Feadship is the Dutch synonym for full-custom yacht building, a consortium of three Holland yards producing steel and aluminium motor yachts from 30 to over 100 metres with a record of zero technical failures at sea going back to 1949. Every Feadship is a one-off commission, engineered to the programme of each owner and designed by architects who work exclusively at this level of the market. Grand Bahama Island is a natural fit for Feadship charters, combining the full marina infrastructure of Freeport with crystalline shallow-water passages across the Bahamas Bank and easy clearance from Florida. The 20 Feadship yachts available in this region represent the widest single-builder selection of full-custom megayachts in the Bahamas, covering lengths from approximately 35 to over 85 metres. Weekly charter rates range from 150,000 euros to beyond 900,000 euros, a spread that reflects the breadth of size and specification across the fleet. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent funds fuel, food, marina dues and beverages. Dutch engineering standards deliver excellent fuel efficiency relative to vessel size, which moderates the provisioning budget on longer itineraries. Peak season runs December through April when northeast trades and settled conditions prevail. Peterson Cay National Park and its coral reef offer a short afternoon excursion from Freeport. Lucayan National Park provides cave access by kayak, and the eastern bonefishing flats near McLean Town complete a varied Grand Bahama programme.
