News: Feadship 70M Superyacht "JOY"

Feadship Prepares To Launch 70-meter Superyacht "JOY"
​

Dutch custom superyacht builder Feadship is on the cusp of launching another superyacht. She is a 70-meter four-deck yacht called "JOY". The design offers firsts for Feadship in terms of the partnership. JOY is the first Feadship to feature an exterior design by design house Bannenberg & Rowell and also the first to have an interior penned by the Indigo Studio. One thing that you will immediately notice onboard this yacht is the sculptural value of the design. The superstructure ceilings and overhangs are chamfered to allow more light into the interior rather than the conventional flat edges. It also gives a different aesthetic appeal to the exterior.

Another feature is the tender garage onboard. That has been moved forward in the bow and is semi open as the garage doors are not 100-percent solid. The tenders will eventually be served by overhead trolley cranes. The main tenders are up front to make room for a spacious beach club on the aft lower deck perhaps where the tender garage would have been traditionally. Speaking of the beachclub, that feature will be a hit with guests and owner on board. The transom hatch opens upwards to allow natural light in and access to the large swim platform.

JOY’s owner has prime real estate onboard –which is not surprising-. The forward upper deck is where the master suite is and has 270-degree field view. Even the side bulwarks have been 'lowered' in design and the height deficit made up by incorporating glass to preserve the near-seamless views outward from the owners suite. The owners cabin has a large rectangular skylight in the ceiling as well to offer views upward when desired.

Hull 812 as she was known as under construction up to this point will be launched in a very ‘finished’ state. Exterior wise the 70-meter superyacht looks very complete and even the interior areas that can be seen look largely complete. Based on this, preparation for sea trials should be fairly swift. Once trials have been satisfactorily concluded, JOY will be delivered to her owner. We will have more information here on YF as it comes to hand.
