The Astounding Feadship Superyacht, Project 826, Takes Final Voyage to Amsterdam for the Last of Construction

Pictures released by the Dutch yard Feadship showcases the impressive and elegant 80-metre superyacht, previously known as Project Thalassa, making its way to significant facilities in Amsterdam. Here, it will commence the closing stages of construction, which involves sea trials. This massive project was initially launched in April, splashing onto the scene at Feadship’s yard in Kaag. BOATPro’s insider knowledge hints at a delivery date as soon as this coming summer.

Awe-inspiring exterior design by none other than Malcolm McKeon reveals a striking low, sculpted appearance for Project 826. Inspired by dynamic sailing yachts, the superyacht presents a sharp plumb bow and a widening hull. Its delicately curved windows and sleek lines round off the aesthetically pleasing finish. While the interiors, crafted by the acclaimed Milanese studio M2Atelier, remain a closely-guarded secret, their contemporary design has been hinted at with descriptions of warmth and relaxation casually tossed our way.
