LADY VICTORIA is a 47-metre motor yacht built by Feadship and delivered in 2015, with a 2022 refit and new ownership from 2023. Designed externally by Dubois Naval Architects and internally by Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD), she is one of the most individualised Feadships to have been built in recent years, with an owner whose involvement in every design decision produced a genuinely remarkable yacht.
The most immediately striking feature is her hull: a metallic black finish inspired by a small Lancia Delta Integrale car owned by Feadship CEO Henk de Vries. Achieving this colour on a yacht was so technically demanding that Feadship had to develop new mixing machines and an electrically charged spray nozzle to ensure a flawless finish. The result is a profile that is instantly recognisable and like nothing else afloat.
The layout includes a uniquely dedicated master deck, essentially a private family level, with its own stateroom, salon and private terrace with sliding doors that open three metres to the sides. A VIP suite on the main deck has its own office and lobby. Four further cabins on the lower deck accommodate additional guests and family.
With a 5,200 nautical mile range, twin Caterpillar C32 engines and a semi-displacement hull delivering 16 knots, LADY VICTORIA is equipped for genuinely long-range cruising. She is managed through Edmiston and operates in the Caribbean.
The main deck aft of Lady Victoria is the social heart of the exterior: a covered area with comfortable built-in seating, a dining table and a natural flow to the swim platform below. Whether for casual lunches or formal dinners under the stars, this space is purposefully designed for the pleasures of outdoor life at sea.
The main salon of Lady Victoria is a considered and generous open-plan living and dining area that uses the finest materials, furniture and lighting to create a space that feels as refined and comfortable as a top private residence. Large windows ensure natural light throughout the day, and the natural flow from salon to aft deck makes indoor-outdoor living completely effortless.
The master suite of Lady Victoria occupies the finest position on the yacht for privacy and natural light. A king-sized bed, sitting area, private terrace or balcony, his-and-hers dressing facilities and a premium stone en-suite bathroom with shower and bath create a private retreat of the highest calibre, one that compares favourably with the finest suites in any shore-based five-star hotel.
The sun deck of Lady Victoria is the highest and most panoramic outdoor space on board: sun pads, comfortable loungers and a well-stocked bar create a space where guests naturally gather. Unobstructed views in every direction make it equally popular at sunrise and sunset.
The sky lounge of Lady Victoria is a versatile social space with plush sofas, a bar, and a premium entertainment system. It moves naturally between relaxed daytime lounge and the centre of evening social life as the hours progress, and its elevated panoramic windows make it popular at all hours.
The 6 staterooms of Lady Victoria accommodate 12 guests overnight in surroundings that match the quality of the master suite in materials and care. Cabins are configured flexibly for different group compositions, several converting between double and twin, and each has an en-suite bathroom, generous storage, individual climate control and a complete entertainment system.
