The 2026 order book
Feadship's order book operates on a different timescale to most yards. Build slots are typically allocated 4–6 years in advance, meaning the vessels currently in construction at Aalsmeer and Kaag were commissioned in the 2020–2022 period. The yard does not comment publicly on active projects, and owner confidentiality is strictly maintained — even vessel hull numbers are rarely confirmed before delivery.
What industry sources suggest for 2026: at least two deliveries from the De Vries yard and one from Royal Van Lent, in a size range consistent with vessels commissioned at the 55–80 metre scale. At least one project is understood to incorporate the next generation of Feadship's hybrid propulsion technology, building on the systems developed for Aquila. For the wider new build market context, Boat International's new build tracker provides the most comprehensive public record of industry deliveries.
Sustainability in Feadship's new builds
Every new Feadship specification now includes a sustainability brief. The BREATHE programme has moved from an aspirational framework to an operational reality — the technology options available to new build clients include full hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, hydrogen fuel cell auxiliary power, solar integration, shore power systems, and advanced energy management that optimises fuel consumption across the vessel's operating profile.
For buyers considering a new Feadship, the sustainability specification is not an add-on — it is integrated into the design process from the naval architecture phase. Feadship's in-house engineers work with clients to identify the sustainability package appropriate to their intended cruising profile and operational patterns. Classification of new builds is handled by Lloyd's Register, which has developed specific notation frameworks for hybrid and alternative-fuel vessels.
How to commission a Feadship
A new Feadship commission begins with an initial project brief — a description of the owner's vision, intended use, cruising regions, and approximate size. This is shared with the yard, which evaluates technical feasibility and available slot timing before entering into detailed discussions. The approach can be made directly to Feadship or through a specialist new build broker or project manager.
Feadship is selective about the projects it accepts. The yard's engineers must be able to deliver the quality standard that the Feadship name represents within the proposed timeframe and budget. Projects that would require compromises to this standard are declined. This selectivity is a feature, not a flaw — it is what maintains the consistency of the fleet. Contact details for new build enquiries are available on the Feadship official website.
