72m Feadship Project 827 seen for the first time

The hull of the 71.7-metre Feadship Project 827 has left the shed for the first time in Nieuw-Lekkerland, the Netherlands. She is now preparing for transport to Feadship's outfitting facility in Amsterdam.

Construction began in 2022 and the superyacht was sold just six weeks after entering the market in July 2023, with Burgess representing the client.

"From the moment we released information about [827] there were several clients who jumped at the opportunity, including her new owner," said Maarten Janssen, Feadship’s sales director. "He was attracted by the relatively short delivery time and the opportunity to bypass the waiting list. He loved the exterior and interior design, and the yacht totally fit what he was looking for in terms of layout for family use. A perfect fit, in other words.”

Project 827 blends the East and West in a marriage of "Scandinavian warmth" and "Japanese minimalism", the yard has previously said.

Guests boarding from the swim platform can either ascend the staircase to enter the yacht from the main deck – complete with a seven-metre swimming pool – or, with the touch of a button, the steps open to reveal a dedicated wellness area at the heart of the vessel with dual accessibility through the beach club and main staircase.

Project 827's interior, designed by Italian studio FM Architettura d'Interni, embraces the "Japandi" style with its use of modern furnishings decorated by light, earthy tones. In a series of renders released by the yard, an unconventional layout sees both the formal dining and lounge areas sitting longitudinally along the main deck saloon, raising the capacity for onboard social gatherings.

Accommodation is spread across seven cabins, including two VIP suites and four additional staterooms on the main deck that have been strategically placed to maximise the amount of natural light entering each cabin. A dedicated owner's deck houses the master suite with wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows supplying panoramic views.

Up top, the sundeck boasts a second pool with large sunpads forward, as well as a spacious aft deck for dining and relaxation underneath a large overhang.

Project 827 is scheduled for delivery in summer 2025.

According to BOATPro, Feadship has 15 projects in the works across its four construction sites, including the 118.8-metre fuel-cell-powered superyacht, Project 821, which launched earlier this month.
