The Feadship brokerage market
Feadship yachts are consistently among the most sought-after vessels on the brokerage market. The combination of engineering quality, comprehensive documentation, and strong brand recognition creates demand that exceeds supply — Feadship vessels frequently sell quickly and sometimes before a public listing is established. The most reliable strategy for a buyer is to appoint a specialist broker with active relationships in the Feadship ownership community, giving access to off-market opportunities before they reach the open market.
SuperYachtReview lists all publicly available Feadship yachts for sale, updated regularly as listings are added and withdrawn. The full brokerage market context — pricing trends, days on market, and comparable sales — is available in our market intelligence section. Industry standards for the transaction are maintained by MYBA.
Value retention and resale
Feadship yachts hold their value better than the superyacht market average. Several factors contribute: the engineering quality means maintenance costs are lower and major mechanical failures are less frequent; the build documentation is comprehensive, which reduces survey risk and increases buyer confidence; and the Feadship brand carries a premium that is sustained by the yard's consistent output quality over decades. Brokers consistently cite Feadship as one of the top two or three builders for resale value, alongside Lürssen and selected Heesen vessels.
The practical implication: the initial premium paid for a Feadship is partly recovered at resale. The gap between buying a Feadship and buying a comparable vessel from a less distinguished yard is smaller at resale than at purchase. This makes the total cost of Feadship ownership more competitive than the purchase price differential alone suggests.
Due diligence for a Feadship purchase
The survey and due diligence process for a Feadship is typically more straightforward than with other yards — not because less scrutiny is required, but because the documentation is more complete and the build quality is more consistent. The key areas to focus on in a Feadship survey: hybrid propulsion system condition and battery health (for post-2015 vessels), running gear (shafts, propellers, stern tubes), stabiliser systems, and the completeness of the class record. The Lloyd's Register continuous survey record is the single most important document to request.
