Superyacht DRIZZLE is Feadship ’s latest project to be seen on sea trials in the North Sea. She is 91.8m hybrid-electric superyacht who was launched in April 2024 and is the shipyard’s first full Hybrid Electric Class yacht. Experienced Feadship collaborators Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design and De Voogt Naval Architects worked closely with the new owner, who is a repeat client.

“Working with the experienced owner, designers and owner’s team has been a professional pleasure”, says Albert Abma, Feadship project manager. “Gathering the operational experience of the owner’s team with the yard’s building experience has resulted in this modern-classic, state-of-art and full custom new Feadship”.

The yacht’s masculine exterior profile is characterised by her dark blue hull and white superstructure, which maintains a sense of elegance. The signature deep v-cut bow is balanced by the extended explorer style aft deck which is home to a 165sqm beach club with large pool and fold out terraces. The sundeck serves as an observation vantage point with a forward-facing sofa and sun loungers, while the aft deck is used for storing two rescue tenders.

Despite her considerable volume, the owner was explicit that the interior should have cosy family spaces and meticulous detailing to create an understated family home on the water. Comfortable guest suites and staff cabins finished to luxury standard are on the main deck forward while the master stateroom, family salon and wellness area are situated on the upper decks.

Superyacht DRIZZLE’s propulsion plant and energy management has been developed incorporating state-of-the-art Feadship technology. She comprises two main engines and shaft-driven fixed pitch propellers, coupled with PTO/PTI electric motors of 560kW each and 1MWh of Li-ion batteries. The e-motors work as shaft generators to produce electricity to serve the hotel loads or recharge the battery bank while the generators or batteries produce the required electrical power.

She is scheduled for delivery in July 2024.

A Technological Masterpiece: Feadship’s 91.80m Motor Yacht DRIZZLE Delivered

By Frances Flannagan

Following her sea trials in April, Feadship’s 91.80m DRIZZLE has successfully been delivered to her new Owner. She is the first ever Feadship yacht to carry full hybrid Electric Class notation, emphasising the state-of-the-art nature of the Dutch yard’s technology and marking an important step in its goal of achieving net zero by 2030.

DRIZZLE is the result of a harmonious collaboration between Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects and Sinot Yacht Design, alongside an Owner related design office. Each element of her design has taken into account her Owner’s specific requests, with her interior set to be superbly crafted and meticulously detailed. 

She combines a traditional flared bow with crisp exterior contours, resulting in a modern-classic personality. Cosy spaces dedicated for family use characterise her interior layout despite her considerable volume, with natural materials and finishes permeating throughout.

‘Working with the experienced owner, designers and owners team has been a professional pleasure,’ says Albert Abma, Project Manager at Feadship. ‘Gathering the operational experience of the owners team with the yard’s building experience has resulted in this modern-classic, state-of-art and full custom new Feadship.’

DRIZZLE’s stern has been designed to accommodate an incredibly spacious beach club, occupying one quarter of the total length of the lower deck. The fixed stern platform combines with two fold-down platforms to create an impressive 165 sqm relaxation area at water-level. 

A side-loading garage can be found between the engine room and the beach club, able to house two ten metre tenders, a ski boat and a plethora of water toys. 

The main deck aft hosts a large pool and open-air lounge shaded by the overhang that can be directly accessed from the stern platform via sweeping staircases. Guest suites can be found on the main deck forward, whilst the master stateroom, family lounge and wellness area are situated on the upper decks.

A spectacular observation vantage point with a forward-facing sofa and sun loungers is located on the sundeck, allowing her Owner and guests to fully immerse themselves in the stunning oceanic surroundings.

The standout element of DRIZZLE is a hybrid propulsion system that features state-of-the-art Feadship technology. In addition to standard diesel propulsion mode, the e-motors are also able to work as shaft generators to produce electricity to serve the hotel loads or recharge the battery bank. This feature also allows for low-speed navigation whilst the generators or batteries generate the required electrical power.

MONACO YACHT SHOW 2023

Flood of enquiries expected for superyacht Drizzle

Drizzle placed on the market for the first time, a year earlier than planned….

Hamilton Marine shares a brokerage update

Hoping to ride the wave of a superyacht boom, 68.77-metre De Vries Aalsmeer-built Feadship Drizzle has been placed on the sales market for the first time. 

