CONSTANCE - FeadShip FOR SALE

CONSTANCE is a 46.4m (152.1 ft) classic tri-deck luxury motor yacht with distinguished Dutch lineage. Launched by Feadship in 1986 with a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure, she stands as a quintessential example of enduring craftsmanship and elegant design, the very definition of a classic Feadship superyacht.

Her exterior lines by De Voogt Naval Architects exude poise and proportion, while Glade Johnson Design curated an interior that feels both refined and inviting. With traditional teak decks and a generous 418 GT of volume, CONSTANCE delivers a well-resolved layout across three decks, balancing indoor sophistication with expansive open-air spaces—an impeccable tri-deck displacement yacht for bluewater cruising.

A transformative 18-month refit at Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, completed in summer 2016, elevated her technically and aesthetically. The programme encompassed a full technical and structural renewal, replacing the entire engine room and bridge systems and fitting new engines, gearboxes, generators, and stabilisers. Her boat deck was strengthened to support tender crane operations, while a collision bulkhead was installed forward of an all-new crew lounge to enable unrestricted cruising in line with the latest MCA Large Yacht Code. Inside, the original joinery was sensitively conserved as guest and crew areas were updated to modern standards. Externally, a complete repaint, new teak decking, and upgraded deck equipment revitalised this iconic Feadship motor yacht with fresh lustre.

Further significant works followed in 2021, concentrating on exterior restoration and comprehensive mechanical servicing. She benefited from another full repaint, targeted corrosion treatment, and underwater hull blasting with fresh antifouling, alongside structural repairs to both steel and aluminium where required. Key systems—shafts, stabilisers, bow thruster, windlass, cranes, and passerelle—were thoroughly serviced, complemented by additional interior improvements and technical refinements, ensuring this luxury superyacht remains turnkey and meticulously maintained.

Propelled by twin Caterpillar Acert C32 diesels at 900 hp each, CONSTANCE cruises comfortably at 12 knots and reaches 14 knots, with a transoceanic range of 3,800 nautical miles at 10 knots. Her stabilisation system enhances comfort underway, delivering smooth, composed passages that underscore her pedigree as a capable, ocean-going private yacht designed for long-range, displacement-style voyaging.

Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in five well-appointed cabins, offering a sense of privacy and serenity throughout. Built to Lloyd’s Register classification and fully MCA compliant, CONSTANCE exemplifies seakeeping, build quality, and timeless allure. As a Dutch-built tri-deck motor yacht—equally at home as a family yacht, gentleman’s yacht, or bluewater superyacht—she blends heritage and modernity with effortless grace, offering an elegant platform for refined cruising without compromise.
