Feadship is a Dutch cooperative of shipyards, van Lent and de Vries among them, producing fully bespoke steel motor yachts that consistently hold the benchmark for large-yacht construction. Every Feadship is built to a unique owner commission with no two hulls sharing the same naval architecture. The combination of structural precision, mechanical reliability, and interior refinement places Feadship at the upper register of the global charter market.
Twenty Feadship yachts operate in the Bahamas and Caribbean charter fleet, a figure that reflects the yard extraordinary output over the past 70 years. Lengths range from around 50 to over 90 metres, with crew sizes from fourteen to twenty-five and guest capacities typically running to twelve. Every vessel in the fleet carries a different interior character, and every one reflects the particular ambitions of the original owner commission.
Weekly charter rates for Feadship yachts in the Bahamas range broadly from 200,000 to over 800,000 euros per week, reflecting the extraordinary range of size and specification in the fleet. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, food, berthing, and crew gratuity. Caribbean season peaks from December through April. Feadship charters typically book six to twelve months ahead, and the most sought-after vessels run waiting lists.
Twenty Feadship yachts covering the Bahamas means genuine selection at Inagua. The island draws vessels that genuinely want to be there rather than those following a circuit, and a Feadship at anchor off Matthew Town is a rare enough sight to mean something. The reef walls, flamingo reserves, and bonefish flats surrounding the island reward a week of unhurried attention from a crew built to deliver exactly that.