Hamilton Marine’s Jonathan Syrett is the Central Agent, “Over my long career as a yacht broker - 36 years and counting - I have sold two yachts belonging to the same owners. They enjoyed many good times onboard their previous 55.47-metre Feadship, also named Drizzle, but decided the time had come to upsize and returned to the Dutch shipbuilder to create a one-off motor yacht that reflected their character and lifestyle. What started with a blank page, became a contemporary yet classic, modern yet comfortable, low-profile tri-deck superyacht delivered in May 2012.” 

The idea was to bring Drizzle to market in 2022 but, with 2021 set to go down in history as the best year ever for global superyacht sales, the owners decided to advance the process. In general, the global pandemic hasn’t dented the wealth of the super-rich and superyachts have been seen as a safe space for restriction-free travel.  

Syrett adds, "Drizzle would suit someone who doesn’t want to join a shipyard’s new-build waiting list, or perhaps a client with a yacht under construction, or indeed a client who is looking for a seamless changeover and wants to enjoy immediate adventures afloat in a handsome home from home. Drizzle is in near-perfect condition and since launch she has been cared for by a highly experienced crew and adoring owners. Thanks to a comprehensive maintenance schedule and repainting in 2019, the yacht looks barely a year old - certainly not one that celebrates her tenth birthday next year.”

Built by Feadhip, Drizzle was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects with interiors by RWD. Her overall length is 68.77 metres, with a beam of 11.20 metres, and she sleeps 12 guests in seven suites, plus 18 crew in nine cabins sharing a generous crew mess and recreation area. Highlights include an open sundeck with three lounge areas and an equipped gymnasium, formal dining for 12 in the main salon, informal dining aft of the bridge deck for ten to 12 guests, and al-fresco dining for 12 on the main deck. 

A full-width swim platform was added in the 2019 refit, with shower and retractable self-washing swim ladder.  Drizzle's tender bay and watersports area are equipped with two 7.5-metre tenders, two Yamaha WaveRunners, three SEABOB F5S, two BIC windsurfers, two BIC kayaks, four sets of Scubapro dive gear, two Hobie SUPs, a trampoline, self-supported slide - and much more. She is powered by twin 2,038hp MTU diesel engines, and has a cruising speed of 11 knots, a maximum speed of 16.5 knots and 5,500NM range at an economy speed of 9 knots.    

Drizzle is priced at €76 million with VAT paid in Malta.  She is available for pre-arranged viewings at anchor on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 September at the Monaco Yacht Show, and thereafter on her berth at Port Hercule.

• WEATHER ALERT Flood Watch Full Story

1,000 rounds of ammunition and fireworks were onboard yacht that burned in Marina del Rey: Owner

MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (KABC) -- The owner of a luxury yacht that erupted in flames and sank in Marina del Rey said 1,000 rounds of "unspent ammunition and fireworks" were onboard the vessel, according to fire officials.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department provided an update on the incident in a social media post Thursday morning.

The fire was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at 211 Basin A, where flames engulfed the multi-level, 100-foot boat, the agency said.

Residents in the area said they heard multiple explosions resonating throughout the harbor as yacht was consumed by flames. Fire officials said two people were able to get off the boat uninjured.

Fire crews poured water onto the burning vessel, which later sank into the harbor.

An environmental hazard team was expected to arrive in Marina del Rey Thursday to assist with the cleanup of the burned vessel.

A United States Coast Guard Incident Management Team from Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach is monitoring the cleanup efforts, according to the Coast Guard, which said that the yacht "caught fire and discharged red-dye diesel."

"The fire did not appear to damage any other vessels in the harbor," the USCG said in a statement Thursday. "The Coast Guard is working with Patriot Environmental Services and Clean Harbors organizations to contain and recover the discharge from the yacht."

The yacht's fuel capacity was reported to be 6,000 gallons, according to the Coast Guard. Crews from California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department are also assisting in the efforts.

The Oiled Wildlife Care Network was also notified and was on standby for wildlife response. "No observations of oiled wildlife have been reported at this time," the Coast Guard said Thursday morning. "For your safety and the safety of the animals, do not attempt to capture oiled animals." Witnesses were urged to report oiled wildlife to (877) 823-6926.

The Yacht Rigger is a one-stop business for all your marine rigging needs and more. We have had Stephen and his crew do a lot of work on our boat (a 42' sailing catamaran) including new standing rigging, running rigging, construction of a solar arch and tender lift system, custom made solar panels, installation of solar controllers, custom made dive tank holders, increased the length of our rode and replaced the bridle. We even needed some aluminum welding done and Stephen was more than happy to do it for us. Stephen is a man of integrity and a complete professional who loves his work and works tirelessly to see the project completed and ensure the customer is happy. He is now our go-to guy for all of our boat work. I cannot recommend The Yacht Rigger highly enough and we are thrilled with all the improvements he has done to our boat.

