The yachting industry is increasingly witnessing transformative designs seamlessly blending luxury with sustainability. Feadship, a name synonymous with elite maritime luxury, has again captured the industry's attention with the launch of the 84.20-meter Obsidian, setting a new benchmark in the drive towards carbon-neutral super yachting by 2030.
Obsidian's inception comes with an impressive legacy. Commissioned to be even more energy efficient than Feadship's 2015 marvel, Savannah, Obsidian's design challenge was to reduce environmental impact by over 30% despite the looming challenges of a global pandemic. While a significant feat, the 12-month design period was marked by another major milestone: it was accomplished without in-person collaboration due to the Covid-19 lockdowns.
