Feadship reveals 49.50-metre Project 717
Feadship has revealed the exterior of its 49.50-metre Project 717 as she left the construction hall in Aalsmeer. The yacht features carefully balanced exterior lines by Studio De Voogt, interior design by Marty Lowe, and advanced electrical drive propulsion, with delivery scheduled for spring 2026.
Feadship Unveils Project 717
On 8 January 2026, Feadship revealed the exterior of its 49.50-metre Project 717 as she left the construction hall at the Aalsmeer facility for the first time. The yacht will now undergo final preparations before sea trials and delivery in spring 2026.
Exterior Design by Studio De Voogt
Project 717 features carefully balanced exterior lines that emphasise length and volume without compromising proportion. Jan Schaffers, Senior Designer at Studio De Voogt, explained: "In the exterior design, we extended the lines without allowing the yacht to feel stretched. The widened shoulders along the sides of the sun deck play a key role in achieving this balance. On the main deck, we focused on creating a strong beach atmosphere." When the fold-down bulwarks are open, the deck space and uninterrupted views are comparable to those of a yacht nearly twice this size.
Interior and Accommodation
The interior, designed by Marty Lowe, Inc. in close cooperation with the owner and the yard, accommodates ten guests across five staterooms. This includes a full-beam owner's stateroom with panoramic views, a private study and a separate dressing area.
Outdoor Living Spaces
The main deck aft offers a spacious layout with ample seating and a glass-fronted Jacuzzi, enhanced by fold-down bulwarks that open the yacht to the sea. Forward, guests can enjoy a well-proportioned lounging and dining area with large windows. The large sun deck, similar in size to those on much larger yachts, houses the flybridge and secondary helm station, seating forward, bar units with barbecue, a large dining area with ceiling fans, and a bar and lounging area aft. The foredeck is arranged with seating and sun pads. Large hull doors provide access to the tender garage.
Propulsion and Technology
Project 717 is equipped with propulsion technology developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive programme. Propulsion and steering are delivered by thrusters, a proven configuration that significantly reduces drag while enhancing efficiency, manoeuvrability and onboard comfort.
Resale Milestone
Earlier this year, Feadship announced the successful resale of Project 717 through its Resale division, marking another milestone in supporting clients in the purchase and resale of existing Feadships.