Construction of the solar arch.

Installing the solar arch.

As you can see in Google reviews these guys have amazing reviews but as my other reviews show, I review based on the details of my own experience, not others. I wanted them to replace the rigging but also do additional and related work that that Yacht Riggers ultimately broke up into three different projects: replace all standing rigging, replace all chain plates, and install a bow roller for my 55 lb mantus anchor on my 30 ft Pearson. Before going into the details of the execution it should be noted that I value communication before, during, and after the project above all else. What I mean by this is that I will let so many mistakes and lapse in project planning and foresight slide in the presence of good and consistent communication, not just with me, but with each other as well. I would say poor Internal communication is the primary motivation behind the three stars. Initial contact/planning: I need to mention that I initially contacted Yacht Riggers in January 2021 and that all work has been verified complete June 16th 2021, it should be noted that actual work commenced March 1st. So please understand this could have been due to a backlog. If you consider the amount of time to complete from initial contact it took 6 months. If you consider the amount of time to complete from the start of work it took 2.5 months. This is not as bad as a kitchen remodel of mine that took a year and a half (see 5280 google review) :-) Communication/follow up: From a communication standpoint here is what I experienced. They only reply to emails once a day, you must leave a message if you call and they will respond with the same cadence as emails, once a day. Please note, I found this to be typical, not every time, as there were certainly exceptions. Here's the three star part of this review; towards the beginning of the project to about the middle, the participants in the project had a lot of internal communication problems. This tapered off significantly towards the end as I think they were finding too many things being missed that ultimately dug into their profits, so it was remedied. I told them that I wanted a 55 lb mantus (purposefully oversized for the boat as I wanted more weight on the ocean floor when anchoring). I communicated this through phone and email at least four times throughout the process and they forgot that detail at least three times. This tells me that if there was a project plan that the size of the anchor was not taken into consideration, noted, or integrated as they ran into problems with the size when they ordered the new anchor roller. They had physically been on/in the boat more than enough times to make a qualified assessment. They even disconnected the bow pulpit for the dry fit in anticipation. The reasons they gave for why the anchor wouldn't work was based on a visual assessment after they had ordered hardware, performed welding work, and put in man hours. While I was credited labor I was not credited all of it, again, for something that could have been assessed by qualified personnel with many years of experience behind them. The problem was it wasn't communicated that the anchor was 55 lbs. they even tried to tell me they didn't know and I countered they did know and it was mentioned (and acknowledged) in several emails. They had not shared the information internally, this is a recurring theme with them on this project. For the rigging work they gave me an estimate of 7000 and the final invoice was 4378. I mean, that's pretty off. People might say, "yeah but it's in your favor". Ok, but it's an in accurate estimate by any standard. They did better with the chainplate and bow work. I asked them not to go over 4000 and they hit 200 over before taxes...it's fine. My total for the rigging, chainplates, and anchor roller install was 8935. Because of the poor planning on the bow work they gave me the mantus anchor for half price. Works for me. The poor internal communication is my only real beef. The work was good, some had to be redone but nothing that was a big deal. A windex bolt came loose, there was a chain plate leak, lack of proper planning caused loss of time and labor hours, and at one point the fuller drum wasn't secured in high winds and scratched and scuffed my deck. I like Yacht Rigger's enthusiasm but wish there was more of a project management mentality with their execution. By all accounts, they are the best in the area. I only hope my review serves to help people anticipate communication problems that could arise with this team.

The go-to riggers in West Florida, hands down. The entire team is not only knowledgeable, but potentially the highest integrity marine outfit you'll ever work with. They've expertly rigged my 46' cruising cat and I've seen firsthand their work on other sailboats. Truly the best around.

I received a call from the company and although less than pleasant, and obvious they had read my review, they agreed to buy back a part bought because the first electrician they sent misdiagnosed the problem.

