Anna’s oyster-white hull features hand-sculpted organic shapes, metallic silver/jet black elements and huge slabs of glass, topped off by a giant funnel and mast. The mast is an ingenious architectural feature in its own right, designed in a highly functional manner that offers the best possible internet coverage and transmission. The foredeck doubles as a second fully equipped helicopter pad which can be swiftly transformed into a football pitch through the clever use of artificial grass and netting. The large aft deck serves as the main helicopter platform while also making Anna the first superyacht capable of landing a tilt-rotor aircraft.

110m superyacht ANNA: the largest ever Feadship yacht delivered

• Share this on Facebook

By Rebecca Bradbury   9 October 2018

The 110m/361ft superyacht ANNA , the largest superyacht ever built by renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship , is now believed to have been delivered to her owner.

Although there has been no official announcement from Feadship, ANNA has been captured on video (see below) leaving the Netherlands on her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean .

Her delivery marks her official entrance into the Top 100 Largest Superyachts. She ranks as the joint 33 rd largest superyacht in the world, sharing the spot with Lurssen’s 110m/361ft superyacht RADIANT.

At 4,693GT, she is also the largest yacht in terms of gross tonnage to have ever been built in the Netherlands. However, she has to settle for second place when it comes to being the longest yacht ever built in the Netherlands as the 110m/361ft superyacht JUBILEE from Oceanco is 10cm longer.   

As a highly secretive new build, few details are known about the superyacht. But it has been confirmed that both the exterior and interior styling was headed up by British stylist Michel Leach while De Voogt Naval Architects was behind the naval architecture.

As images in this article reveal, her profile is distinguished by dramatic superstructure lines which resemble a giant eye amidships. Plus, the upper deck aft appears to be floating, and there is a helipad on the sundeck aft.

Michael Leach previously worked on another yacht in the Top 100 Largest Superyachts – the multi-award winning 95m/312ft superyacht PALLADIUM by Blohm + Voss. The exterior of the two yachts share some similarities, such as the distinctive eye shape and the lines of the elongated bow.

The designer has also worked with Feadship on the 67m/220ft charter yacht ‘Anna I’ which was built in 2007 and picked up a prestigious World Superyacht Award the following year.

Other features of ANNA's exterior include a large foredeck which can serve as a touch-and-go helipad. As shown in the Instagram gallery above, the area can also be surrounded by tall netting suggesting the space can be used for some sort of ball game, such as basketball.

No further information on the interior has been released but with her dimensions, a huge variety of spacious areas designed for entertaining, relaxing and dining can be expected. 

Superyacht ANNA has replaced the 102m/333ft luxury yacht SYMPHONY as the largest ever yacht built by Feadship, and her arrival into the Top 100 Largest Superyachts has knocked another build from the yard – the 84m/274ft charter yacht SAVANNAH – out of the rankings.

In total, Feadship has nine yachts in the Top 100 Largest Superyachts.

M/Y ANNA is not expected to be available for charter. But for more information on chartering a Feadship yacht , speak to your preferred charter broker .

110m Feadship superyacht Anna undertakes sea trials

The largest  Feadship  superyacht to date, Anna , has embarked on her first day of sea trials. The superyacht was pictured leaving the port of Den Helder in the Netherlands on July 24 and will complete rigorous sea trials in the North Sea.

It comes after the superyacht was launched earlier this month at the yard's Makkum facility. She was moved through the centre of Amsterdam and had final steering and propulsion gear fitted ahead of her sea trials. Once delivered she will join Jubilee as the joint largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands.

Styled inside by  Michael Leach Design  in collaboration with the owner's personal New York decorator Brian McCarthy Inc., the 110 metre Anna  features in-house naval architecture by  De Voogt . She was first spotted outside its shed at Feadship's Papendrecht sub-contractor Scheepswerf Slob in December 2016 after which the hull and superstructure were moved to Makkum for fit-out ahead of a planned 2018 delivery.

This four-deck displacement yacht is being built to Lloyd’s Registry standards and features a dramatic architectural curve that links the main deck with the upper deck. Hatches in the topsides hint at a side-loading  tender garage  and a fold-out  superyacht beach club , although those features are yet to be confirmed by the yard.

The collaboration with Michael Leach Design is significant as the UK-based studio has previously worked on the iconic 96 metre  Blohm + Voss  superyacht  Palladium  and one other Feadship yacht, the 67 metre  Anna .

