Feadship’s Project 714 has emerged from the shed at the Aalsmeer facility. At 79.95 metres in length, this superyacht is now ready to undergo final outfitting and sea trials.
Project 714 features an exterior design by RWD with sculpted curves and a blue hull. Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects provided the naval architecture.

Diesel-electric hybrid power system
The yacht is also a showcase of cutting-edge technology with a propulsion system developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) programme. Sharing innovations with the groundbreaking Obsidian, its diesel-electric hybrid power system has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than Feadship’s first hybrid yacht, Savannah.
The propulsion and steering are delivered by two contra-rotating thrusters, which eliminate the need for traditional drive shafts and rudders, significantly reducing drag and enhancing efficiency.
Optimal efficiency through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis resulted in finely tuned pods and propellers that minimise vibration and maximise comfort on board. This forward-thinking approach to engineering aligns seamlessly with Feadship’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