Sep 18, 2021

Hi James. Thankfully there are always two sides to a story. I'm glad I'm able to give our version. This might seem long winded but I feel it's necessary to be so that we can explain what happened here clearly - although I have told you this over the phone already. First off, yes, we did have a rather unpleasant conversation a few days ago, mostly I would say, due to you feeling the need to constantly curse at me, and while doing so accuse our team of committing fraud on the job. Back to the job in question. When you initially called in with wind instrument problems we sent out a team to replace the masthead anemometer (transducer) which is the most common cause of failure in these systems. This did not solve the issue, so we sent out an electrician to test the rest of the system. The electrician (whom you are incorrectly accusing of incompetence), followed Raymarine tech support guidelines in troubleshooting the unit, and based on their live feedback, was under the impression your head unit had a bad ground. Once you supplied the new head unit it became apparent this was not the case - electrical fault finding in electronics is tricky at best. We did not charge you for a single minute of the first electricians time (two call-outs) as we realized the diagnosis was incorrect and it would be unfair to do so. The second electrician used a different technique, and established an issue with the internal mast wiring. So we returned and replaced the mast wiring. Once this was done, we plugged in your old transducer (which I now realize you are accusing us of switching out with another, bad unit because we didn't label the unit to your liking) and it still didn't work. We double checked the mast base connections, and it still didn't work - so we plugged in the new transducer, and it worked. So both the wiring and the transducer had faults. This is where we dive into the realm of perception vs reality. During our phone conversation you accused our guys of deliberately disconnecting the mast base wiring during the test of the old transducer, and then sneakily reconnecting the wiring when we plugged in our transducer. First off, this is simply offensive. Secondly, this would be a very foolish fraud model as we only make a few dollars on a transducer like that due to the incredibly low margins on electronics. In other words, besides it being immoral behavior, there's no incentive to do so. You continue to maintain that the first electrician was "incompetent" and cost you $220 due to you buying the head unit on eBay. I would have thought you would just place that item on eBay and re-sell it. When I brought this up you lamented that doing so was A LOT of work. Despite this not really being the case, when you expressed not wanting to do this I told you we would do it for you and just write you a check for the $220. This was done on Friday. We have still not received payment for the invoice sent to you for the work performed as of that Friday afternoon. I hope it arrives soon. At the end of the job, yes, it was higher than initially estimated, simply due to the fact that additional parts were bad and some additional labor required to replace them. When I went through the invoice with you line by line to establish which parts of it specifically you took issue with, all you would say was that we were incompetent fraudsters and wouldn't address any items specifically. I'm really not sure what else we could have doing here. Regards Stephen

I have used them before and they did a good job, but this last time was just awful. I had an electrical problem with my wind and direction gushed. They sent an electrician who did not have the correct parts and misdiagnosed my problem as the control head needed replacement. Since I have an older boat I had to find one used on eBay which I did for $220. That wasn't the problem so he contacted another guy who did have the right equipment and knowledge who found the real problem. The Yacht Rigger refused to honor the cost of replacement part I did not need and the eventual bill was about twice the estimate.

I needed a bigger anchor after dragging one night. I called the YR and they spent lots of time helping me decide on a Mantus M2. They delivered the anchor to my boat, helped my son get the crate lifted onto the foredeck, and provided great tech support about greasing the castle nut. I was concerned that I assembled the anchor wrong and they came out and took the anchor apart and reassembled the anchor, free of charge. Great company, great pricing, great customer service.

Thanks guys! Great working with you!

I have known and worked with these guys for many years. It is very difficult to be good at everything but I believe that these guys do a very good job with everything Boat related! Their knowledge and talent is refreshing in an industry that doesn't always have the best reputation. Completing difficult jobs in a very difficult time right now with Covid challenges, it's nice to have a company that you can count on like the Yacht Rigger

Hey Colin, Thanks very much for the review. Always good doing business with you guys.

I bought a new to me sailboat in oct 2020 and was told by my surveyor that it needed a new rig (all new standing rigging). This is where the yacht riggers come in, even though I was out of town they came to my boat and did an inspection. I was called by Stephen at the yacht riggers and told that my surveyor I was correct and that I didn need a new rig. This gave me the ability to use that during my negotiations for the price of the sailboat. I purchased at the end of oct, and had the sailboat to st Petersburg and getting the rig replaced by jan. I would say they were about a month out for repairs like this. I showed up the day of for the mast removal onetime and so was their crane operator (this is outsourced) they share space with a working yard. They removed the mast and allowed me to be apart of the process as much and or as little as I wanted. I participated a lot in and throughout the process. It took about a month before my mast was refurbished and all new standing rigging in place and a time scheduled for me to have it re-stepped. They also scheduled me with another person who was having theirs taken down to reduce the cost of the crane between the other boat and mine. This was prob a 200-300 savings for myself and the other boat. The job was finished fast and with great communication. I even had bought a new lamp for the mast but they had replaced it already and instead of charging me for the lamp I just gave them mine which I had ordered because I got it at a significant discount and they called it square no charge for the install etc etc. I also continued to use the yacht rigger during my next 2months in st Pete for a few more projects. I ordered from them a new Atlantic tower in a box. No fault to them the company had sent the next size up tower which at first was a pain for myself as I was installing it myself and was getting frustrated with the process because I could not figure out why it was still to large after following all instructions. I called and spoke with the yacht riggers about this and they figured out that it was in fact the wrong size for my vessel but would work as long as I did a few more things which would mean I actually have a beefier tower then I needed or paid for which isn't a bad thing. But without question one of the owners came over to my boat that day and helped me fix the problem giving me about 3 hours of their time which was prob about 8-10 hours of mine had I not had Brian helping me out. This lead to me getting my tower up the same day I started the project and now having a beefier setup for my new solar panels I was installing too. Brian who's amazing at welding also was able to help me with my heat exchanger. He was able to reconfigure the mixing elbow end of my heat exchanger which had blown a hole and was causing my engine to over heat and fixed in about a week for a few hundred dollars making the heat exchanger look and work like new. This compared to the 2300 dollars it would have cost for a new heat exchanger for my yammer was amazing. These guys seem to do it all and do it with a smile! This was by far a great experience with 99% of the stuff I needed being done on time and for under budget. I would go back to them in a heart beat!

