Feadship, the Dutch superyacht builder, has just revealed the first glimpse of their groundbreaking Project 710. This 84-meter-long masterpiece combines advanced technology, bold design, and environmental sustainability, marking a significant step in Feadship's ambitious goal to build zero-emission superyachts by 2030.
The yard in Aalsmeer witnessed the magnificent yacht slipping out of her construction hall, where her low profile, horizontal styling features, and clean shapes create a stunning visual presence. Designed to challenge traditional yacht norms, Project 710 features an innovative layout, showcasing the collaboration between British design firm RWD and MONK design.
Project 710 offers surprising destination spaces, including an asymmetrical atrium staircase leading to a lower deck dining saloon, a bow observation lounge, and an Aqua Lounge with underwater windows. Terraced aft decks without pillars and glass balustrades ensure unobstructed views, connecting guests to the natural environment.
A game-changer in superyacht engineering, Project 710 is the first of its kind to focus on carbon reduction through hull optimization at cruising speed, weight control, and advancements in electric propulsion. The yacht is equipped to run on HVO, a second-generation biodiesel, which reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 90% during sea trials and delivery.
Feadship's Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program powers Project 710, providing 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than its first hybrid yacht, Savannah. The yacht features electric Veth contra-rotating thrusters for drive and steering, replacing traditional drive shafts and rudders, maximizing efficiency and minimizing vibration.
The engineering team has also focused on waste heat recovery, repurposing heat from the custom variable-speed generators, and air conditioner chiller for various applications, including pool water heating and engine preheating. An innovative heat pump system even allows the yacht to draw heat from seawater.
Project 710 is an extraordinary milestone in the superyacht industry, setting new standards in design, engineering, and sustainability.
