HALO is a 57.4-metre motor yacht built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 2015, triggered by a multi-million euro refit in 2021 that restored her to peak charter condition. Commissioned by an owner who fell in love with a fellow Feadship (44.6-metre Megan) during a private charter, HALO was conceived to improve on everything that experience had given him. She arrived on the market with a design that genuinely turned heads: Harrison Eidsgaard’s exterior features a pair of sweeping silver arches that crown her silhouette and define her profile from any distance, making HALO instantly recognisable on the water.
Her interior is the first superyacht project by design studio Bernardi Peschard, who instilled a sense of deliberate calm throughout the yacht. Muted, considered colours and plentiful natural light create spaces built for switching off rather than being impressed, with coffee and cream tones in the main salon contrasting against the black lacquered windows as light streams in. The brief was not to create a yacht you stand in and admire, but one you settle into immediately and never want to leave.
The sun deck is HALO’s most spectacular feature. At 200 square metres, it extends five metres further forward than would be expected on a yacht of this size, opening up a huge continuous space for outdoor living. An oversized Jacuzzi pool with an electric carbon-fibre sun awning sits centrally, alongside a bar, chillout area and an outdoor cinema screen for evening films under the stars. HALO’s wellness credentials run deeper than most: she carries a personal trainer and yoga instructor among her 14-strong crew, making sunrise yoga on the main deck forward and Technogym workouts in the onboard gym a natural part of every charter day.
Her cabin layout is both unusual and cleverly thought out. A full-beam master suite on the main deck features its own private office and is joined on the same level by four further convertible king cabins, meaning five of the six staterooms all enjoy the same soothing main-deck sea views. A VIP suite on the bridge deck completes the accommodation, offering elevated, panoramic vistas for a second principal guest. In total HALO sleeps 12 across six staterooms, with the twin-to-double convertibility making her equally suited to couples, families and groups of friends.
HALO’s toy inventory supports adventurous as well as relaxed days on the water: kiteboards, wakeboards, kneeboards, kayaks, paddleboards, a dive store with space for up to 28 tanks, and a pair of large custom D-RIB Compass tenders for shore runs. A touch-and-go helipad on the bow gives additional flexibility for arriving or departing guests. Twin MTU diesel engines provide a 16-knot cruising speed and a 5,000 nautical mile range, supporting HALO’s year-round charter schedule across the West Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean in winter.
