Feadship’s newly launched 59.5-metre Project 713 represents another step towards the Dutch yard’s goal of being climate-neutral by 2030.

The superyacht follows recent Feadship launches, including Obsidian and Project 821, to embrace new-gen solutions to reduce the vessel’s environmental impact. In the case of Project 713, the superyacht is the first Feadship to carry solar cells for auxiliary power generation.

Like all Feadship yachts, Project 713 has diesel-electric propulsion and can run on non-fossil HVO. The hull form is optimised for cruising speed instead of top speed, and the solar panels are designed for maximum performance thanks to efficient silicon cells. These solar panels are custom-made in the Netherlands and produce up to 24 MWh annually, significantly contributing to the yacht’s energy efficiency.

Project 713, launched at Feadship’s Van Lent facilities, is fitted with a high-efficiency diesel-electric power system. Four generators and a 400-kWh battery supply energy for propulsion and the hotel load.

The yacht is also the first new-build Feadship to feature FSC-certified plantation teak for all the decking. The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) promotes responsible forestry management.

Project 713 has undergone a Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI) assessment report.

This sustainability label, which looks at a yacht’s complete life cycle, concludes that Project 713 belongs to the best in the fleet at 35 percent below average impact.

The yard says the various efficiency-enhancing features more than compensate for the losses incurred by the onboard electrical conversions. Feadship says the owner has been instrumental in the design and environmental impact reduction.

Project 713 has an exterior profile designed by Studio De Voogt, a distinctive blue-grey hull, and a white superstructure. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design created the contemporary interiors.