When completed, Anna will rank among  the world’s largest superyachts  and will steal the title of Feadship flagship from the 101.5 metre  Symphony , which was launched in 2015.

Other recent notable projects from the Dutch yard include the 73 metre Hasna , which was delivered in 2017 and was a winner at the World Superyacht Awards 2018 , and the 69.5 metre Samaya , also delivered in 2017. Looking further forward, the yard is also believed to be developing a 93 metre yacht called Project 814 , with a 2019 delivery planned.

ANNA Yacht – Charismatic $250M Superyacht

ANNA yacht is a 110m Super Yacht beauty designed by Michael Leach Design. She has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and is the largest yacht ever built by Feadship .

Luxury yacht manufacturer Michael Leach unveiled the ANNA yacht, a stunning luxury superyacht, which is set to be one of the most expensive yachts in the world.

She will feature an ultra-contemporary interior by the multi-award-winning Super yacht design consultancy Michael Leach.

With an interior that evokes images of luxury and sophistication, this yacht is sure to impress.

ANNA yacht specifications

The ANNA yacht is a 110m Feadship Superyacht designed by Michael Leach Design in 2018. She has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and is the largest yacht ever built by Feadship.

She can accommodate 16 guests and 32 crewmen! Powered by 4 Caterpillar engines, she cruises at 14 knots and maxes out at 18 knots.

ANNA is the epitome of luxury. As one of the largest yachts in the world, ANNA is built to exceed all expectations.

With her modern interior design, she is a floating paradise for any guest or crew member.

Being one of only 58 yachts longer than 100m, ANNA costs an astronomical $250 million!

She requires annual running costs of $25 million — clearly, she’s worth every penny.

Every passenger will have access to four different types of cabins, including two VIP cabins, one suite, and one double cabin, giving them various options for their luxurious trip.

The ANNA yacht offers amenities such as air conditioning and an elevator, but there are also standard amenities that make a holiday even more comfortable, such as a beauty salon and underwater lights.

ANNA accommodates anyone with a passion for the sea!

The interior of ANNA blends elegance with the technical prowess of the most modern yacht in her class.

The decor is simple yet elegant and tasteful, whilst still allowing for a comfortable amount of space for as many as 16 guests.

There are 9 bedrooms on board, which along with the 2 VIP cabins can comfortably sleep up to 22 people, including the crew of 32 members.

This isn’t a luxury yacht — it’s a floating palace! The large space of the salon is equipped with nail and beauty salons for your pleasure and entertainment.

The water lights underneath the hull create a magical lantern-like glow and the elevator (two elevators in fact) will take you anywhere on the ship, including the beach club, where you can relax and unwind.

Every inch of the ANNA yacht interior has been fully maximized with easy access to entertainment and dining facilities, providing guests with no shortage of space to relax.

The main deck aft is one of the largest sunbathing areas on any motor yacht, and ample seating creates a sociable atmosphere.

The main salon and sky lounge are fitted with expansive outdoor balconies, and the spacious dining room offers superb views over the main deck.

From aft to the bow, this yacht has everything you need for a sublime nautical experience.

Walk into the main deck and you’ll find a staircase leading up to the upper deck, which houses a big alfresco dining table and an outdoor lounge.

On the fore deck, you’ll find space for hosting parties or kicking back with a good book.

The sundeck is the best place to soak up the sun. From the highest point on board, guests are treated to stunning views of their surroundings.

The sundeck is covered with lounge seating and offers a peaceful retreat from the rest of the ship.

Super Yacht Anna in Cabo San Lucas Bay

• July 30, 2020

Super Yacht Anna Today we have a new visitor to Cabo, the gigantic Anna is anchored in the bay. Being too large for our marina is no problem when you have a yacht like Anna. She is equipped with the newest stabilization technology and tenders and helicopters and a tank that will take her around the globe…

