Feadship Obsidian: the most beautiful yacht afloat?

Feadship Obsidian left Aalsmeer for Rotterdam today. The 84.2m/ 276'2" yacht, formerly known as Project 710, was launched the 20th of April. Both the exterior and interior design came from the drawing boards of Monk Design and RWD. According to many followers this is the most beautiful yacht afloat. What are your thoughts? Footage by The Nautical Lady & Dutch Yachting.

The maneuvering past the bridge is amazing and its great to see it next to the houses to get a real sense of scale/how giant this thing is!

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

She sure is a beauty... the clean lines, the choice of colors and the proportions are perfect.

[@jng72769]

Looks more like an Italian yacht than a typical Feadship.

[@noelht1]

And just an Italian yacht it’s going backwards 😂

[@tantricpanda]

Stunning !! that asymmetric design to the swimming pool and swim platform is gorgeous.

[@mrsc120]

Ha! I know you’re right but my OCD can’t cope LOL

[@paulnaylor6035]

As ex crew working on yachts and working on a few different builds fedship are in the pinnacle of class of yachts the detail is incredible, Lurssen a close second in my book great looking yacht...

[@Preston_Taylor]

That maneuver through the bridge just blew my kind. Incredible.

[@RespectAllGirlz]

Reminds me of the maneuvers to help feed the starving African babies in the droughts and floods caused by rich polluters.

[@michaeloconnor1479]

I had a special name for my ding-a-ling once, and I called it "Incredible" as well.

[@CrankyAsF]

Hands down the most elegant and stunning yacht I've seen. The pool configuration is outstanding.

[@superyachtsofthecaribbean]

Excellent overall. Elegant yacht, perfect maneuvering. The bridge passing is a true highlight. Top captures 👍

[@TheKnightz2257]

Absolutely stunning, Great work Feadship.

[@imppprint]

I was already impressed with the maneuvering, but then i saw the bridge! wow, they really max out the size of what they can produce in that yar. Awesome to see the signature Feadship design evolve over the decades.

[@HanTheProphet]

lmao right?! they probably have a 3d model of the bridge at the design offices

[@ipadasher]

They can produce larger than that. In this case they pay to remove the bridge entirely. They did it once

[@Stein-cf4lg]

Beautiful boat! Also the big outside doors are very nice! Craftsmanship on the highest level

[@crowdog56]

Wow! Beautiful boat but also a beautiful bit of work getting her down those canals and thru those bridges! And also great photography as usual, Dutch Yachting and Nautical Lady!

[@DutchYachting]

Thank you 👍

[@JasperMeurs]

I absolutely love the architecture of this yacht! 😍

[@chrischris8550]

Great start and end of the video for the location. The yacht itself is like looking at every super yacht in the last 20-30 years and seeing every form of refinement that could be made, to what we currently perceive as an ocean going vessel. A perfectly proportioned vessel and one that i am sure the owner will be happy with.

[@sportsterpeke]

Geweldig schip. Denk 1 van de mooiste uit de Feadship familie!

[@arne3664]

Top notch Dutch quality and design. Hands down one of the best superyacht designs ever, if not the best❤

[@abraxas81]

*Simply SPEECHLESS 😮😮😮* I love the asymmetrical design of pool's stern, and *ALL that TEAK* 🤤!!!

[@rx7dude2006]

Wow the design is one of my all time favorites, the way the pool os skewed and the angle of the aft deck because of it is amazing.

[@Mark-pm9nh]

Woooow ! Amazing video & drone footage . The contrast of a huge superyacht against the houses, tight bridges & narrow channel was super cool . Love the design & off set aft deck / pool & stairs . Mark (Toronto) 💙

[@DutchYachting]

Thanks for watching Mark

[@oliviermace1523]

Toujours de belles images, merci.

[@_PJW_]

That's a gorgeous boat. The best the Dutch can offer.

[@blueman5924]

Wow ! Amazing craftsmanship. 👍👍

[@colbr6733]

Just love this video, the yacht looks incredibly cool, along with some amazing film of the journey. Especially the parts where they have to pass through very narrow sections where the traffic stops to let them pass through. Amazing..👍

[@nationalmarine]

That was a tight squeeze! Masterfully handled that thanks to the crew and the Pieter Van der Wees team. Kudos to all!!

