Feadship 55m motor yacht ILLUSION I sold after 358 days with Charles Carveles of Edmiston representing the seller and Paul Madden of Xplorer Yachts introducing the buyer.
She was built in steel and aluminium in 1983 by Feadship at the Dutch yard Van Lent to Lloyd's class, after a design by De Voogt Naval Architects. In 2010 she received a major refit at Pendennis. They added a five metre extension to accommodate a new beach club and garage. Her decks were renewed and she received a fresh interior. Her most recent refit was in 2021.
Twin 1.125hp Caterpillar diesel engines give her a range of 3.500 nautical miles at 12 knots.
Her warm interior by Bannenberg & Rowell can accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, consisting of a master and VIP suite on the main deck with two doubles and two twins below. They all have their own entertainment centres, television screens and en-suite bathroom facilities. For the crew, there are quarters for up to 14 crew members in one double and six en-suite twin cabins.
The expansive main saloon offers separate seating areas for small groups or large social events, including a bar, entertainment centre and a 42-inch plasma television screen. The dining area has seating for up to 12 guests.
Her outdoor area features a table seating for up to 12 guests and a full bar, ensuring that al fresco cocktails and dining go with a swing. Up the stairs is the sundeck featuring sun pads, a bar, barbecue grill, and a jacuzzi.
ILLUSION I was asking €9.750.000.
