Feadship Launches First F45 Vantage

Feadship has launched Space, the first in their F45 Vantage semi-custom line. The 146-foot motoryacht is the flagship of the first series of three (the other two are already sold and slated for delivery at the end of 2007 and summer of 2008). The F45 Vantage is designed to be a home away from home and serve as a second home or floating beach house. The designers did with the interior formal dining room and placed the galley on the lower deck to offer more space for guest suites on the main deck. Each F45 Vantage can be customized through four different styles: Miami (classic art deco), Monaco (informal French), Milano (classic modern) and Nautical (distinguished and traditional). The yacht has a speed of 14.5 knots. A second series of three is already in production. The F45s will have four guest cabins (Space has three due to a configuration change). The owner's stateroom has a large glass skylight. Outside the sun deck has a Jacuzzi and sun pads. The lower deck includes the galley, crew mess, captain's cabin and four crew cabins.

It's not the most inspiring rendering I've ever seen but this is the only pic I've seen for the latest yacht from Hakvoort, the 128-foot Pretty Woman. The yacht is being built for charter and will have a range of 3,800 nautical miles and a cruising speed of 10.5 knots. The steel-hulled yacht has an aluminum alloy superstructure she which was designed by Azure Naval Architects. The interior design by Michela Reverberri is designed to sleep 12 guests. The interior has three crew cabins and a crew mess. The guest area includes four ensuite double guest cabins. The aft two cabins will have walk-in wardrobes and will be separated by a sliding wall so that they can be combined into a single VIP stateroom. The forward part of the main deck holds a tender and a deck crane. The wide aft deck includes seating for eight, two bars, a fridge/icemaker and stairways to the integrated swimming platform. The lounge has two built-in sofas in an open plan arrangement with the dining area. The division between the two includes a built-in dry bar and a large retractable flatscreen TV and DVD player. The full-beam owner's stateroom includes a king-size bed, LCD TV, washing machine, a large walk-in wardrobe with seats, and a study will include a desk and built-in sofa. The open aft area on the bridge deck includes an icemaker, fridge and two oval-shaped built-in sofas and a 10-person teak dining table. The sun deck has U-shaped sofas and a whirlpool bathtub that will hold four to six people.
