Feadship, the alliance of De Vries and Van Lent shipyards with the Royal Van Lent design office, has been building custom superyachts in the Netherlands since 1949. The yard is synonymous with the highest standard of custom superyacht construction, producing steel and aluminium motor yachts from 50 to over 100 metres with engineering and finishing that sets the benchmark for the industry. A Feadship charter from the US Virgin Islands is among the definitive expressions of the crewed yacht charter experience.
Twenty Feadship yachts are available for charter from the US Virgin Islands, making this the largest single-builder fleet in the USVI market. The vessels span 50 to 90 metres and accommodate ten to eighteen guests across five to nine staterooms, attended by crews of fifteen to thirty who maintain the yard’s exacting standard of service and systems management.
Weekly charter rates for Feadship yachts in the USVI range from around 150,000 euros for a 50-metre vessel to 600,000 euros for the largest 90-metre examples. The advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers substantial fuel bills, premium provisioning, marina fees and all drinks. Peak Caribbean weeks are in short supply across the Feadship fleet, and securing a preferred vessel requires planning well in advance through a specialist broker.
From the US Virgin Islands, Feadship yachts navigate the USVI group and cross into the BVI with effortless authority. Their scale of amenity and crew create an on-board experience that is simply impossible to replicate in any land-based setting.
