Carte Blanche

Carte Blanche

by Tanno Weeda

3 min read

At Feadship our starting point for design is simple: you have carte blanche to create whatever you desire, and we start with the assumption that everything is possible. Building a superyacht is a unique experience that should reflect the owners’ wishes, not ours. After all, a luxury yacht is something very personal for which you are paying a considerable amount of money. It should, therefore, be entirely suited to you and yours, and not be something general which the yard designs and then tries to sell you.

In essence, we work with you while your thoughts are leading the way. The design and construction process is one that many of our clients find equally as rewarding as the moment they finally see the yacht they have created on the quayside. In the years in-between we shall get to know each other rather well!

By playing with its profile, you can give your yacht a character that is more majestic or more dynamic, more classical or more modern.

Trust and confidence

While all this information could theoretically be used by another yard to build a superyacht, there will be many differences in that build which would ultimately mean you will not receive a Feadship. Like everything we have discussed here, it all comes down to having the trust and confidence that Feadship can deliver. All I will say is that decades of successful builds and repeat clients serve as the ultimate reference point.

Feadship does do more in-house than any other motoryacht builder when it comes to the integration of construction, piping and interior, enabling us to make more efficient use of space. Moreover we have long-term relationships with all our suppliers and co-makers that surpass anything else. These companies are used to delivering Feadship quality for a Feadship build, and even have their own separate Feadship department to ensure the highest standard of equipment. So even if someone was to take the design/specifications to another yard and ask to work with the same suppliers as Feadship, the end result would be something else altogether.

Down to business

As you often hear Feadship clients say, nothing beats designing and detailing your own one-off and entirely individual Feadship. There is also a period of around a year where we are defining the interior, during which time you can still change the layout of rooms if not the basic structural items. 

As we come closer to delivery there is a moment for adding your personal touches to the interior decorative scheme such as artworks. Of course the degree to which you are involved in all or any of this is entirely your choice. You can leave as much to the interior designer as you wish, resting assured that Feadship is going ahead on the right course.
