A Rich History in the Middle East
Despite the challenging economic climate, Feadship will arrive at the Dubai show in good heart having signed eight new orders for its superyachts during the recession. This industry-leading performance demonstrates why the Dutch group remains the undisputed leader in the luxury motoryacht segment and offers perfect craftsmanship in every respect.
Feadship has a long and distinguished history of serving clients in the Middle East that dates back to Persian royalty in the 1930s. Since then Feadship has built 25 yachts for Middle East owners, the majority being for presidential or royal families. Launched in 1978 for Saudi clients, the 64.64m Al Riyadh was the largest Feadship in the fleet for almost a quarter of a century until the launch of the 65m Wedge Too – also for owners from the Middle East.
The fast pace of development in the world of superyachts is illustrated by the fact that Feadship’s current order book includes the first Feadship to break the 100-metre barrier as well as various other projects ranging from 46 to 99 metres. At the Dubai show Feadship will showcase the latest Feadship Future Concept called Qi and display models of the 81m Air and 77.70m Tango. It will also be sharing news with visitors on the other Feadships launched over the past year: Fountainhead (87.78m), Musashi (87.78m), Air (81m), Lady Britt (63m) and Helix (45m). Each sets a new standard of excellence in its own right.
“At Feadship, custom still carries its original, pure meaning,” says Francis Vermeer, head of marketing. “We are your first port of call for a personal superyacht that is truly tailored to your individual requirements. Our custom designs are created from scratch, and many Feadships have been inspired by clients from the Middle East region and there are no holds barred on their imagination.”
The team at Feadship would be pleased to make private appointments in advance, either at the show or elsewhere during the show dates. You can contact them directly by using the 'contact' link above.
