History
Feadship's history traces back to 1849 when two Dutch shipyards, Royal Van Lent and Royal de Vries, joined forces to create and export vessels with exclusive designs.
However, it wasn’t until a century later, in 1951, that the company made its mark in the superyacht segment. This breakthrough came with the construction of custom yachts commissioned by prominent figures such as Henry Ford and Malcolm Forbes.
The popularity of these luxury vessels and the subsequent growth in orders pushed the shipbuilder to expand its production capabilities, innovate construction techniques, and transition to new materials. Notably, in 1955, the shipyard fully transitioned from wood to steel and aluminum, setting new standards in the industry.
