The 76.5-metre Feadship BOARDWALK V has entered the brokerage market with an asking price of €149 million. Delivered in 2021 and offering 1,848 GT of internal volume, the seven-cabin yacht combines transoceanic capability with a helipad, large pool and extensive wellness facilities.
One of the largest recent-generation Feadships available on the brokerage market has been offered for sale, with Burgess announcing the 76.5-metre BOARDWALK V at an asking price of €149 million. Delivered in 2021, the yacht combines the scale of a 1,848 GT custom build with a relatively young age, putting her into a particularly narrow part of the market where large Northern European yachts can command nine-figure asking prices while still offering a buyer something close to contemporary new-build standards.
Burgess announced the listing on 6 August and says BOARDWALK V is currently lying in Italy and available for inspection. Feadship has also added the yacht to its own resale portfolio at the same €149 million price, giving the sale unusually direct support from both the central brokerage house and the original builder's resale operation. The listing comes five years after her delivery and after what Burgess describes as private ownership and meticulous maintenance since launch.
The yacht was built as Feadship hull 707 and originally launched as Boardwalk. Her naval architecture and exterior design were developed by Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects and Studio De Voogt, while Amy Halffman Design was responsible for the interior. Feadship says the exterior and general arrangement were developed with extensive involvement from the original owner's team, including multiple design iterations intended to balance the yacht's considerable beam and internal volume with a comparatively long, lean profile.
The physical specifications published by Feadship and the current sales information published by Burgess provide a detailed picture of a yacht intended for long-range private operation rather than simply coastal cruising. Feadship's original build record gives a beam of 12.58 metres and draught of 3.60 metres; Burgess's current sales particulars round the beam differently at 12.3 metres. For consistency, the principal dimensions below use Feadship's builder specifications, while current market, accommodation and performance data are taken from the sales listing.

Feadship's build data gives a 5,000-nautical-mile range at 12 knots from twin MTU 16V4000 M63L engines, while Burgess quotes a 15-knot cruising speed and 18.4-knot maximum speed. The yacht uses conventional twin-screw diesel propulsion, and her combination of range, tankage and volume places her firmly in the category of large yachts capable of extended transoceanic operation rather than being designed primarily around Mediterranean marina use.
BOARDWALK V's significance is not simply her length. At 1,848 GT she carries substantial internal volume, yet the accommodation plan is limited to 14 guests in seven cabins rather than using that volume to maximise guest numbers. Burgess describes a full-beam owner's apartment on the main deck with separate bathrooms and dressing areas, a private lounge and fixed balconies to port and starboard. Two VIP suites are positioned on the bridge deck, with four additional guest cabins on the lower deck.
That distribution says something about how the yacht was conceived. Instead of concentrating accommodation around a conventional charter-style cabin count, considerable space has been devoted to the owner, circulation and recreational areas. An elevator links the guest decks, while the interior uses unusually high ceilings and broad windows to bring natural light into spaces that could otherwise feel enclosed on a yacht of this volume. Burgess describes the Amy Halffman interior as using tactile finishes, neutral tones and restrained colour rather than a highly ornamental decorative scheme.
The exterior arrangement is similarly ambitious. The sun deck carries an oversized swimming pool and jacuzzi, while the aft end incorporates a helipad. At water level, the beach club contains a gym, treatment room, sauna and dedicated dive centre. Feadship's original build description adds another practical detail: a forward main-deck garage was designed to accommodate two 8.5-metre tenders, keeping substantial support craft away from the primary guest areas.
These features also help explain the yacht's scale. On a 76.5-metre vessel, a helipad, large pool, wellness centre, dive operation, dual large tenders, seven guest suites and 22-person crew complement all compete for volume. BOARDWALK V's 12.58-metre beam gave the design team the platform to accommodate those functions without turning the exterior profile into something visually heavy. Feadship says Computational Fluid Dynamics was used through several hull-shape iterations during development, reflecting the amount of engineering work involved in reconciling the yacht's volume with performance and efficiency requirements.
The €149 million figure places BOARDWALK V among the most valuable yachts currently being openly marketed by major international brokerages. It is important, however, to distinguish an asking price from an achieved sale price. The number represents the seller's current market position; it does not establish what the yacht will ultimately transact for.
Even so, the asking level provides a useful indication of where recent large Feadships are being positioned. Burgess currently also markets the 71.5-metre 2021 Feadship Vanish at €148 million, while the 77.8-metre Amels Energy is offered at €185 million. Those listings are not directly interchangeable—specification, provenance, condition, tax status, cruising history and seller motivation all influence an individual yacht's value—but they show the unusually elevated price bracket occupied by modern yachts in the 70-to-80-metre range.
BOARDWALK V also differs from an older yacht offered after one or more major refits. She is a 2021 custom Feadship entering the market only five years after delivery, and Burgess presents her as having remained privately operated and carefully maintained. For a prospective buyer considering a new yacht in this size range, that relatively recent build date becomes important because the alternative is not merely another brokerage purchase; it may be entering a multi-year custom-build programme with all the design decisions, construction risk and waiting time that entails.
The yacht's presence on Feadship's own resale platform is also noteworthy. The Dutch builder describes its resale operation as a curated selection of existing Feadships, and BOARDWALK V now appears there alongside other yachts from the builder's fleet. For a buyer specifically seeking Feadship pedigree, the combination of builder-backed resale visibility and an established international brokerage campaign gives BOARDWALK V considerable market exposure from the outset.
The listing arrives at an interesting point for the upper end of the brokerage market. Large yachts can attract spectacular published asking prices, but the pool of buyers capable of acquiring, crewing and operating a yacht approaching 2,000 GT remains extremely small. A €149 million acquisition is only the beginning of the financial commitment: insurance, crew, technical management, fuel, berthing, maintenance and future refit requirements continue long after completion of the sale.
For BOARDWALK V, however, that scale is also part of the proposition. A prospective buyer is not acquiring a yacht that must subsequently be transformed into a long-range flagship. The helipad, substantial tender capacity, wellness spaces, dive facilities, transoceanic range and seven-cabin accommodation are already integrated into a yacht designed from the outset around experienced private ownership. Burgess's current sales campaign therefore centres less on an opportunity to rebuild or reposition the yacht and more on obtaining an established Feadship with the principal infrastructure of a modern flagship already in place.
The ultimate test will be whether the market agrees with the €149 million valuation. At this level, individual transactions can be highly negotiated and the final price may never become public. What is visible today is that a relatively young 76.5-metre Feadship with 1,848 GT of volume has become available at a time when comparable modern large yachts remain scarce and asking prices at the top of the brokerage market continue to sit comfortably above €100 million.
BOARDWALK V therefore enters the market as more than another large yacht for sale. She offers a useful benchmark for what sellers believe a five-year-old custom Feadship of this scale can command—and, if a transaction eventually becomes public, the result will provide an equally valuable measure of what buyers are actually prepared to pay.
