The future of sustainable yachting 

We are now in an era where sustainability is of paramount importance to ensure the longevity of our oceans and through this, we are seeing advancements in both design and technology that we could not have dreamed of 20 years ago. With the likes of alternative fuels and propulsion systems, improved hull designs, renewable energy integration and the use of sustainable materials, the next generation of yachting happen right before our eyes.  

As we head into 2025, a ground-breaking build emerges, Project 821, the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht, due for delivery early this year.  

Jamie Edmiston, CEO: “The brief was to build the greenest and most environmentally advanced yacht ever built, without compromise.” 

Feadship’s bold response was a multi-faceted, zero-diesel approach designed to cruise between harbours or anchorages and to operate the yacht’s hotel load and amenities with emission-free power from green hydrogen.  

“The aim has been to develop a new, clean technology not just for this project, but for the world,” Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship Director / CEO Royal Van Lent Shipyard.  

Jamie comments: “It was a huge challenge, but one that the team has embraced and delivered on. The yacht we see today, designed by RWD and built by Feadship is without doubt the best yacht ever built. I am proud to have been involved since the inception of this idea.”

Health & wellness – transforming your experience

The desire for a greater focus on health and wellness amenities and services continues to grow each year, with massage rooms, plunge pools, steam rooms, saunas, and gyms on many clients’ wish lists. Similarly, beach clubs are continuing to evolve as they serve as a main hub for recreational activity, allowing for the seamless transition between outdoor areas and the water below, while further serving as a launch pad for toys and tenders.

An exceptional example of wellness being integrated into modern yachting design is Feadship’s cutting-edge, 77.75m ONE, due for delivery this year. Onboard, the main lounge is designed as a luxurious beach house, which seamlessly merges with the outdoors. Sliding glass doors on three sides open to the large pool and seating area, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

On the bridge deck, guests can enjoy the wellness centre which offers panoramic views from an aft-facing, glass-walled gym which opens on three sides, giving the option for either climate-controlled or sea breeze workouts. To complete the total wellness experience, this area is further enhanced with a sauna, massage room and jacuzzi.

Refit: Your yacht, reimagined

Love your yacht, but want to give it a new lease of life? A refit might be the ideal solution to take your yachting experience to the next level, whether that’s altering layouts, adding new health and wellness amenities, or giving interiors and exteriors an entirely new look – Edmiston has a long-standing history of working with clients and bringing the right team together with designers, naval architects and shipyards, to turn ideas into realities.

In 2023, Edmiston broker Charles Carveles managed an extensive 12-month refit for ARBEMA, a 72m luxury yacht from CRN. During this time, she was completely reimagined through her technical upgrades, new sub-flooring, new beach club and major interior refit by renowned designer, Rhoades Young.

Charles comments: “Refitting a yacht is a complex and challenging task, but it’s also extremely exciting for the Owners. Planning is always key, which ensure the quotes, and the expectations are managed for the Owners. As with all projects of this size there will be points where tough discussions are needed and people need to work hard to help reach the end goal – these are the times where it’s important you have experience and expertise on your side and exactly why you want Edmiston on your team.”
