What impresses first about Moonstone is her tech capabilities. The superyacht is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system and a WASSP multi-beam sonar system that produces high-resolution bathymetric scanning, mapping out a live 3D view of the ocean floor. Though her leisure amenities are equally noteworthy, encompassing a sundeck with Jacuzzi, gym and massage room and an owner's cabin with Mongolian marble in the bathroom. Accommodation is for a party of 12.

One for the history books, Predator is not only the first Feadship to be delivered with a reverse bow but broke several other records at the time of her launch in 2008, leading to a World Superyacht Award in 2009. At the time, she was one of the quietest Feadships ever built – despite her four-engine propulsion package – and had the tallest engine room of any Feadship and the longest uninterrupted interior views of any yacht in her class. The superyacht also comes with two custom "mini Predator" style tenders and a helipad. Predator has had only two owners since new and benefitted from an interior refit in 2016 that saw her guest accommodation refreshed.

Calypso stands out thanks to her voluminous, "lavish" interiors, including a spectacular two-level master suite at main deck level. Stretching to the yacht's full beam, this suite is described as a "sanctuary" and sports an overhead skylight. Leach rarely holds back on ceiling heights and Calypso's is 4.2 metres high here. Meanwhile, the sundeck is split into three sections: a lounge seating and Jacuzzi area; an enclosed, air-conditioned gym; an open space designed for sunbathing or al fresco workouts, which also has an outdoor cinema set-up.

Commissioned by a "pair of highly experienced New Jersey yachtsmen", Jackpot was the last yacht ever completed at the builder’s Vancouver facility, before it made the move to Tennessee. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests in six cabins, with all cabins benefitting from "sophisticated entertainment systems" and en suite bathroom facilities. Special features include a superyacht elevator for easy access to all four decks and a helipad on the sundeck, complete with fuel storage facilities.

The tour de force onboard Ambrosia is her "Stargate Room" on the upper deck, which features a special lunar theme while functioning as both an informal dining room and a cocktail lounge. Constellations of the night stars in both the northern and southern hemispheres adorn the room's ceiling. Powered by electric motors linked to the yacht's GPS, this decoration changes in relation to where Ambrosia happens to be on the world's oceans. She features diesel-electric Azipod propulsion, anchorless dynamic positioning, infra-red navigation and one of the most extensive entertainment and communication systems ever installed on a yacht. Ambrosia's Art Deco-inspired interior can accommodate 12 guests in six cabins.
