Superyacht Viva is a Palace on Water

355

  • “Viva” is a 94-meter-long luxury yacht built by Feadship at their shipyard in Kaag, Netherlands.
  • It is one of the most expensive superyachts in the world.
  • With its aesthetic interior and exterior design it has become a center of attraction.

It has only been a few months since Frank Fertitta, who also owns the UFC, received delivery of the magnificent yacht “Viva” in June. Viva was recently completed and delivered in the Netherlands. She was designed by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture in collaboration with De Voogt Naval Architects, while Peter Marino designed her interiors.

A Wonder in its own Right

The ultra-luxurious superyacht Viva, which was built by Feadship and has a jaw-dropping price tag of $250 million, is an example of a luxury acquisition. The eldest Fertitta sibling stated that he made this transaction for himself. It should be noted that Feadship appears to be the Fertitta family’s preferred shipbuilder. Lorenzo Fertitta is the owner of the 285-foot-long (87-meter-long), Feadship built Lonian, which costs $160 million. Tilman Fertitta, the cousin of the Fertitta brothers, is the happy owner of a more modest Westport Yachts-built vessel in Boardwalk.

Beauty, Voila!

Peter Marino designed the interior, and Azure Yacht Design designed the exterior. At the stern of the upper deck are a gym, a beach club, a theater, a beauty salon, underwater lighting, an elevator, and a helipad. In addition, the ship has a cinema and a beauty salon. It has two diesel electric MTU engines, each with 16 cylinders, 3,916 horsepower, and 2,050 revolutions per minute producing a top speed of 20 knots. Its freshwater tanks have a capacity of around 71,000 liters, while its fuel tanks can hold approximately 280,000 liters of gasoline. 

In addition to adopting hybrid propulsion, the owner requested that the exterior and interior design of the superyacht adhere to a minimalist aesthetic because they belong to the “less is more” philosophical school. The interior design of the superyacht  is reminiscent of a beach cottage. In order to reduce fuel consumption, the hull has been made more aerodynamic. On board the superyacht Viva, there is space for a maximum of 14 passengers. 

Work of a true Craftsmen

The Viva is the seventh-largest yacht manufactured by Feadship. In April 2021, Viva departed the Dutch shipyard and steered with extreme caution through the Dutch canals, coming dangerously close to colliding with canal-side structures. Each vessel in the Feadship fleet sets a new standard for craftsmanship, design, engineering, and construction. This is because each new Feadship indicates an improvement over their prior efforts. Every new Feadship is an accomplishment in and of itself, as its builders constantly strive to redefine what defines perfection. The Viva superyacht is, without a doubt, the finest of its kind.
