KATHLEEN ANNE is a beautifully built and impeccably presented 39-metre motor yacht from the legendary Dutch shipyard Feadship, delivered in 2009 as part of their acclaimed SL39 series and a finalist for Best Displacement Motor Yacht below 500GT at the 2010 World Superyacht Awards. She represents the very best of Dutch engineering and craftsmanship, combining timeless Feadship quality with a warm, inviting design that makes her the perfect luxury charter yacht for families and groups of friends. Her elegant exterior lines are the work of Guido de Groot, with naval architecture by Feadship De Voogt, while her sophisticated interior is by the celebrated English studio Bannenberg and Rowell. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure and teak decks, and fitted with at-anchor stabilisers for exceptional comfort, she cruises comfortably at around 12 knots with a top speed of 13 knots and a range of some 3,400 nautical miles, ideal for relaxed exploration of her beautiful cruising grounds. Her interior combines a calm and tailored approach with an inviting ambience, balancing contemporary flair with the natural warmth of teak. The colour scheme is neutral with playful punches of colour, from the cushions and a pair of bright red-topped chairs to the artwork adorning the walls, and the open saloon and dining areas flow effortlessly into one another, creating a sense of spacious ease, with natural light streaming through the large windows to illuminate every elegant curve and texture. Sumptuous, deep-cushioned sofas and cosy corners of seating at every turn, all styled with impeccable attention to detail, make her interior a genuine home away from home, and a well-equipped gym lets guests maintain their fitness routine at sea. Life on deck is exceptional, with generous, thoughtfully arranged spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The large aft area of the bridge deck offers a shaded lounge and an alfresco dining area that can seat up to ten guests, the ingenious shading facilities being one of the most clever aspects of her deck design, while the foredeck invites quiet, sun-filled mornings and the sundeck offers plenty of space for sunbathing. A generous array of water toys, from Seabobs and Laser Pico sailboats to kayaks, paddleboards and a jet tender, completes her offering. Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests in five beautifully appointed en-suite staterooms. The full-beam master stateroom features a king-size bed, a walk-in wardrobe and a private study with magnificent views, styled with a variation on the walnut and inset-nickel detailing found throughout, while on the lower deck a VIP cabin, a double cabin and two twin cabins complete flexible accommodation, with two of the aft cabins able to be combined into a full-beam VIP suite with a separate lounge by sliding back the central bulkhead. A dedicated crew of seven ensures relaxed, attentive and highly personal service throughout. KATHLEEN ANNE cruises the western Mediterranean, from her base on the French Riviera to the beautiful Italian Riviera, Portofino and the Cinque Terre, as well as the stunning coast of Croatia, and offers charter guests a rare combination of Feadship pedigree, a warm and elegant Bannenberg and Rowell interior, clever and generous deck spaces and outstanding comfort aboard one of the most appealing yachts of her size on the charter market.
