impact is real and can lead to reduced sleep quality, lower productivity, mood volatility and slower recovery. In luxury hospitality, where every detail matters, lighting becomes both an aesthetic and a physiological asset.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397071/image/large-4e5955784fa2513194673e69d7f36b4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397071">Moving to better standards It’s not uncommon to find beautifully crafted, high-value luminaires aboard yachts that are fitted with subpar light engines. The result? Ornate fixtures delivering flickering, low-CRI, spectrally imbalanced light that undercuts both wellness and visual impact. This dissonance between decorative quality and lighting quality requires thoughtful re-engineering to resolve. The key is to respect the design intent while addressing performance shortfalls that can affect wellbeing.&nbsp;Fortunately, the lighting industry is progressing. New human-centric lighting standards now prioritise:&nbsp;• Flicker-free drivers with high-frequency PWM or DC dimming • High CRI LED chips, often approaching CRI 98+&nbsp;• Tunable white modules with dynamic CCT from warm white to cool white&nbsp;• Full-spectrum LEDs that eliminate blue spike and restore spectral balance&nbsp;These technologies are more compact, marine-compatible, increasingly retrofit- friendly, and typically combine: • Tunable white luminaires with dual-channel or multi-channel LED modules • Intelligent controls that adjust scenes automatically or via user inputs • Sensors and automation that adapt to time of day, presence or ambient light&nbsp;When lighting designers work closely with yacht architects and AV-integrators to specify, program and commission these systems, the result is lighting that flows with the rhythm of life, not against it. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397076/image/large-d9c9e416c484bc6996c480d8739d824c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397076">From design to delivery&nbsp;For new builds, early engagement is critical. Lighting design conversations should be had at concept stage to ensure that both technical and experiential requirements are addressed holistically. Each project starts with a light-use audit, mapping the way each space is used throughout the day and night. From there, tailored control strategies are developed and appropriate luminaires and drivers supplied, managing installation and commissioning through to final handover.&nbsp;For refits, improvements can still be significant, from replacing existing fittings and fixtures with flicker-free, high CRI LED, all the way to upgrading ornate and bespoke fixtures through re-chipping – replacing old LED modules with high-spec, flicker-free alternatives – preserving visual continuity while delivering a measurable step forward in performance and wellbeing.&nbsp;While guest areas are often the focus of design, crew quarters, corridors and service areas require just as much attention. Lighting in these spaces influences alertness, fatigue and productivity – key factors in operational excellence. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397072/image/large-af2a3cfb4818d508d6436e785f8eefe2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397072">The future of Circadian lighting&nbsp;As understanding of circadian biology continues to evolve, so too does lighting technology. We are now exploring full-spectrum lighting profiles that better simulate sunrise, midday and dusk; the integration of near-infrared (IR) and UV elements for skin stimulation and environmental hygiene; and wearable data integration to adapt lighting in real time based on user chronotype or sleep cycles.&nbsp;These innovations will likely become part of the next generation of wellness-centred yacht systems. Whether in a new build or a smart retrofit, lighting doesn’t just illuminate, it enhances life at sea.&nbsp;

Paris-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AERI (Company)">Aeri</a> has unveiled the 60-metre superyacht concept, Aeon. While her exterior impresses with its sculpted form and dynamic silhouette, her interiors draw immediate inspiration from traditional Japanese ink painting, known as Sumi-e.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397900/image/large-25770025bec72332e78e089c1e6f4c78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397900">This design language is echoed throughout the yacht, where a tapered stern and carefully sculpted hull give her a sense of movement even when at anchor. Her superstructure follows the same architectural philosophy, with each deck set slightly back from the one below, creating a series of spacious outdoor terraces while reducing the yacht’s visual bulk.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397905/image/large-7b0d07ff485db32e75db80d4dc5f6721.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397905">Inside, Aeon's main saloon is defined by expansive panelling and an understated aesthetic. Hand-painted Sumi-e-inspired panels, paired with a carefully curated palette of neutral tones and dark woods, create a serene atmosphere that runs throughout the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397904/image/large-7f18429be1d53c258046583d94ef94e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397904">At the centre of her main saloon, a low-profile L-shaped sofa in cream fabric anchors the space. Overhead, a striking ceiling feature combines illuminated panels with wood inlays, subtly echoing the Sumi-e inspiration. Carefully selected furnishings, including sculptural bar stools, enhance the sense of elegance, while sliding doors lead seamlessly to the adjacent outdoor dining and lounge areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397902/image/large-d828f08f688ddb4924bb3f89453ffe66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397902"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397903/image/large-61472bc9b5dc00bd42d9f10dc2a9914f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397903">With owner privacy and flexibility in mind, Aeon's designer has presented several general arrangement options. She measures a beam of 10.5-metres and a gross tonnage of approximately 500 GT plus. Aeon offers either five or six guest cabins, alongside a variety of entertainment and lifestyle configurations, and is supported by crew accommodation in eight cabins.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397906/image/large-4a9069b84e00c7fea6d53c75c398727b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397906"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397899/image/large-269c5397b57b06bbe3c704364d4423f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397899">One layout features a dedicated private owner’s deck complete with a Jacuzzi and outdoor relaxation area.

