The PHILOSOPHY is a 44.2-metre (145.01 ft) motor yacht, constructed by the prestigious Feadship shipyard in 2015, and is now exclusively for sale with Phoenix Yacht Management. This vessel is the epitome of Dutch engineering, combining advanced performance capabilities with exceptional build quality. Designed to deliver a seamless balance between luxury and functionality, PHILOSOPHY is a powerful asset for any owner seeking a high-performance yacht with long-range cruising potential and superior technical features.
Advanced Construction and Design
PHILOSOPHY is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, ensuring durability and strength while minimising weight. The hull design, executed by De Voogt/Feadship, contributes to optimal hydrodynamics, reducing resistance and enhancing fuel efficiency. The yacht’s exterior profile is not only sleek but also carefully engineered to provide maximum stability in diverse sea conditions.
The yacht’s stabilisation system, a key feature in modern superyachts, is designed to minimise roll and improve comfort during cruising. The system ensures that the vessel maintains stability even in rough seas, reducing the need for excessive course corrections and ensuring smooth operations at all speeds.
Power and Performance
At the heart of PHILOSOPHY is a pair of twin Caterpillar diesel engines, each capable of producing 1,200 horsepower. These engines provide the yacht with a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots, making it a versatile option for both leisurely cruising and faster, longer-distance voyages.
One of the standout features of PHILOSOPHY is its impressive range. With a fuel capacity of 41,000 liters, the yacht is capable of covering 3,850 nautical miles at a speed of 10 knots, making it ideal for extended passages without frequent refueling stops. This long-range capability is further enhanced by the yacht’s efficient fuel consumption rate, ensuring operational cost-effectiveness over time.
The yacht’s propulsion system and fuel efficiency make it suitable for a variety of operational needs, from private long-distance cruising to commercial charter operations. Its ability to cover significant distances without the need for constant refueling offers a substantial operational advantage for owners seeking autonomy on the water.
Accommodation and Crew Facilities
PHILOSOPHY provides a spacious interior layout, with four guest staterooms designed for up to eight guests. Each stateroom is equipped with high-end finishes, ample storage space, and a carefully considered layout that maximises privacy and comfort. The crew quarters, capable of accommodating up to eight crew members, are designed to ensure efficient operation while maintaining the highest standards of service. These spaces are separate from the guest areas, allowing for unobtrusive service.
The yacht’s interior is finished to the highest standards, with a focus on functionality as well as aesthetic appeal. The open-plan layout ensures seamless movement between living and dining areas, and large windows offer expansive views of the surrounding environment, contributing to a bright, airy atmosphere throughout the vessel.
Maintenance and Survey Schedule
To ensure its continued high performance, PHILOSOPHY has been subject to comprehensive maintenance. In spring 2024, the yacht underwent a full repaint and a complete servicing of all systems, ensuring that all technical and aesthetic components remain in prime condition. The yacht is also scheduled to undergo a 10-year special survey, which will be completed by the end of April 2025. This survey will include an in-depth inspection of the yacht’s hull, machinery, electrical systems, and safety equipment to ensure that it meets the latest maritime safety and performance standards.
Exclusively available for sale with Phoenix Yacht Management, PHILOSOPHY represents a unique opportunity to acquire a vessel that combines proven engineering with luxury accommodations and operational efficiency. This motor yacht offers a robust technical platform, long-term value retention, and the reliability that only a Feadship-built yacht can provide.
