Feadship's 94m Viva Returns to the Netherlands

Viva, previously known as Project 817, was penned by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture and De Voogt Naval Architects, who is also responsible for her naval architecture.

She is considered to be highly eco-conscious, a sentiment and stategy that lies at the very core of Feadship's values, with the aim to reduce her environmental impact as much as possible. 

Viva's experienced owner is described to have charted ‘virtually every Feadship available’ on the market. Already in possession of a 62m Feadship build, he was determined to retain the same environmental output on his significantly larger yacht. 

"The owner’s ‘less is more’ philosophy has influenced every aspect of the design inside and out, with an abundance of clean lines." says the shipyard.

Viva is defined by her clean lines, glass construction and curved, open beach house inspired interior by Peter Marino Architects which allows for an abundance of natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows on the Upper Deck.

In terms of acommodation, she can host up to 14 guests across the span of seven luxurious cabins, and is also designed to house up to 18 crew members.

With a gross tonnage of 2,999 GT and a beam of 14 metres, this impressive yacht has a top speed of 20 knots; designed and engineered to use as little engine power as possible.

She is equipped with twin MTU engines and an advanced hybrid propulsion system, allowing her to cruise at a comfortable 12 knots on diesel-electric power.

Other standout sustainable features include VIVA’s onboard waste treatment plant and effective heat recovery systems. The Feadship team also made every effort to optimise the yacht’s air-conditioning systems, due to increased heat intake by her expansive windows.
