Superyacht Guide Awards are editorial ratings based on available information and review criteria.
Madame Gu is a 99-metre custom motor yacht built by Feadship and delivered in 2013. Constructed at Feadship’s Makkum yard, she is one of the most refined large Feadships of her era and is recognised for her clean styling, high performance and complete Winch Design exterior and interior package.
The yacht was designed by Winch Design, which was responsible for both the exterior and interior. Madame Gu has a long, elegant white profile, a balanced superstructure and a formal contemporary appearance. Her styling is restrained rather than theatrical, reflecting Feadship’s reputation for precision, proportion and understated custom yacht construction.
Madame Gu is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and has a gross tonnage of approximately 2,991 GT. Her beam of around 15.18 metres gives her generous interior volume while maintaining a sleek exterior profile. Unlike many yachts of similar size, she is also notably fast, with a reported top speed of approximately 24 knots.
The yacht is reported to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms, supported by a crew of around 36. Publicly reported guest amenities include a beach club, elevator, spa-style spaces, tender storage and extensive deck areas. Her large aft decks and formal guest spaces make her suitable for private cruising and high-level entertaining.
Madame Gu has received several industry awards and remains a significant example of Feadship’s ability to deliver large, technically advanced and highly finished private yachts. Her combination of Winch Design styling, Dutch build quality and unusually strong performance makes her one of the standout Feadships of the 2010s.
