Feadship, the Dutch cooperative known as the benchmark for custom superyacht construction, produces fully custom motor yachts in steel and aluminium at the Makkum and De Vries yards in the Netherlands. Twenty Feadship yachts are available for charter in the Dominican Republic through The Yacht Collection, the largest single-builder fleet in the destination and a collection that spans several decades of Feadship production.
The Dominican Republic’s varied geography suits the Feadship fleet particularly well. The displacement hull forms in the Feadship range provide comfortable offshore passage-making on the run from Cap Cana toward the Samana Peninsula, while the quality and volume of Feadship interiors create an on-board experience that is its own reward regardless of destination. The excellent marina at Cap Cana and the established Casa de Campo facility in La Romana both accommodate the fleet’s larger vessels.
Charter rates for Feadship yachts in the Dominican Republic range from approximately 80,000 to 400,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate. December through April is peak Caribbean season. With 20 vessels in the fleet, the Feadship offering in the Dominican Republic is the widest and deepest in the destination.
A Feadship itinerary in the Dominican Republic covers the country’s most rewarding destinations in comfortable sequence. Begin at Cap Cana, then head southeast to Saona Island for the sandbanks and snorkelling. The northward passage to Samana Bay takes a day, arriving in time for an evening anchorage. The Los Haitises National Park rewards a full morning by tender, before returning south via the north coast to Cap Cana and the Amber Coast.
