Feadship's Anonymous 83m Project 832 Rolls Out, Delivery Q4 2027

A Hull With a Number, Not Yet a Name

Project 832 is the working designation for an 83.25-metre Feadship new build whose hull emerged from the Casco en Sectiebouw sheds in Rotterdam this week, according to SuperYacht Times, which credited the sighting to a reader photographer, and BOAT International, which credited photographer Ruben Griffioen. Feadship has disclosed almost nothing about her beyond the naval architecture, in keeping with the yard's long-standing practice of keeping new builds anonymous until an owner chooses to go public, if they ever do. The hull's next move is to Feadship's Amsterdam facility, where the superstructure will be joined and outfitting will begin.

That silence is deliberate rather than a gap in reporting. Feadship builds almost exclusively to private commission, and a majority of its clients choose to stay unnamed through delivery and often after it; this desk has covered three separate Feadships this year, Destiny, Milky Way and Project 716, that only became publicly identifiable at or near handover. Project 832 is currently earlier in that cycle than any of those were when first sighted, which is why even her name is not yet public, only her hull number.

The Numbers Behind an Unnamed Hull

BOATPro data cited by BOAT International puts Project 832 at 2,707 gross tons on a 13.4-metre beam and a 3.8-metre draught, while SuperYacht Times independently reported a beam of 13.4 metres, a draught of 3.75 metres and gross tonnage above 2,700 - the two sources agree within rounding on every figure they both cite. At roughly 32.5 GT per metre of length, she sits in the middle of Feadship's own recent range: this desk's coverage of the yard's 2026 deliveries put the 80-metre Project 716 at 2,450 GT (about 30.6 GT per metre), the 89.6-metre Milky Way at 2,623 GT (about 29.3 GT per metre) and the 101-metre Destiny at roughly 3,840 GT (about 38 GT per metre) - so Project 832 is denser than either of the two smaller yachts but well short of Destiny's, which suggests either a lower-volume superstructure or a design choice to keep her profile leaner than the flagship.

Construction began in September 2025, per BOATPro, which puts hull completion at roughly eleven months after steel cutting, and Feadship de Voogt Naval Architects designed her in-house rather than through an outside naval architecture firm, the arrangement Feadship uses for the majority of its own-brand builds. Delivery is anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2027, meaning the yard is planning on a further year or so of outfitting and sea trials after the superstructure is joined, a normal runway for an 80-metre-plus custom Feadship.

Why the Hull Leaves Rotterdam At All

Project 832 is moving to Amsterdam because Feadship does not build its own steel and aluminium hulls at the yards that finish them. Casco- en Sectiebouw Rotterdam, the Rotterdam facility she just left, describes its own focus as building steel sections and complete hulls for exclusive yachts to above-average quality tolerances; it is a specialist structural contractor, not a Feadship-owned site. The move to Van Lent's own Amsterdam and Kaag facilities is the point at which a project stops being steel and starts becoming a yacht, with mechanical, electrical and interior fit-out all happening after the transfer, which is why trade press treats the move itself as a milestone worth photographing.

The comparison point is Project 829, sold and now known as Vanish III, whose keel was laid at CSR in July 2024 and which did not transfer to Van Lent's Kaag facility until January 2026, roughly eighteen months of structural work. Project 832 has covered a broadly similar hull-construction phase in about eleven months since her September 2025 start, on BOATPro's figures, though the two yachts are different sizes and Feadship has not explained the gap, so it reads as a range rather than a fixed rule: a large custom Feadship hull currently takes somewhere between roughly eleven and eighteen months at CSR before outfitting can even begin.

What a Buyer Actually Learns From This

The real value of a hull-rollout story is the queue it reveals, not the hull itself. SuperYacht Times reports that Feadship currently has thirteen superyachts under construction, including the 143-metre flagship Project Maestro, while BOAT International separately notes that the 82.5-metre Project 829 and the 79.9-metre Project 1015 were both sighted for the first time earlier this year - meaning at least three Feadships in the 80-metre class alone are moving through the yard's pipeline at once. For anyone weighing a new commission against a brokerage listing, that is the concrete data point: an order placed today at Feadship joins a queue already stacked with comparable tonnage, and a September 2025 keel to a Q4 2027 delivery is roughly the two-year minimum a buyer should expect to wait, not counting time spent negotiating and specifying before steel is even cut.

It also explains why Feadship's resale market stays active even as its new-build order book grows: this desk has already covered three Feadship resales this year, the 101-metre Destiny's benchmark handover aside, precisely because buyers unwilling to wait two-plus years for a bare hull increasingly look to secondhand Feadships already in the water. Project 832 does not change that dynamic, but her queue position - behind at least Maestro, 829 and 1015 in terms of build progress - is a fair proxy for how long a new order placed today would actually take, and it is the only proxy available: Feadship has given no indication of when, or whether, Project 832's owner intends to be identified before delivery.
