This is Savannah

Even as yachts quickly moved towards – and just as quickly surpassed - 100-metres, it was this ‘smaller’ yacht that captured Feadship’s new mindset and set the stage for a new era of superyachts. The world’s first hybrid superyacht, Savannah combines an eco-friendly electro-mechanical propulsion with a streamlined hull to offer major fuel savings and dazzling flexibility of operation and power plant loading. Whisper-quiet when cruising in battery mode, she cuts an unmissable figure with her ‘floating’ superstructure and metallic green exterior. The giant open inside/ outside space formed by the aft owner and main deck areas rewrote the definition of being at one with the sea, as did her semi-submerged Nemo lounge.

A Feadship full of premiers, including being the world’s first ever hybrid superyacht and the first to be entirely metallic painted. Savannah’s interior design and exterior styling are a first too: being new to yacht design, the offices of CG Design took the design brief to a whole new level, creating an ensemble of unrivalled beauty.

Pure custom creation

After winning no less than five of the most prestigious yachting awards in the year following her launch, it needs no further explanation: Savannah is one of a kind.

The main aft deck starts from the water, with succession of steps and platforms leading to a spacious beach 11 club and the living areas.

Perfect Craftsmanship

Savannah is the first superyacht to be entirely metallic painted with the exception of the mast domes. Feadship developed a special spray nozzle technique to attain the all- metallic look which had to be achieved in one sweep to avoid any colour discrepancy. The outside staircases are jet black and the steps covered in teak.

Innovation

Savannah is the first superyacht to feature an eco-friendly blend of single diesel engine, three gensets, batteries, propeller, azimuting thruster and a streamlined hull shape. Offering fuel economies of thirty per cent, the pioneering electro-mechanical propulsion platform marries Feadship’s past experience and forward thinking approach within a pure custom creation.

Inspired by the 2010 Feadship Future Concept Breathe, Savannah is a demonstration of the cost-effective and cleaner mode of propulsion that can be achieved within an entirely bespoke superyacht.

“There was not one detail she would not spend days going over to make sure it was perfect. She really pushed the yard to build the best yacht for the owner”
