All too often new additions to the global luxury motoryacht fleet are described as revolutionary breakthroughs, claims that are justified in terms of size, technology or new heights of splendor. A truly radical shift in thinking is much rarer, however... And the phenomenal new 72.80 meter Feadship Predator might just fit the billing.
During the launch ceremony at the Koninklijke De Vries yard in Aalsmeer (NL) on 5 January 2008, all eyes were on Predator's sensational reverse bow. This bow forms part of the aggressive new styling brief at the core of the client's wish-list.
'The owner arrived at the yard in late 2004 with a request that we partner on something different than anything else afloat," comments Henk de Vries. "Together with De Voogt Naval Architects and Bannenberg Designs (interior), we have created a super-sleek and highly sophisticated yacht that is genuinely innovative."