[@williedavismckennie5334]

Looks like some major team work moving that ship around........SKILLS !

[@user-oi8kx1hv5b]

Stunning ... saw her in Antigua recently, baia danke for an excellent video ❤

[@Krrish85]

Yikes that was a tight fit through that bridge 🤐Nerves of steel. Beautiful ship! Nice change from the standard white.

[@frederikn.kalangi5619]

beautiful.... most interesting aft design layout... can't wait to see in it's full glory...

[@Jazzmaster71]

Classic gorgeous yacht. Swimming pool design is out of this world!

[@ericjohnson7867]

I wonder is the OWNER happy, I wish the absolute best,.

[@flyship]

I was very impressed with your video

[@DutchYachting]

Thank you

[@davidgarton2387]

Great drone footage and brilliant tug boat expertise 😮

[@DutchYachting]

Thank you David 👍

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Wow.. kudos to the pilots of those tugs. That was some amazing work getting her through the bridge.

[@tiniselles]

I was there Tuesday morning on a Dutch inland barge. I’m glad we weren’t stuck behind this transport.

[@jamesh1017]

Omg, I very much appreciate all that goes into creation of such wonderful crafts. So to look at them brings a measure of joy to me. But Omg I was caught off guard, didn't know this was movement in this environment, watching as they navigated a turn while passing through a draw bridge style opening which when drawn is not vertical but several degrees towards upper decks, my stress went skyward, not given to drink, but needed one. That's nutz . All while pushes backwards. Crazy. Trust owner was not aboard or watching. My bad great job to all involved. Very cool skills.

[@greglorison7827]

Une elegance et une classe folle....bravo !

[@emmanuelm361]

Beautiful engineering. Still, you should have called this video: Moving a mansion on the water. When you see the scale of this creation it’s out of this world. This video is also an amazing tool for scaling purposes 😉

[@tubeboxtt]

Saw this anchored off Rodney Bay, St Lucia today. 😮

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Master Class in moving this Beauty . Certainly a Gr8 Look'in Yatch . A well executed design repeated. The KISS 💋 Principle

[@dino2400]

Insane ... that is such craftsmanship !! (both the building as the sailing by those tugs)

[@matthewblackburne3056]

Simply ❤breathtaking

[@pervysage4934]

That's a Feadship? Wow doesn't look like their typical style, it's more Italian or maybe a Palmer. Absolutely stunning

[@reetpateet8656]

THAT is some manoeuvring!!😮. I’m not a boat person but design wise that is totally beautiful!👍

[@augustd4956]

This is the kind of channel I’m looking for ! That river looks so small for that Superyacht 😮😮

[@DutchYachting]

Welcome aboard!

[@AndrewDBrown2020]

Outrageous - wow - love it

[@michaelkim3432]

Gorgeous boat!! I'll take one!!!

[@donjohnson3701]

Absolutely gorgeous design! The obvious craftsmanship of the Dutch shipyard is outstanding. However, no helicopter?

[@christianeberz6885]

Beeindruckend 🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bobboberson2024]

Yeah, it's got to be up there. Even though it's about as basic a design as there is. Nice color palette. But the decking is the show stopper. That asymmetrical aft is an absolute stunner.

[@bobbobbly7900]

hell yeah!! i'll go and buy one tomorrow

[@Shipspotting_Vietnam]

Nice!

[@henrikjohansson6050]

Amazing view of a beautiful yacht. Love those videos in the channels, it gives a perspective how huge this yacht are.

[@TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

Damn...So beautiful

[@jamespowell2924]

I'm curious what all the antenna are for on the upper deck in addition to the two domes and multiple GPS antenna?

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Just wondering if the dimensions are limited to the width of that drawbridge? That sure looked like a tight fit

[@desnekke7073]

Very nice shape ❤

[@richardwells4370]

I love this boat and it’s colours are stunning ,but I’ll never get used to that very upright dreadnought type bow

[@user-ir8cm9hn1d]

excellent...

[@DarthWaffle.]

That’s amazing and a half

[@moenbase1]

what is the point of that first flat ship in the video? Amazing skill by the way.

[@spaRTan3246]

Magnificent 😍

[@deidrajames4258]

Hope this isn’t a dumb question, but how did the yacht get there in the first place, was it built there?

[@Zelielz1]

As someone who lives in The Netherlands, it is surprising to see the scale compared to the houses!

