A 92 metre in the yard's prime run

Delivered in 2016 at 92 metres, Aquarius sits in the strong run of very large Feadships that marked the middle of the decade. At 2,856 GT she offers real flagship volume with the finish of a full-custom Dutch build. Her beam of 13.5 metres and draft of 3.95 metres balance internal volume with an easy draught for cruising. She was widely admired at launch for a timeless profile that avoids passing fashion. She remains a benchmark for the yard's classic displacement yachts.

Her importance rests on balance and restraint. Aquarius shows how Feadship can deliver grand scale without shouting for attention, in a yacht built to travel far and stay comfortable. The single design vision behind her gives her a rare coherence from waterline to sun deck. For owners drawn to calm confidence over spectacle, she set a clear reference. Her clean lines have kept her looking current since delivery.

Sinot draws a timeless profile

Both the exterior and the interior are the work of Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design, giving Aquarius a consistency of style across the whole yacht. The profile is long and elegant, with a measured sheer and clean glazing that carries her volume with grace. The look was drawn to age well and it has held up cleanly since 2016. De Voogt Naval Architects developed the hull beneath. Wide walkways and low guardrails keep the connection to the sea open across the deck.

The outdoor decks are laid out for long days in warm anchorages. Generous sun areas, shaded terraces and a spa pool give owner and guests a range of settings through the day. A helipad extends her reach into remote cruising grounds. A beach club at the stern opens the lower deck to the sea for swimming and easy access to the water. The exterior spaces are arranged to make the most of long views.

Calm and contemporary below

Inside, Sinot carried the same restrained hand through the guest spaces, favouring clean surfaces and fine natural materials. Aquarius accommodates 14 guests across seven staterooms, supported by a crew of around 31. The owner's quarters are given generous private space away from the flow of guests. The interior reads as serene and residential in keeping with the exterior. Natural timber, stone and soft neutral tones set the calm mood throughout.

The volume of a 92 metre hull lets the interior give whole rooms to a single use. There is space for formal and informal dining, wellness areas and quiet lounges set apart from the busier decks. Light floods the guest areas through large windows. Feadship joinery underpins the calm interior with the finish expected at this level. The result feels closer to a private residence than a boat.

Built for long ocean miles

Aquarius is powered by two MTU diesel engines that give her a top speed of around 17 knots. Her reported range of about 5,500 nautical miles allows genuine ocean crossings between fuelling stops. The displacement hull is set up for comfortable passage-making across open water. Large tankage supports long spells away from port. Her steel hull and aluminium superstructure add up to a gross tonnage of 2,856 GT.

A yacht of this value carries redundancy across its critical systems for cruising far from support. The volume of the hull allows generous technical and storage spaces below the guest areas. Zero-speed stabilisation holds her level at rest for comfort at anchor. The machinery is arranged for long, self-sufficient voyages. Her tankage and systems support extended time in remote grounds.

A quietly confident cruiser

Aquarius answers the brief of an owner who values timeless design and long range over headline features. Her coherent Sinot styling gives her a lasting appeal that holds value across the years. Yachts of this quality attract steady interest whenever they appear on the market. She is a true ocean cruiser for a discerning owner. Her clean, timeless lines help her hold value across the years.

For an owner she offers generous private quarters, calm social spaces and the reach to cruise widely in comfort. The size suits family groups and long itineraries far from the marina. Running a 92 metre yacht is a long-term commitment that rewards an owner who plans to use her fully. Aquarius stands among the most elegant of the yard's classic flagships. Her restraint is exactly what draws a certain kind of owner.

Who it is for: The owner who prizes timeless design and genuine ocean range in a calm, coherent 92 metre flagship.
