CATCH - FeadShip FOR SALE

CATCH, a 26.60-meter luxury yachtfisher—one of the rare Feadship builds with classic Dutch superyacht pedigree—returned to the water in May 2023 following a winter refit in Amsterdam. Launched in 1984 as Gallant Lady, she later cruised as Patriot before assuming the name CATCH. The 2023 transformation delivered a complete repaint, fresh teak laid on the foredeck, refinished exterior brightwork, renewed main-deck veneer, and upgraded LED illumination, while a newly added sun awning elevates the alfresco lounging experience. Further enhancements introduced an additional stateroom, creating a four-cabin layout that welcomes up to eight guests aboard this timeless motor yacht.

Overview

CATCH, a remarkable 87’ (26.60m) Yachtfish, stands out not only for her size and craftsmanship but also as one of the few yachts constructed by the prestigious Feadship. After an extensive winter refit at Feadship in Amsterdam, she was proudly relaunched in May 2023, marking a new chapter in her storied history. Originally delivered as Gallant Lady in 1984, she later took on the name Patriot before ultimately being rebranded as CATCH.

Her most recent refit ushered in a comprehensive transformation, with new exterior paint throughout that revitalizes her presence and turns heads on the water. The foredeck was laid with new teak for both aesthetic appeal and functional luxury, while the exterior wood features were meticulously revarnished to showcase their natural beauty. The main deck veneer was updated for a modern look, upgraded LED lighting was installed throughout to create a warm and inviting ambiance, and a stylish sun awning was added to provide welcome shade for those relaxing on deck. Complementing these enhancements, the interior presents fresh décor that elevates the onboard atmosphere.

Equipped with hydraulic outriggers and delivering a 21-knot cruise, CATCH balances elegance with capability, while four staterooms ensure generous accommodations for guests. Presented in perfect condition and fully ready to cruise, she now offers heightened performance and comfort for both guests and crew.

Cockpit

Board from port or starboard via the custom boarding system into a cockpit where the craftsmanship immediately captivates. Natural teak cap rails and teak decks, paired with a varnished teak transom and varnished teak bulkheads, set an elegant tone that is at once clean and practical, purpose-built for both serious fishing and effortless entertaining.

Thoughtfully equipped and beautifully executed, the cockpit features two custom hydraulic outriggers, teak decks underfoot, a large lazarette, and abundant storage to port and starboard. Shore power connections are conveniently positioned, while two seven-inch Garmin display repeaters for speed and depth are perfectly visible from both the custom Murray Brothers fighting chair and the mezzanine seating. For dining and relaxation, a Murray cockpit table is complemented by six dining chairs with covers, and removable sunshades provide adaptable shelter. Live bait management is exceptional with a dedicated baitwell plus two large custom-built bait wells fitted with custom lights and Lexan viewing panels, and two large fish boxes are on hand for the catch, supported by a large crushed-ice machine in the starboard fish well. Practicality continues with a dedicated engine room entrance and an under-stairs storage locker tailored for cleaning supplies and equipment.

Mezzanine deck seating

A raised, covered observation deck invites front-row viewing of the action when battling a tournament winner and sets the stage for effortless aft-deck entertaining. The teak deck frames a matching teak bench with integrated storage, and the four-person seat faces aft beneath the overhang where two seven-inch Garmin display repeaters are mounted overhead, delivering real-time wind, speed, and depth data to guests. To port, a wet bar integrates a cold box for refrigeration and a hot-and-cold stainless-steel sink beneath a varnished teak top with additional storage below, while stainless-steel handrails provide secure passage. Technology extends to two aft-facing cameras that feed the bridge’s Garmin displays, and a standalone Crestron iPad stationed here elevates outside entertainment. Thoughtful details continue with dedicated stowage beneath the seating for the sunshade’s stainless-steel poles and the boarding ladder.

Main salon

As you enter from the mezzanine seating on the starboard quarter, you are immediately greeted by 360 degrees of windows that flood the space with natural light and sweeping vistas; at the touch of a button, custom electric blinds descend in near silence to gently obscure the outside world. A harmonious blend of classic teak wood joinery and rich fabrics sets a tone of timeless luxury and comfort, and all loose furnishings have been replaced throughout the vessel. Teak cabinets span the salon, providing generous lockers and drawers, while custom overheads integrate LED lighting, speakers, and A/C vents above plush carpet and tailored curtains. Technology is seamlessly woven in, with Creston-controlled entertainment and the electric blinds at your command, complemented by a central vacuum system for effortless upkeep. Comfort is assured with two large settees offering integrated storage and a swivel chair gathered around a large ottoman that doubles as additional storage. An under-counter clear-ice maker stands ready to refresh, and a hidden 48” Samsung HD flat-screen TV drops down from the ceiling on the starboard side for cinematic viewing on demand.

Galley

Upon entering the salon, the galley virtually disappears, artfully concealed within low-profile satin teak cabinetry to port and forward beneath the windshield. This discreet design preserves an open, integrated living area while enhancing the vessel’s functionality and flow. Yet behind this elegant disguise lies a thoroughly updated, modern workspace with new appliances.

