Feadship have launched their fifth F45, at the Royal Van Lent shipyard at Kaarg Island
Bearing the name Helix, the twin screw motor yacht, with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, is the first of these semi custom yachts to take up Nautical interior theme. This features a modern mix of light fabric covered walls in mahogany wooden frames and a offers high contrast with carefully selected materials for the soft furnishings
Designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and Sinot Yacht Design, Helix is one of the F45 semi custom series.
She offers an unusual lay-out concept for a 45-metre yacht, in that the guest cabins and the master cabin are all located on the main deck. This provides beautiful views from every cabin
Like her sisters she is an exceptionally sophisticated superyacht in terms of her layout, finish and technologies.
After completing her sea trials, Helix will cruise to the Mediterranean and will make her first public appearance at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show, which runs from September 21 to 24.
