Feadship's latest masterpiece, the 75.75-meter ONE, has departed from the Kaag yard. It embodies a harmonious blend of luxury and robust elegance tailored for private escapes and high-end charters. ONE boasts a straightforward yet sophisticated design by the renowned Studio De Voogt, with interiors crafted by Gilles & Boissier, a Paris-based design firm celebrated for the acclaimed Baccarat Hotel in New York. Set for delivery in early 2025, ONE represents a new standard in yacht design, exuding luxury and functionality in every detail.
A Design Rooted in Masculine Elegance and Timeless Aesthetics
From the outset, the design directive was clear: a masculine and timeless aesthetic that radiates strength without sacrificing grace. This vision is precisely what designer Thijs Orth and the Studio De Voogt team set out to realize. With predominantly straight lines softened by nuanced curvatures, the exterior embodies a robust presence while remaining invitingly sleek and "chic."
"The brief was for a masculine design that was also timeless and elegant," says Orth. "The predominantly straight lines and bold forms are combined with subtly nuanced surfaces that catch the light and make the whole yacht interesting. As always, we collaborated closely with the engineers to ensure everything worked as it should."
Key to this design's success is its architectural harmony and fluidity, achieved through subtle detailing that balances strength with a softer, sophisticated touch. Chamfered edges and horizontal lines enhance the yacht's silhouette, ensuring it captivates from any angle, whether gliding across open waters or anchored in an exclusive marina.
Exterior Highlights: Bold Forms and a Distinctive Tumblehome
A central feature of ONE's exterior design is the chamfered edge along the bulwark at the bow, which gracefully flattens as it extends towards the yacht's aft. This thoughtful detail is mirrored on the main deck windows and the superstructure, creating visual symmetry that underscores the yacht's streamlined profile. Adding to its unique character, the sundeck roof carries a pronounced tumblehome—a curvature that enhances the yacht's sensuality when viewed from the stern.
This meticulous design creates a fascinating interplay of light and shadow, adding visual interest while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across all four decks. Every line and angle was refined to convey power and style, capturing the essence of contemporary yacht design while establishing a timeless look that will endure for years.
A Luxurious Interior by Gilles & Boissier: Comfort Meets Sophistication
Within this exceptional vessel, Parisian design firm Gilles & Boissier has created an interior that radiates refined luxury. Known for their signature blending of contrasting textures and tones, the team brought warmth and depth to the yacht's interior spaces, transforming them into intimate and welcoming environments.
The main deck features a lavish full-beam VIP stateroom with its private lounge and an integrated balcony, creating a true retreat within a retreat. This expansive suite also doubles as a secondary master stateroom, adding flexibility for charter guests wanting additional space and privacy. On the deck above, the master stateroom offers exclusive access to a terrace outfitted with a Jacuzzi and adaptable lounge area, providing a secluded space for relaxation and enjoyment.
This seamless blend of form and function extends throughout the yacht's design. Each stateroom, lounge, and communal area has been thoughtfully arranged to provide an intimate experience while maintaining the grandeur expected of a vessel of this caliber.
An Oasis of Onboard Amenities for Ultimate Relaxation
Aboard ONE, guests are treated to amenities designed to maximize leisure and enjoyment. The yacht's main deck aft features a large pool, while the sundeck offers a hot tub, providing two distinct areas for relaxation under the sun. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the bridge deck's aft-facing gym, complete with wrap-around glazing and glass doors that open on three sides, allowing for uninterrupted ocean views during a workout.
Orth's design also sidesteps recent trends, choosing a more traditional transom layout with sweeping staircases that lead to an expansive swim platform. Here, guests can relax close to the water or access the beach club—a space illuminated by natural light filtering through the pool's glass bottom, creating a serene, sunlit atmosphere.
In another example, for Feadship, the diagonal teak decking adds a unique visual element to the yacht's layout, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that distinguishes ONE from other vessels in its class.
Seamless Integration of Function and Performance
Beyond its luxurious accommodations and thoughtful design, ONE is engineered to perform. Powered by twin MTU engines with conventional shafts and propellers, this yacht achieves over 15 knots and can cruise up to 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, making it ideal for long-distance journeys. This performance capability enhances its appeal as a charter vessel, able to traverse vast stretches of ocean with ease and reliability.
With versatile accommodations for up to twelve guests, including the master stateroom, VIP suite, and four double staterooms on the lower deck, ONE ensures every guest enjoys privacy and comfort onboard. Its eighteen-member crew quarters support exemplary service, with crew areas designed to enhance efficiency and seamless operations throughout each journey.
Built for Exploration: A Touch-and-Go Helipad, Water Toys, and More
Further emphasizing its appeal as a luxury charter yacht, ONE is outfitted with various features designed for exploration. The raised foredeck accommodates a touch-and-go helipad, allowing guests to arrive and depart in style while avoiding busy marinas. Below the deck, a spacious garage houses a 9.5-meter limousine tender, crew tender, and an assortment of water toys, ensuring every adventure is fully supported.
ONE's layout maximizes functionality without compromising luxury, creating an atmosphere that feels as inviting as it does impressive. From the expansive swim platform to the sundeck's panoramic views, every detail reflects a commitment to aesthetics and purpose.
A Milestone in Feadship's Legacy of Excellence
ONE represents Feadship's dedication to pushing the boundaries of yacht design and construction. By combining powerful lines, functional beauty, and advanced engineering, the yard has crafted a vessel that meets the demands of discerning yacht owners and charter guests. Orth and his team have achieved the elusive balance between strength and elegance, creating a yacht that is, in his words, "robust yet sleek and chic."
This highly anticipated yacht will be represented for sale by Arjen van Elk on behalf of Feadship in collaboration with Edmiston. Interested buyers can expect a vessel that meets the highest standards of luxury and offers robust functionality, whether for private family getaways or memorable charter experiences.
As ONE prepares to set sail in 2025, it is clear that Feadship has again succeeded in elevating yacht design to an art form. Through the combined vision of Studio De Voogt and Gilles & Boissier, ONE stands as a testament to the beauty of masculine elegance, timeless sophistication, and unmatched performance—a true icon in luxury yachting.
