Overview

Feadship is a cooperative brand formed by two Dutch shipyards — Royal Van Lent and De Vries — along with the naval architecture firm De Voogt, and it has built a reputation as one of the most consistent full-custom builders in the industry.

History

Feadship was established after the Second World War as Dutch yards sought to export custom yachts to the American market, and the name is itself an acronym of "First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders." The cooperative structure — separate yards sharing engineering and a common brand — has remained largely intact for over seven decades.

Build philosophy

Feadship builds only fully custom yachts, with no production or semi-custom line, and typically manages every stage in-house from naval architecture through interior fit-out, working with a rotating group of independent exterior and interior designers per project.
