Feadship is a Dutch cooperative of shipyards 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 reflects the particular ambitions of its original owner commission, and no two interiors or deck arrangements are the same.
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. 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.
Long Island is a fitting destination for a Feadship. The island offers the kind of programme that rewards a vessel built to deliver precisely what its guests require without any sense of effort: the beach at Cape Santa Maria for a morning, reef diving at Dean Blue Hole in the afternoon, and dinner at anchor in a bay that no other yacht has entered that week. The 80-mile length of the island means the itinerary evolves each day.
