Measuring 60.55m, this Feadship luxury motor yacht, launched by Royal Van Lent in 1979, welcomes 16 guests in eight staterooms, with 20 crew. Driven by twin MTU diesel powerplants, she cruises comfortably at 15 knots, sprints to 19 knots, and offers an approximate 4,451-nautical-mile range at economical speed.

Overview

STELLA FIERA II (ex SANOO) is a 60m classic Feadship built in 1979, freshly emerged from “Phase 1” of her refit—the comprehensive technical program that commissioned and relaunched her after a protracted period ashore. She is now afloat with all systems serviced, checked, and fully operable, right down to the installation of Starlink. “Phase 1” was overseen by a highly reputable superyacht surveyor with a solid reputation in large new builds and rebuilds, and discussions are advanced with class for her reinstatement.

The stage is now set for the next phase under new ownership, inviting someone with the vision to sympathetically restore this truly historic superyacht. This is the moment to add personalisation, make your own mark, and create something not necessarily unique but unmistakably special.

Importantly, STELLA FIERA II has not been extended like many of her contemporaries; she launched at 60m and has an 847GT. She offers 8/9 staterooms and can carry up to 20 crew. Her interior is exceptionally generous, complemented by expansive exterior deck spaces.

A rare find in this sector, she awaits a true connoisseur—an admirer who appreciates what a classic Feadship delivers.