in my 70 years in the industry they are literally the best people to work with in the industry!

Inside a private €76M Feadship superyacht

Having had Feadship deliver his perfect private yacht in 2012, the experienced owner of the 68.77 metre Drizzle has put the superyacht on the market for the first time. Listed at €76,000,000 with VAT paid, she features among the top 25 most expensive boats currently for sale, and for good reason.

Drizzle is offered for sale in exceptional condition and her broker, Hamilton Marine International ’s Jonathan Syrett, was urging prospective buyers to see for themselves during the Monaco Yacht Show in September. In the meantime, we get to know what has made Drizzle a standout addition to the market…

When placing the new-build order for Drizzle back in 2008, the owner recruited a team of expert designers at British studio RWD to collaborate closely on an interior that would stand the test of time. The result was a neutral, comfortable and contemporary interior, customised to feel like a home away from home, while offering wide appeal to any would-be owner looking for a seamless changeover and eager to get out to sea with no time to wait for a new build.

Thanks to her near-perfect condition, Drizzle is ready to go. And her comprehensive maintenance schedule – which has been overseen by her highly experienced crew and adoring owner – means that she won’t need a yard period any time soon. In 2019, a refit project saw Drizzle repainted and fitted with a new, full-width swim platform with a shower and retractable self-washing swim ladder, and she is offered for sale following her Lloyds 10-Year Special Survey completed in May this year.

Social spaces

Drizzle can cater to any indoor or outdoor occasion thanks to her range of social areas. Starting with the top deck, an open sun deck features three lounge areas, a bar and a gym that includes a Technogym treadmill and elliptical walker, as well as a selection of free weights and a weight bench.

The bridge deck has a full walkaround layout and lounge, as does the main deck below, which also features an al fresco dining table aft. Additionally, guests can move into the main saloon and dine at the large formal table. The forward area of the main deck is dedicated to the owner’s suite, which features large windows, an office area, an en suite bathroom and dressing room. The remaining six en suite staterooms are predominantly on the lower deck and can accommodate a total of 12 guests. All the guest spaces on board Drizzle are connected to WiFi and benefit from state-of-the-art entertainment systems.

Toys and crew

Drizzle has a complement of 18 crew, many of which have remained on board for some time, and are enjoying a long and happy career, which is a testament to the owner’s considerations of crew welfare and comfort. As guests will see during the Monaco Yacht Show, all of Drizzle ’s crew areas have been maintained and finished to the highest possible standard, including the separate large crew lounge and crew mess fitted with entertainment systems.

With a lower deck accessway solely for the crew to easily access guest spaces above, the crews can easily tend to guests during longer trips. To enhance comfort of these longer journeys, the yacht includes high-end amenities such as a large laundry room, wine stores, trash stores and a walk-in fridge-freezer. Drizzle ’s impressive engine room has been designed with a segregated generator and water treatment system rooms, which has not only future-proofed her design, but kept her running consistently well, particularly when achieving a transpacific range of 5,500 nautical miles, which is attainable when cruising at nine knots.

There is also ample space dedicated to the toy garage and tender bay, where the crew can assist guests with using the yacht’s two 7.5 metre tenders, and equipment such as wave runners, SeaBobs and inflatables. Also in the toy chest are two BIC windsurfers, two BIC kayaks, four sets of Scubapro dive gear, two Hobie SUPs and a self-supported slide.