43m custom Feadship superyacht Loretta for sale

Independent designer Sanjit Nair has unveiled the 110-metre yacht concept Airavat. The yacht draws on traditional Indian architecture and Eastern character to present a new interpretation of contemporary superyacht design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397835/image/large-8ecee397953de6a34f0649093b7c1551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397835">Conceived without the constraints of a specific gross tonnage category or yacht class, Airavat takes inspiration from monumental Indian temples, translating their structural expression, spatial layouts and craftsmanship into a contemporary yacht concept. According to the designer, the project marks a deliberate departure from the "glass-box" aesthetic prevalent across much of today's superyacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397818/image/large-4a501bd7a2cc02b1897dd11e4ee1c309.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397818"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397817/image/large-ea64ebd61db0c46a90d599d1a10991bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397817">Inspired by the mythical royal white elephant, the designer aims for the Airavat concept to move past the "glass-box" and “automotive” themes that currently dominate the superyacht market. Unburdened from the typical limitations of specific yacht tonnage, this concept was conceived to offer a fresh vision in the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397836/image/large-f7bbcc3fc5f0fb968ffc0eb362903afa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397836"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397809/image/large-70e285713fb37f7cbe96be09c5aad23f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397809" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Rather than concealing the vessel's structural boundaries, designer Sanjit Nair incorporates the grandeur, massive scale, and intricate artistry of traditional Indian temple architecture, turning the yacht into a spiritual sanctuary at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397812/image/large-5315c8defbbaf32c671d9fd60b0bb539.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397812">Reflecting on the project, Sanjit Nair added: "Superyacht design has hit a structural and spatial saturation point; vessels are beginning to mimic one another, losing their individual soul. Vision Juggernaut is how I want to add a different kind of value to yacht design. It is an expression of personal style and a form of adding an authentic Eastern character–defined by raw scale, monumental reverence and structural honesty– to the global stage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397829/image/large-0db7f57680934fa8302612781a57eae3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397829">In terms of defining features, Airavat showcases its exposed double-height structural pillars that support the superstructure. Rather than hiding these structural elements, the design celebrates the grandeur of traditional Indian stone columns to create a striking silhouette.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397830/image/large-b45ee2abe559d2df1ed9d63cc785df4c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397830" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Her aft deck has been conceived as a ceremonial arrival space, featuring a broad staircase descending to the swim platform alongside an 11-metre infinity pool. Inspired by the Varanasi Ghats along the Ganges River, the arrangement is intended to recreate the experience of approaching India's historic riverside steps.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397816/image/large-edfb7199b3e7509fe8046f04bab6a25b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397816" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Forward, the yacht's sculptural bow mimics the sweep of an elephant's trunk, while the hull and superstructure reference the star-shaped foundations of Karnataka's Keshava Temple. Meanwhile, a life-sized sculpture of the mythical white elephant Airavata stands prominently on the bow, reinforcing the yacht’s identity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397813/image/large-a4a30e7a838bd434bc6a6ecda2c06339.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397813"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397815/image/large-07fce8c614fd8943a271cff3fbf41a20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397815">Airavat&nbsp;creatively reimagines ancient motifs as modern yacht elements. For instance, overhanging balconies inspired by Jharokha architecture serve as private viewing retreats overlooking the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397827/image/large-0e53430bebfe5872bc16c1c5726f9017.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397827"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397828/image/large-1072cfe948d99771e1dbfa2d016acd4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397828">Moving inside, the design creates an interplay of light and geometry: circular, Mandala-inspired teak decking aligns with an illuminated glass roof above the dining pavilion, capturing the &nbsp;"open-sky" architecture found in the Kopeshwar Shiva Temple.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397826/image/large-6612b1e51380b6bd0bb89d057ff19208.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397826">With a beam of 17-metres, Airavat features a centralised arrangement of interior living spaces intended to maximise onboard comfort and stability. The owner's deck incorporates a spacious aft lounge fitted with a custom diamond-shaped bar, while a grand central staircase leads to the bridge deck dining pavilion, set beneath the Mandala-inspired skylight.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397832/image/large-34732874166f334be26b3a63f8a246d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397832">
