Dutch yard Feadship has launched the 79.9-metre Project 714 from its facilities in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands. The superyacht is now ready to undergo final outfitting and sea trials ahead of her delivery this year.
Built in steel and aluminium, Project 714 has an approximate volume of 2,500GT. Very little detail has been disclosed on the new build since construction began in early 2021, though British studio RWD has now been confirmed as exterior designer, with naval architecture by Feadship De Voogt.
New imagery reveals characteristic Feadship lines, including a subtle clipper bow and expansive on-deck space, as well as a blue and white colour scheme shared with another recent Feadship, the 75.8-metre One.
Speaking of sharing, Project 714 has the same diesel-electric power system as the 84.2-metre Obsidian, which has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than the Dutch yard's first hybrid yacht, Savannah. The propulsion and steering are delivered by two contra-rotating thrusters, which eliminate the need for traditional drive shafts and rudders, significantly reducing drag and enhancing efficiency.
Key specs include a 13.6-metre beam and a draught of 3.9 metres.
According to BOATPro, Feadship has 18 yachts currently under construction. This includes the 101.2-metre Project 1014, which was last seen entering outfitting in November 2024.
