Feadship Resale's third 2026 sale keeps Graycliffs in the family

A third sale, and the builder's own broker did it again

Feadship Resale and Edmiston confirmed on 7 August 2026 that they had completed the sale of Graycliffs, a 33.5-metre Feadship delivered in 2016 under the name Moon Sand Too, to an American buyer. The deal ran as a joint central listing, with Hannah Wolstenholme of Edmiston representing the buyer's side and Feadship Resale handling the seller's. Neither firm disclosed the closing figure. It is the third yacht Feadship Resale has sold in 2026 alone, after the 55.2-metre Somnium in February and the 60.96-metre Samadhi in March, and it confirms something an owner weighing how to sell a Feadship should already have on their radar: the yard's in-house desk is no longer a side channel, it is doing a meaningful share of the volume.

Feadship Resale exists for a specific reason that an open brokerage cannot fully replicate. Because Feadship builds every hull itself and keeps the production and service records, its resale arm can hand a prospective buyer a documented history that an independent broker selling a used Feadship has to source secondhand, if it can get it at all. That is the pitch, and three deals in eight months is the closest thing to proof of it working that the yard has offered this year.

The boat itself: a roomy 2016 De Voogt for her length

Graycliffs was drawn by Feadship's own De Voogt naval architecture and design studio, with interiors by Bannenberg & Rowell, and built in aluminium. Her registry specifications put her at 262 gross tons, powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M93 diesels rated at 1,800hp each, 3,600hp combined, for a 20-knot top speed, a 12-knot cruise and a quoted range of 3,000 nautical miles at that cruising speed - enough to cross the Atlantic without refuelling, a relevant figure for an American buyer who may want to reposition her rather than keep her in Europe.

She sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins - an owner's suite, a VIP, a double and a twin - with 6 crew aboard to run her, a ratio that favours guest space over the larger crew complements more common on newer 33-metre builds. Graycliffs had been on the market long enough to leave a price trail of her own: her most recent public asking figure sat near USD 15 million after a USD 1.9 million reduction, though - as with the closing price - Feadship Resale did not confirm what she ultimately sold for.

Somnium and Samadhi: the two deals that came before her

Somnium, Feadship Resale's biggest deal of the year so far, sold in February for a reported USD 68 million, co-brokered with Camper & Nicholsons. The 55.2-metre all-aluminium yacht was only five years old at the time of sale, having launched in 2021 and won a Neptune at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards - a case where the resale desk was moving a yacht still well inside her competitive life, not an ageing hull looking for a final owner.

Samadhi went the opposite way. The 60.96-metre steel-and-aluminium yacht, built in 2006 and given an extensive refit completed in 2023, sold off-market in March through a joint listing with Worth Avenue Yachts while she was lying in Phuket, Thailand. After the sale closed she made a 9,000-nautical-mile delivery voyage back to Feadship's own yard in Amsterdam - and Feadship has since published its own account of that yacht's return, framing the resale less as an exit and more as the first leg of a refit relationship that keeps her inside the builder's orbit for years to come.

What the channel buys an owner, and what it costs a buyer

For an owner deciding how to sell a Feadship, the case for routing through Feadship Resale is straightforward: access to the yard's own build and maintenance archive, and a shortlist of prospective buyers who are already Feadship owners or have expressed interest directly to the builder, rather than a cold market search. Samadhi's post-sale return to the Amsterdam yard for further work is the clearest illustration of the loop the builder is trying to close - a boat can be resold and refitted inside the same relationship, with Feadship earning twice from one hull changing hands.

For a buyer, the trade-off is transparency. None of this year's three deals closed at a disclosed price except Somnium, whose USD 68 million figure only became public because it was reported by press outlets rather than announced by either broker. Samadhi and Graycliffs both closed without a published number, which leaves a buyer pricing a comparable 33 to 60-metre Feadship with a thinner set of hard data points than an open-market sale would generate - the asking prices and their cuts are on the record, but the number that actually changed hands twice out of three times was not.

What is not published

Graycliffs' closing price, the buyer's identity beyond nationality, and any documentation of her maintenance or refit history in the nine years since her 2016 delivery were not disclosed in the sale announcement. Feadship Resale has also not said whether it charges sellers a different commission structure than an independent broker would, or how many more Feadships remain listed with its desk for the rest of 2026 - both figures a seller comparing channels would want before choosing one over an open listing.

What is on the record is enough to establish the pattern rather than the fine print: three sales in eight months, spanning a five-year-old award winner, a twenty-year-old yacht mid-refit relationship, and a nine-year-old 33-metre now with a new American owner. Whether that volume holds up through the rest of 2026, and whether Feadship publishes more of the pricing detail an open market would have forced into view, is what a prospective seller should be watching next.
