Feadship’s Milky Way: a custom superyacht of flowing form
The Dutch shipyard's latest creation marries an unconventional extended bow with interior spaces designed for both movement and stillness. Studio De Voogt and RWD have crafted a vessel where architecture serves the rhythms of life at sea.

Milky Way, Feadship’s latest superyacht, emerges from an uncommon design philosophy: that a vessel’s form should respond to how people actually inhabit it. An unusually elongated bow shifts the yacht’s volume toward the stern, a move that creates the room for living while establishing the horizontal lines that define her profile from every angle. The Mediterranean light catches her white hull with particular clarity, each deck edge a clean argument for proportion and purpose.
The exterior, developed by Studio De Voogt in close collaboration with the owner, reads as the natural expression of a brief rather than an aesthetic imposed from outside. That conversation between builder and client extends through the interior, where London studio RWD has orchestrated spaces that move between activity and calm. Soft forms flow through cabins and social areas, the materials and curves chosen to ease the transition from the energy of cruising to the deeper stillness of anchoring.
Feadship has long understood that custom superyachts begin with a question: what does this particular owner need to do and feel aboard? Milky Way answers that question through every decision, from the bow’s radical extension to the careful modulation of light and surface within. The collaboration between owner, exterior architect and interior designer yields a vessel that feels less like a collection of systems and more like a considered argument about what it means to live well at sea.
