Motor Yacht

In 2008, Feadship launched the stylish and understated superyacht Archimedes. This 67.75 metre (222’3”) motor yacht was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and John Munford Designs and features proven high-end technologies that bring her from idyllic luxury yacht to global cruiser.

Rarely seen in the traditional superyacht destinations, her ice-strengthened Corinthian blue hull is often touring the world’s most far-flung locations. The desire to cruise the furthest reaches of the world introduced created a number of exterior areas for al fresco dining with a view.

On the large sundeck, guests can make the most of their time on board with a masterfully crafted marble mosaic Jacuzzi, bar and entertainment area, enclosed gym and lots of dining and social areas as you cruise the globe. The panoramic views are uninterrupted by tenders and toys on deck due to dedicated wells, lifts and large garage.

Her beam of 12 metres provides a large amount of space on board for a relaxed, yet sophisticated interior by John Munford Design. Battling the cavernous space on board, the interior remains welcoming with comfortable furniture and a grand piano in the main lounge. Archimedes is the first Feadship to feature a wood burning fireplace, reflecting the relaxed, stately nature of being on board.

The full-beam master bedroom is divided into various relaxation areas, consisting of large central bed and a lady’s writing desk which was handmade for the owner’s wife. The bathrooms draw inspiration from the titular Greek god and showcases artisan mosaic marble floors in all six ensuite staterooms, hosting space for eight guests on board.

Motor Yacht ARCHIMEDES is a luxury vessel built by the prestigious Feadship shipyard in the Netherlands and launched by the Royal Van Lent yard in 2008. Superyacht ARCHIMEDES measures 67,75 metres (222'3'') and represents a yacht of contemporary features with a fine balance between function and form. She has received a comprehensive refit at the Feadship shipyard in 2018.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~ great spaces on board ~ number of dining possibilities including alfresco and formal dining ~ spacious staterooms ~ main deck master suite ~ main deck VIP ~ fabulous sun deck ~ Jacuzzi ~ selection of water toys

Mega yacht ARCHIMEDES is a modern Feadship vessel constructed with high-end technologies in order to create the ultimate global cruiser. Both her interiors and the exterior reflect the owner's passion for antiquity, creating a true classic motor yacht. The interior style is more traditional, featuring 1920s' elements, providing a lighter feel. Honey colour hue is dominating the interior with plenty of stained cherrywood panelling, providing a sumptuous backdrop to the owner's greek-themed art pieces.

Owners and guests can indulge in complete privacy thanks to the yacht's layout where the crew can discretely serve their every need. There is a fabulous elevator servicing all four social decks, including the sun deck observation area.

Luxury motor yacht ARCHIMEDES boasts a relatively conventional layout with large socialising areas, yet homely atmosphere. The main lounge features a range of comfortable settees as well as a grand rosewood piano hinting at the timeless pleasures of enjoying each other's company.

ARCHIMEDES' beautiful dining room seats between eight and twenty guests around the gorgeous table, made of the finest cherrywood and complemented by matching ebony and satinwood chairs.

One of the unique features of ARCHIMEDES is the fully functioning wood-burning fireplace; the first one ever to have been installed aboard a Feadship superyacht. The fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere in the Owner's study.

Another comfortable and inviting area is the bridge deck with the beautiful sky lounge. There are an elegant bar and various seating arrangements for the owner and guests to enjoy.

The elegant master bedroom spreads over the entire beam of the yacht and is divided into various relaxation areas. The large central bed is flanked by a lounge to the starboard, and to the port, there are table and chairs. This area also features a lady's writing desk, custom hand-made for the owner's wife. The entire room protrudes a pleasant and homely atmosphere thanks to the use of subtle upholstery and fine fabrics.

The mosaic marble floors in the main bathrooms have been inspired by Greek mythology. There are two splendid 'his' and 'her' bathrooms in the top master suite, where Poseidon and his wife Amphitrite adorn the floors. The Estremoz marble features on the tops, walls and window sills complete the luxurious feel of these two private places.

Situated aft of the Owner's suite on the main deck is the VIP stateroom. Here, the bathrooms have been decorated with beautiful handcrafted mosaic seahorses on the floor. The VIP stateroom also features a warm and inviting study for her guests to relax in.

The lower deck features six staterooms, al with individual unique colour and fabric themes, combined with the overall cherrywood template. Varying bathroom floors feature Greek galleys, the seahorses Hippocampus, dolphins and octopuses.

ARCHIMEDES yacht is equipped with a range of yacht tenders and various water toys, which are stowed in their own wells or garage when needed.

Sundeck is a fabulous area to unwind with such a beautiful centrepiece as the spectacular marble mosaic Jacuzzi. Next to the Jacuzzi is a fantastic outdoor entertainment area with a bar and lots of casual dining options. Further forward is an enclosed gymnasium offering spectacular views to enjoy while working out.

ARCHIMEDES Specifications

Perhaps the most popular social area on Archimedes is the bridge deck. It provides a sheltered area for entertainment and relaxation thanks to windbreak doors and sliding glass panels. Here we have another possibility for formal dining for up to twenty people.
