The 57.6-metre Feadship superyacht W is now on the market with Edmiston's Andrew Bond. Delivered as Larisa in 2013, the superyacht cruised under the same owner until she was sold in 2019. A 11-month refit soon followed, which saw W emerge from Feadship's Holland facilities with a gleaming silver hull, a larger Jacuzzi and an all-new television lounge.
BOAT takes a closer look at this yacht for sale...
1. She's a proven island cruiser
W has earned her cruising stripes, having chartered extensively across the Bahamas, the Exuma Islands, the Abacos Islands and the Eleuthera Islands. "Last summer, we did 69 days cruising in the Mediterranean," said W's current owner. "And because of her new Quantum XT stabilisation system, she felt like she was bolted to the ocean floor."
Bonus fact: The superyacht also made headlines last year when her crew rescued a man that had been stranded off the Spanish coast for five days.
2. Her interiors are Byzantine-inspired
British studio Bannenberg and Rowell is the mind behind W's chic interiors, with fresh touches added by A La Mer during her refit. Greek, Italian and Byzantine influences are evident in the interior details, including her glass overlays and checkerboard marble bathroom.
The full-beam owner's cabin benefits from a large bathtub with ocean views, a spacious dressing area, a separate lounge area and a private balcony. The other four cabins lie on the lower deck, all with entertainment centres, Sharp LCD television screens and en suite bathroom facilities.
3. She has a 21-metre-long sundeck
The sundeck is W's social hub, and her impressive length houses a sit-up bar, a raised Jacuzzi, forward-facing daybeds and a table for shaded, open-air dining. There's also plenty of space aft to accommodate some more sunloungers and sofa seating.
Bonus fact: Another al fresco lounge can be found on the bridge deck, which offers "the perfect setting for relaxed evening drinks" according to the broker.
"The best thing about W is that she is a steel-hulled Feadship – and nothing even comes close," said the owner. "She gives you the freedom to explore anywhere in the world, unlike coastal yachts built by other companies."
Based in Fort Lauderdale, W is asking €49,950,000. This makes her one of the most expensive superyachts currently for sale.
