Spot the difference: Comparing Feadship’s five launches of 2025

While much of this year’s attention has centred on the delivery of  Feadship's once-secretive 118.8-metre superyacht Breakthrough  – launched in 2024 – the Dutch yard has also seen a cluster of major yacht launches in 2025. From the 101-metre full-custom flagship Moonrise to the trailblazing hybrid 80-metre Faith and the 80-metre explorer Valor, the shipyard has demonstrated scale, customisation and technological shifts. 

While delivery often attracts the headlines, this comparison focuses specifically on launches – the point at which a yacht first touches the water – rather than owner handovers. This year’s lineup carries Feadship’s classic DNA, yet the fleet also presents various differences. Using data exclusively from BOATPro, BOAT compares five of Feadship’s headline-making superyacht launches from 2025 – yachts that first entered the water this year, some of which have since been delivered...

Dimensions and profiles 

Reading the lines

At first glance, the 2025 fleet’s differentiators are evident in their silhouettes. Moonrise, the 101-metre flagship, features a sleek vertical bow and clean Studio De Voogt lines that echo those of her predecessor. Close behind, stretching to 100 metres but significantly narrower, with contemporary curves and a plumb bow, giving her a strikingly low-profile image, is Pi – courtesy of Jarkko Jamsen. The 80-metre Faith opts for Feadship’s hallmarks of a subtle clipper bow and expansive deck spaces.

Channelling naval inspiration is the slightly smaller 79.5-metre Valor, combining her battleship-style dreadnought bow with generous walk-around decks. The smallest of the newly launched Feadship yachts is Stella M, a 71.8-metre yacht with a raked-back superstructure and a sharp bow, featuring a dynamic, modern profile.

Exterior differentiators 

In the details

Colour palettes also help set these superyacht launches apart. Faith stands out with her blue-and-white scheme, a classic Feadship combination. Moonrise has a more understated grey-and-snow-white theme. At the bolder end of the spectrum is Valor, with her unmistakable metallic naval paintwork. By contrast, Pi and Stella M embrace the crisp white exteriors. Looking past the colour, the exterior detailing distinguishes each yacht.

Notably, Moonrise has become the first Feadship to dispense with traditional communication domes and, instead, Starlink receivers are integrated into the superstructure, streamlining aesthetics. In contrast, Pi’s design draws the eye aft to her slanted transom and full-width staircase leading to the main deck pool. Extensive glazing and rectangular cutouts beneath each deck overhang also introduce more natural light to the space below. 

Meanwhile, Valor makes a statement with her explorer-ready persona, including a 2-metre ice belt above and below the waterline and Feadship’s largest-built tender door. Privacy was a priority for Stella M, with her raised pilothouse exterior resulting in secluded deck levels.

Interior styles and spaces

Behind closed doors

Inside, there are significant distinctions. While little has been revealed, Moonrise’s Remi Tessier interiors are said to be a “refinement” of the last, with technological touches included. Faith, designed by British design studio RWD, takes an airy approach, with open, contemporary spaces that offer uncluttered environments. In contrast to the clean superyacht style, Pi, by Liaigre, the French studio, creates a “domestic” atmosphere with generous use of glazing and natural light. Warm, natural woods and tones peppered with vintage furniture pieces soften her modern exterior lines.

Vintage touches can also be seen throughout Bannenberg & Rowell’s Valor interiors, with mid-century aesthetics, custom furnishings and bespoke stonework – including a showstopping staircase made of 48,001 parts (including solid bronze and stone). Blending Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth for "Japandi" style are the interiors from FM Architettura d’Interni on board Stella M. Modern furnishings, light earthy tones and a light-filled layout tick the boxes of her family-friendly brief.

Lifestyle-led spaces

Time on board

Each yacht’s deck design and interior layouts offer a varied interpretation of what life on board could look like. Moonrise sets the mark high with wellness and entertainment, offering a sundek with a fully equipped gym, spa and hairdressing salon, while the owner’s deck provides privacy and relaxation. An extended swim platform encourages watersports, while operational touches such as lower-deck shell doors, a second bow garage, and a side-loading tender garage provide easy access to toys.

Further details for Pi remain largely under wraps, but the newly delivered yacht is designed around social spaces, including a pool and unfolding balconies that create fluid indoor-outdoor connections. Similarly, Faith’s specific layouts and amenities remain discreet.

The widened bulwarks on both the owner and bridge decks of Valor are a key highlight of her explorer DNA. Her owner’s deck features additional outdoor lounging space, a private Jacuzzi, a dedicated office and a grass-filled “relief station” for the owner’s three dogs. For Stella M, family-focused initiatives have been taken on board, highlighted by her 7-metre pool and a dedicated wellness area, for all-age leisure time.

Propulsion and efficiency

Powering the future

Under the hood of Feadships' 2025 superyachts is plenty of innovation. Across the fleet, diesel-electric propulsion is taking precedence, offering efficiency, low vibration and quiet cruising. Faith uses a diesel-electric system reminiscent of Obsidian, with propulsion and steering managed via two contra-rotating thrusters. By eliminating traditional drive shafts and rudders, the yacht maintains improved efficiency. Pi also relies on diesel-electric propulsion paired with Azipod drives, delivering low-vibration performance, while Stella M combines diesel-electric engines with an efficient layout.

Moonrise boasts specifically designed propellers and appendages that reduce underwater noise and interior noise. The superyacht also features the yard’s first fully resilient-mounted anchor winch foundation, optimising chain routing to limit vibration and improve comfort. Making her suitable for zero-emission operation and Arctic exploration is Valor, with her hybrid diesel-electric system augmented by battery power and solar cells.
