Design & Construction

Designed around a displacement aluminium hull and superstructure she features a 8.9m beam and a 2.25m draft. The yacht has an internal volume of 499 GT (Gross Tonnes).

Construction started in mid 2023. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in November 2025 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months.

Exterior Design

Project Fun presents a striking exterior, defined by clean, geometric lines and a purposeful, low-profile silhouette. The hull is accented by a distinctive vertical bow and a long band of glazing that sweeps across the superstructure, both features rooted in the design language of Studio De Voogt. The yacht’s overall profile is similar to motor yacht Venus but with a few key differences, such as an open sundeck and aft beach club and pool.  

Outdoor areas are arranged with a clear sense of hierarchy. The main deck aft opens wide once the fold-down bulwarks are lowered, turning the space into a broad terrace at the water’s edge. A glass-fronted Jacuzzi sits neatly within this area, close to both seating and dining, keeping the atmosphere social without crowding the deck. Higher up, the bridge deck aft combines dining, lounging, and an open-air cinema, while the sundeck adds a secondary helm and relaxed seating without feeling overbuilt. Forward, the foredeck remains simple and open, arranged for quiet use and long views ahead.The exterior look is further defined by Espen Øino’s signature touches, with angular windows contributing to the yacht’s modern character. 

Hybrid propulsion powers Project Fun towards quieter, more efficient journeys.

Interior Design

Inside, Project Fun features a custom interior by Harrison Eidsgaard, tailored to maximise flexibility across guest and social areas. The approach brings a contemporary, pared-back feel, with renderings by American designer Marty Lowe revealing interiors finished in soft tones, bright lighting, and stone-colored paneling.

Spaces on board are designed to adapt easily to different moods and occasions, ensuring both private relaxation and easy socialising. The main deck saloon and lounge areas flow naturally, anchored by thoughtful lighting and a clean aesthetic that keeps the atmosphere light and inviting. At the helm, the design balances form and function for a seamless onboard experience.

Accommodation

Accommodation is set for ten guests, with the owner’s suite taking a full-beam position and measuring close to nine metres across. In addition to sleeping and lounging space, the cabin includes a private study, allowing the suite to function as a genuine living area rather than just a bedroom.

Additional cabins for guests are situated on the lower deck, ensuring privacy and convenience for all onboard. The yacht is also equipped with quarters for eight crew members aft of the engine room.

Performance & Capabilities

Project 717 is built around a diesel-electric propulsion setup developed under Feadship’s Advanced Electrical Drive programme, using azimuthing thrusters for both propulsion and steering. Power comes from John Deere gensets, supported by a 100kWh battery bank that handles hotel loads and contributes to quieter, smoother running. The yacht reaches a top speed of 15 knots and cruises comfortably at 10 knots. With fuel capacity of 51,100 litres, she delivers a transoceanic range of around 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed, aligning with her long-range brief and emphasis on onboard comfort.

On Project Fun, evenings come alive with an open-air cinema set on the bridge deck aft.