Custom cabinet and drawer storage is cleverly installed under the counter, and all equipment is designed to hide away when not in use. Teak cabinets run throughout, joined by lockers and drawers and complemented by teak soles, all arranged around a countersunk, honeycomb-backed granite top. The atmosphere is refined by custom overheads, LED lighting, speakers, a/c vents, carpet, and curtains, while Creston-controlled entertainment and electric blinds manage ambiance and privacy across all windows. Culinary preparation is effortless with a large Corian sink, a Fisher Paykel induction top with Gaggenau downdraft vent stovetop, and a pop-up Jenn Air convection microwave, supported by a Fisher Paykel dishwasher. Provisions are neatly organized in Sub Zero drawer refrigerators and Sub Zero drawer freezers, and refreshments are always on hand thanks to a clear icemaker in the salon.

This cabin also offers direct access to its private en‑suite head.

The space is richly appointed with teak cabinetry throughout, with lockers, drawers, and soles completing the fit-out.

Starboard guest stateroom

Opposite the VIP cabin to starboard, this versatile guest stateroom also serves perfectly as a crew cabin, appointed with upper and lower bunks that comfortably sleep two guests. Across a small vestibule lies a separate head that doubles as the day head for the salon, conveniently positioned at the bottom of the salon stairs; it features a Corian stall shower, while the vestibule conceals a full-size Whirlpool washer and dryer behind elegant doors.

Warm teak craftsmanship defines the space, with teak cabinets throughout complemented by lockers, drawers, and teak soles.

Meticulous planning informed the interior’s redesign and layout to maximize space for the current owner and their guests. To starboard, the crew cabin features upper and lower berths in an over-under arrangement, complemented by a closet and ample storage to ensure practical comfort and effortless organization.

Enclosed pilothouse

Completely redesigned in a major refit, the oversized enclosed bridge showcases an extremely elaborate glass-bridge electronics package housed within custom teak drop-down boxes. Command is centered on a single STIDD helm chair with a custom swing-away box for the Garmin grid control and the autopilot attached to the arm, complemented by two L-shaped seats to port and starboard and a large teak settee forward of the helm, together providing comfortable seating for more than eight guests to revel in sweeping 360-degree views while underway.

Teak cabinets run throughout, offering generous storage in lockers and drawers, while custom overheads integrate LED lighting, speakers, air-conditioning vents, carpet, and curtains to create a refined atmosphere. Forward of the helm, teak bench seating enhances the social flow, and aft a custom-built teak bulkhead features teak double French doors that open to the outdoor seating area, with the wheelhouse further appointed by teak corner benches and tables. To port, a teak under-counter installation includes a stainless-steel sink with hot and cold water, paired with an under-counter drinks fridge, and daily upkeep is eased by a central vacuum system.

Ergonomically designed for effortless operation and graced with the distinctive style that only a Feadship can provide, the instruments are arranged with clear, intuitive logic in an optimized layout that maximizes comfort and confidence while underway.

Pilothouse outdoor seating

Aft of the enclosed pilothouse, beyond centerline double teak French doors, the upper outdoor seating area invites relaxation with two comfortable teak love seats to port and starboard, complemented by a teak bench offering plenty of storage beneath. The teak deck sets a warm, refined tone, while stainless steel handrails provide confident security underway. Discreetly integrated to port and starboard, hidden wing stations with full controls enable easy docking, precise maneuvering in tight situations, and accurate positioning when a fish is on the line. Overhead, teaser reel controls are within effortless reach, and the space is enhanced by a camera, speakers, and LED lights to elevate both safety and ambiance. A hidden retractable ladder grants convenient access to the mast, preserving the clean lines of this elegant deck.

Deck equipment

CATCH presents a beautiful wide-open foredeck that has been completely re-teaked, with easy access to the bow from both port and starboard sides. A Maxwell vertical windlass is concealed beneath a dedicated hatch, serving a custom-built, flush-mounted port-side anchor well in the hull and a large chain locker with generous storage for dock lines and fenders. The ground tackle is formidable, led by a 350 lb stainless steel Poole type anchor on 500 ft of 13 mm G4 HT anchor chain, complemented by a Fortress FX-125 secondary anchor with 300 ft of rode. The foredeck remains impeccably clean and functional thanks to its flush layout, including the windlass hatch, along with flush-mounted screws and mounts for dinghy storage on the foredeck.

Engine room and mechanical equipment

Accessed centerline from the cockpit, the engine room is finished to the same impeccable standard as the rest of the yacht, highlighted by high‑polish diamond‑plate flooring and complemented by a spare set of powder‑coated plates ready for use during maintenance. The space has been meticulously planned with generous clearance for routine service, and most systems have been rebuilt or upgraded with particular attention to enhanced soundproofing and vibration dampening for remarkable noise reduction underway and at anchor.
