A significant moment at Feadship today, as the 79.75-metre Project 716 prepares for transport to the outfitting facility in Aalsmeer.

With the hull complete, the focus now turns to the fine details and complex systems that will shape her unique identity.
At Feadship Academy, we believe that great crews deserve great brews. As part of our ongoing commitment to crew development, we recently hosted a fun and hands-on barista course at our shipyard in Amsterdam. Crew from both new build and refit projects at our yards across the Netherlands came together to learn the art of making the perfect cup. From frothy lattes to stylish coffee art, and everything in between. At Feadship, we take pride in crafting custom training programmes for the world’s finest yacht crews, helping them sharpen their skills and shine both on board and beyond. Because when it comes to hospitality, just like coffee, it’s all about the perfect blend.

Painting a superyacht is engineering, chemistry, and craftsmanship—layered. On a Feadship, coatings represent more than 5% of the build cost and are critical to both performance and aesthetics. Behind the flawless finish is a complex process of substrate preparation, fairing, priming, and precision spraying, often under demanding environmental controls. In this week’s PILOT Insights, we break down what it took to coat Savannah, the world’s largest metallic-painted object at launch. From microns of accuracy to a dedicated in-house team, here's how we deliver perfection, surface by surface: https://lnkd.in/eU3PJsUa
