Feadship’s 89.6m Project 828 Is Now Listed as Milky Way

An anonymous project number can conceal the continuity between a shipyard launch and the yacht that later appears in the builder’s fleet. Feadship’s current record identifies the 89.6-metre hull 828 as Milky Way, connecting the detailed 6 June announcement with a named yacht. This is a reconciliation of an existing 2026 launch, not a claim of a new launch or owner delivery on 28 September.

From the launch brief to a named yacht

Feadship’s June project report described a private client who wanted room for both active living and quieter relaxation. The design team used an unusually long bow to shape exterior-deck allocation, while the principal enclosed volumes moved aft.

The builder’s fleet page now names Milky Way and preserves that explanation of her distinctive profile. The named listing makes the project easier to track without suggesting that a publication-date change establishes a handover.

A collaboration visible in the profile

Studio De Voogt developed the exterior with the owner, placing emphasis on long horizontal lines and a strong vertical bow. RWD shaped the interior with softer, flowing forms that connect the owner and guest areas.

Those details explain why the yacht is visually different from a simply scaled-up existing model. Feadship describes the project as full custom, so a production-series comparison would misrepresent its design process.

The technical record

The builder lists an 89.60-metre overall length, 13.49-metre beam and 3.70-metre draught. Its published propulsion is two MTU 12V4000M65 main engines, supported by three Scania generating sets.

A fuel capacity of 208,000 litres and a published cruising range of 5,500 nautical miles at 12 knots complete the specification. Range remains a stated figure under particular operating assumptions, not a prediction of every owner's passage.

What the record does and does not establish

Feadship’s spring announcement was a launch report, and its current fleet listing is a specification and identity record. Neither should be rewritten as a fresh sea-trial completion or owner handover dated today without a separate shipyard statement.

For readers following hull 828, the useful development is the connection between the project designation, the named yacht and the available official specifications. SYG will retain those distinctions as subsequent milestones are independently confirmed.
