Master shipbuilders never fail to ignite imagination and awe, and the Dutch shipyard Feadship is indisputably one of them. A glimpse of their under-construction flagship superyacht, expected to be a breathtaking 140 metres, has set the marine world abuzz.
The first sighting of this majestic beast, known only as hull 831, was recently reported in the Netherlands. The initial section of this ambitious project was rolled out of the shed at the NMC facilities in Alblasserdam. The excitement couldn’t have been more palpable; the shipbuilding world is waiting with bated breath to see Feadship’s unique vision come alive.
Expected to undertake the journey to Greenport Rotterdam’s facilities next, the bow’s journey echoes that of the superyacht’s vision - moving from ambitiously imagined designs to tangible engineering marvels. Here, the construction will progress with steel and aluminium, materials renowned for their strength and durability, matching the resolute spirit the superyacht embodies.
Codecasa, the renowned Italian shipyard, has set the maritime world abuzz with the announcement of the commencement of work on their seventh Codecasa 43 yacht. Hailed as the epitome of refined luxury and naval architecture, this prominent yacht model consolidates traditional aesthetics with ultra-modern functionalities. The 43-metre hull, currently referred to as F82, is slated for delivery by spring 2028.
Taking inspiration from the shipyard’s signature in-house series like Gioia and Boji, F82 takes the designs a notch higher. With its steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and a conventional vertical bow, it personifies maritime supremacy. Enhancing the luxurious experience onboard are large windows and spacious interiors, well under 500GT, that promise bright and flowing living spaces.
