Feadship Launches Largest Yacht Ever – For Paul Allen?
Dutch shipyard Feadship builds some of the world’s most coveted superyachts; in addition to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich’s Ecstesea, the likes of Malcolm Forbes, Paul Allen and King Khalid of Saudi Arabia all commissioned luxurious vessels from them.
Now the shipyard has launched its newest, largest and most expensive superyacht ever, the 288-ft. Musashi (above) built for an unnamed billionaire, leading to speculation that one of the boldfaced names on its client roster decided it was time for an upgrade. Our money is on Paul Allen, who recently listed his 303-ft. superyacht Tatoosh for sale at $160 million meaning he’s probably in the market for a replacement (he still has the Octopus).
The Musashi’s massive steel hull was constructed by Feadship’s dedicated hull-building facility in Papendrecht, Netherlands, and was delivered to Makkum for outfitting. Her quadruple MTU 16V 4000 M90 marine diesel engines kick out a combined 14,600 hp, though the shipyard has not released any performance specs. The Musashi’s naval architecture and exterior design were created by Feadship’s own De Voogt Naval Architects, while the luxe interiors including an enormous master suite were done by the Netherlands’ Sinot Yacht Design.
