Feadship Confirms Sale of 50m In-Build Superyacht Project Fun

Feadship has confirmed the sale of the 49.5-meter motor yacht Project Fun, also known as Project 717. 

With Feadship Resale representing the buyer and Edmiston the seller, the shipyard strengthens its record of welcoming repeat ownership.

Design and Construction

Constructed with a displacement aluminium hull and superstructure, Project Fun carries a sharp, low-profile exterior by Studio De Voogt paired with interiors by American designer Marty Lowe. At 499GT, the yacht balances Feadship’s custom pedigree with a profile tailored to sub-50-meter owners seeking shorter build times.

Exterior Design

Styled by Studio De Voogt, Project Fun carries a purposeful, low-profile silhouette defined by clean geometric lines. A vertical bow and a continuous band of glazing running the length of the superstructure emphasize her contemporary character. Comparisons have been made to Feadship superyacht Venus, though with key differences: Project Fun introduces an aft beach club with pool and an open sundeck arrangement.

A notable feature on the motor yacht is the bridge deck aft is an open-air cinema, complemented by dining and lounge areas designed for evening gatherings under the stars. Hybrid propulsion supports quieter passages and improved efficiency, aligning with Feadship’s broader focus on sustainability.

Interior Design

The interior of the superyacht is credited to Marty Lowe, with renderings also referencing design work by Harrison Eidsgaard in the project’s earlier stages. The style is modern and pared-back, with light tones, clean lines, and soft finishes designed to create a relaxed atmosphere.

The main saloon and lounge flow naturally across the deck, anchored by thoughtful lighting and stone-colored paneling. Spaces have been planned with adaptability in mind, serving both private retreat and social occasions.

Accommodation

Accommodation is arranged for 10 guests in five cabins, comprising a full-beam owner’s suite on the Main Deck and four doubles below. The owner’s suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, desk space, and a private lounge area. Crew quarters are provided for eight.

Performance

Powered by a hybrid diesel-electric system, Project Fun is expected to reach 15 knots at top speed and cruise comfortably at 10 knots. With fuel capacity of 51,100 liters, she will have a transoceanic range of 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed.

Feadship Market Context

The sale of Project Fun comes at a time when demand for high-quality, sub-500GT superyachts is accelerating. Owners are increasingly seeking vessels that balance global cruising range with access to smaller harbors, and Feadship’s decision to apply its full-custom approach within the 50-meter segment positions the yard directly in that market.

With an asking price of €65,000,000 prior to sale, Project Fun illustrates the premium attached to build pedigree, short delivery schedules, and hybrid propulsion systems. For comparison, few yachts of this size in today’s brokerage market match the same combination of brand reputation, bespoke design, and technical specification.

Feadship Resale’s role in the transaction also highlights a broader shift toward shipyard-backed brokerage services. By integrating resale directly with the yard, Feadship offers continuity for long-standing clients and reassurance for prospective buyers. The sales of Feadship superyacht Les Cinq (ex.One), motor yacht Savannah, and now Project Fun demonstrate how the division is reshaping brokerage expectations, giving Feadship a hand in both new build and resale markets.