[@speedytoo]

Why wouldn’t the manufacture move production closer to the open sea? It seems they’d have the means to do so. If they did any limitations of vessel size might be removed.

[@ripd97]

I have seen many super yachts, and NONE of them can compare to the beauty and elegance of this magestic masterpiece.

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Suddenly it becomes very clear just how big she is, against the houses an church!❤

[@DomZa100]

looks insane

[@MarkWork-fd5tt]

crazy bridge manuever

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Still not sure why they pushed a 276' yacht through canals? Unnecessary risk and inconvenience to the town.

[@user-vq3qu7wh7n]

Just how I wanted 600 passenger 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@NoctilucentStudios]

Let's see, we've got this huge, beautiful multi-million dollar yacht that we need to maneuver from point A to point B, through a narrow canal and even narrower bridge crossings...I know, let's DO IT BACKWARDS!!!

[@rogueone2346]

May i suggest to move the shipyard near the sea to build biggest boats ?

[@shantaram3880]

They have already one

[@maxaudi2804]

Amazing. Larger than 3-5 homes combined

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

Got my vote.♡♡♡

[@planeandsimple431]

The cost of just moving it a ways down the canal, and past that bridge, is far more than most can comprehend. There's not even fuel or champagne on that thing yet...

[@rasheedsadique4267]

so perfact

[@whotf888]

It really shows that the crew maneuvering this absolutely huge vessel isn't on their 1st rodeo regarding huge yachts.

[@famaccount479]

I am always wondering, why do they produce such gigantic huge yachts so far inland? Isn't more practicable to build a shipyard close to the ocean to avoid such difficould and dangerous struggling inside these small channels?

[@papagen00]

How can I order one?

[@johnnycage5513]

it's like a floating mega mansion with an engine

[@jimjimgl3]

I'd expect the design to be spectacular to match the cost of production of this vessel. And I bet the Dutch watching this from the shore or stopping from their bike rides thought it was ridiculous.

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Where’s this….. in Holland heading to or from De kaag.

[@DutchYachting]

Didn't read the text for sure

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

@@DutchYachting 😂. I’ve read it now 😂………….. seeing the video, reminded me of travelling along small rivers, in Holland, ( in a multi millionaire M.Y. Called Shallimar 2 in 1977.) to a place called De-Kaag, to have repairs to the ship after it caught fire in the Atlantic.

[@budo4]

She is quite elegant

[@Zone_Stomper]

I wouldn't mind having a few boats like that.

[@famaccount479]

A few? Just one of them drains your wallet in maintenance cost and fuel really effective.

[@AemilmhannMagyre]

It is beautiful. 👍👍👍 But for me i like more the design of M/Y Phi.🙂🙂🙂

[@JohnConnorTM]

She does have a beautiful and harmonious exterior, yet we would need to see if the interior and the exterior are a good match and of course that the interior, is as beautiful and harmonious with the whole of the ship. It is a yacht after all and all yachts need to be judged holistically.

[@berrey7]

LIKE A GLOVE!

[@michelebiscardi5040]

What happens if it don’t fit through the bridge

[@famaccount479]

Can you imagine that they know the exact meassurements beforehand?

[@montiro8999]

Do we know the owner

[@reginaldbrich3329]

I'm the Owner ❤

[@anotherelvis]

Great video, but consider having fewer cuts. It is somewhat stressful to watch.

[@wheatgrains432]

Yeahh one of my baby mothers saying move Paul's boat😮.

[@laduralamayimba]

wow nice toy

[@frankgordon8829]

It's like threading a needle! Just as the Naval Architects have to factor in a ships beam to fit through the Panama Canal!

[@raulromangg]

❤

[@markadler8968]

Why does the yacht have to be towed in reverse? Also why would you have a shipyard located at the end of a maze of canals/bridges (Some of which have inches of clearance to spare) that have to be negotiated instead of having it right on the coast or close to it? The yacht is very beautiful but the whole process towing out to the ocean seems ridiculous and unnecessarily complicated.

[@elove312]

She's definitely the Bell of Ball

[@bingbang3318]

Faith is the best looking Feadship

[@keviar245]

lol released on 4/20. They Dutch knew what they were doing.

[@rogergrandify]

i would move the shipyard closer to the open seas

[@MostAlpha]

That's my Yacht.
