VIVA

The groundbreaking eco-friendly VIVA, previously known as Project 817,  hit the water for the first time from Feadship’s Kaag facility in February 2021.   

Commissioned by a keen charterer of Feadship yachts, the owner is keen to keep the environmental impact of VIVA at the same as his previous 62 metre Feadship despite being 32 metres longer in length  A key environmental feature is the hybrid propulsion system, which will allow her to travel at 12 knots on diesel-electric power and 20 knots under diesel power. VIVA also features a waste treatment plant and heat recovering systems on board.   Other advanced green technologies deployed include the waste treatment plant and heat recovery systems. An immense amount of work went into optimising the efficiency of the air-conditioning so as to prevent excessive power consumption. This is especially crucial on a yacht with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, something which required taking a different approach to structural design in order to compensate for the complete absence of bulwarks.  

VIVA features exterior design by Azure Yacht Design and Studio De Voogt and an interior by Peter Marino described as “open beach-house style”.  The yacht showcases vast edifices of glass including floor-to-ceiling windows. 

A 14 metre beam allows VIVA to accommodate the largest tender and boast the longest hull doors ever seen on a Feadship.
