Stepping on Board: Tilman Fertitta's Luxury 77m Feadship Superyacht Enters the Market

From the stable of Dutch shipyard Feadship emerges Boardwalk, a 76.5m masterpiece ready to make waves in the superyacht sector. Pride and joy of entrepreneurial magnate and savvy charterer Tilman Fertitta, Boardwalk sets sail on its maiden voyage to the market under the vigilant guidance of Y.CO.

A grand spectacle of the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show, Boardwalk is a triumphant testament to Feadship’s ingenuity. She is a seamless amalgamation of high-end European craftsmanship and smart, tasteful American design. Boasting a solid-built steel and aluminium structure, she proudly wears the tag of Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects’ brainchild.

Feinschmecker interior design studio Amy Halffman Designs held the reins on Boardwalk’s interiors, delivering a customised yacht that balances functionality, comfort, and atmosphere perfectly. Subsequently, Boardwalk turned heads for her creative fusion of classy European craftsmanship and intelligent yet elegant American design.

The Boardwalk is unquestionably a joy to explore, but what amplifies her charm is her lengthy catalog of onboard facilities designed for multi-generational enjoyment. Be it the opulent main saloon greeting guests with twin lounges, a sit-up bar, TV, and glistening fabrics or the six spread-out bars aboard, Boardwalk leaves no stone unturned to ensure a grand experience for her patrons.

Sleeping quarters abound with seven cabins accommodating 14 persons. Each room is a haven of comfort and luxury, with the owner’s suite on the main deck featuring a lounge and fixed balconies on either side. The suite brags of generous ‘his and hers’ bathrooms and dressing rooms.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the sundeck that houses a six-metre mosaic-tiled pool, an adjacent hot tub, sun loungers, and a mid-ship bar. The observatory deck offers sweeping panoramic views. For those fitness and wellness centric, the lower deck morphs into a wellness and adventure retreat. The sides swivel open to reveal a beach and fitness club, stuffed with gym gear, therapy rooms, sauna, a diving locker, and a slate of watersports options. Ease of mobility between decks is assured with a handy lift.

Boardwalk’s innovation extends to its forward tender garage on the main deck, that can accommodate two tenders. Furthermore, it has a certified helipad on the sundeck, facilitating swift transfers from the shore. Y.CO co-founder and chairman, Gary Wright, hailed Boardwalk’s inauguration as the successful fusion of De Voogt’s exterior designs, captivating interiors by Amy Halffman Designs, and sharp Dutch craftsmanship.
