Largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands in 2015
Symphony is a 101.5 m long and 14.10 m wide superyacht built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship at its Kaag yard. Launched in 2015, she is the first yacht of the builder to exceed the 100 m mark, but also the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands.
Symphony was born from the joint work of Tim Heywood and De Voogt Naval Architects, while the interior design is by Zuretti. It is owned by businessman Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of the luxury group LVMH.
Its steel displacement hull allows it to navigate in faraway lands with maximum resistance, while its aluminium superstructure houses 6 decks with teak flooring. A stabilizer system reduces roll and improves comfort both at sea and at anchor.
Six decks for fun and relaxation
Its six decks with wide terraces offer all the necessary equipment for relaxation and leisure activities. For example, there is a huge helipad on the foredeck to reach the boat directly by helicopter. The sundeck houses an observation lounge, a bar and a jacuzzi. But the long list of facilities doesn't stop at là?!
The Symphony is a true entertainment platform with an outdoor projection screen, HD cinema on the lower deck, dance floor, beauty salon, golf practice, gym, music room with grand piano and library.
The highlight of the show is undoubtedly its 6 m long counter-current swimming pool with a waterfall and a transparent glass bottom. Another superyacht-like facility, to move around the six decks, the Symphony has a lift.
43 people on board
On board, 16 guests can stay comfortably in 8 cabins: 1 master suite, 1 VIP suite and 6 double cabins all with their own bathroom. One of the decks is entirely dedicated to the owner with double bed, double bathroom, dressing rooms, sauna, office, front terrace with jacuzzi or aft terrace with dining room that can accommodate up to 20 guests around the table. 27 crew members are planned to take care of life on board.
A transatlantic capability
With 4 MTU 16V 4000 M73 engines with a power of 1?909 CH and two thrusters, Symphony reaches a cruising speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots. At a reasonable speed of 14 knots, and thanks to its huge fuel tanks of 256?000 litres, the yacht has a range of 5?500 miles. Its water tanks, allowing it to sail autonomously for many months, are just as huge, with a capacity of 56?000 litres.