361 Feet long makes Anna the largest private vessel to ever anchor in Los Cabos. The yacht’s interior has been designed by Michael Leach. But you won’t find any photos of that. She has only 9 cabins to accommodate up to 18 lucky guests. She is also capable of carrying up to 36 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience. She can carry around 422,000 gallons of diesel on-board in her fuel tanks.Anna was built in Holland by Feadship. They are well known in the luxury yacht building world. This is their largest build to date. Anna was delivered to owner Dmitry Rybolovlev in 2018.The original Anna 1 has been tossed aside like an old toy. But don’t weep for her since she is being sold for $67m. That should keep her in the lap of luxury and taken care of.Speaking of ex’s- Monaco Football club’s Russian president Dmitri Rybolovlev has been ordered to pay a world record divorce settlement of more than $4.5 billion to his ex-wife Elena Rybolovleva. Making her a rather nice settlement after 24 years of marriage of which the last six were in court counting all the assets. The appeal was overturned and an undisclosed settlement was finally achieved. They have two daughters Ekaterina and Anna.Dmitri made his original fortune in fertilizer and has some controversies as any Oligarchs must. Murder allegations, Panama papers scandal, industrial pollution suits, and football leaks scandals are littered throughout his illustrious career. In all fairness, the murder charges were dropped after he served 11 months in prison and refused to admit guilt nor pay a stiff ransom.His collection of properties is astounding including NY City, Kauai, Monaco, Switzerland, Greek Islands. Rybolovlev’s equally impressive art collection has included paintings by Paul Gauguin, Auguste Rodin, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Mark Rothko, Vincent Van Gogh.This is the second Giga yacht in Los Cabos just this month. The IJE owned by Mr. Packer was the largest private vessel at 354 feet ever in Los Cabos. That record has fallen with this 361-foot Giga yacht Anna. Well played Dmitre perhaps it is time to add another property to your vast collection.If you want to book your own private yacht charter, Cabos Finest Yacht Charters can help. Whether for a day snorkel and fishing experience, a sunset cruise, or an overnighter, we broker a fleet of yachts and catamarans in many price ranges.This video is brought to you by CabosFinest your Insider’s Guide to Los Cabos.

Anna: The modern classic yacht that conceals some serious technology

• January 21, 2020

Anna is a custom 65ft Spirit of Tradition yacht with some very high-tech features concealed beneath her classic exterior, reports Alison Langley

When approaching Anna moored at the dock, it’s hard to immediately tell whether she is a restored classic or a recently built replica. In fact, neither is true; Anna is a new build designed to include both the virtues of a classic yacht and the technical achievements of a modern cruiser.

Anna ’s story began two decades ago when owner Tony Merck began thinking about stepping up from small classic daysailers, like the Herreshoff 12 1⁄2 and the Bjarne Aas-designed International One-Design, into a larger cruiser that could maintain a classic aesthetic.

Merck had watched the birth of the Spirit of Tradition genre and had followed boats like the Pedrick-designed carbon beauty Savannah , as well as the Joel White-designed W-Class day racers. But his ambitions lay less with recreating an early 20th Century racer. Instead he admired the sturdy, able cruisers from past designers such as Fife and Alden, while he also loved the modern construction and high specification of this new generation of classics.

Anna ‘s classically sumptuous cockpit

In the summer of 2015, Tony approached Robert Stephens of Stephens Waring Yacht Design and work began on proposal sketches for the boat that would become Anna at their design offices in Belfast, Maine. Stephens has had a lot of experience with modern wood construction, having worked in the Spirit of Tradition genre since before it even had a name.

Tony and his wife Ann knew they wanted her to be built in Maine, but were not set on a yard. Robert Stephens and business partner Paul Waring took Tony on a guided tour of five top Maine yards before deciding to go with Lyman Morse, of Thomaston. Coincidently, Tony had played soccer and rebuilt old cars with yard founder Cabot Lyman in prep school some 50 years before.

Systems expertise

Lyman-Morse is well-respected in the custom boat world, but were not then as well known for building wooden boats as many other Maine yards with expertise in cold-moulded wood construction . Lyman-Morse did, however, have a reputation for high-quality glassfibre and carbon boats, but won the job thanks to their systems expertise and a modern approach to construction, including the integration of old-school hand craftsmanship with cutting-edge equipment like five-axis CNC machines.

Revolver: Bruce Ritchie’s gentleman’s racer blends traditional and modern craftsmanship

“I wasn’t expecting this,” said Michael Ritchie when his 83-year-old father Bruce showed him the lines he had drawn up…

I was hired by Ann Merck and Lyman-Morse early in the project to photograph the entire project from start to finish, and make a coffee table book about Anna as a surprise gift for Tony. Project manager Lance Buchanan made sure my visits were timed so I could capture the build at the right moments.

Anna was built using a wood composite cold-moulding system. Her hull is planked in four layers of wood – an inner layer of tongue-and-groove Douglas fir strip planking, screwed and glued to the laminated Douglas fir frames. That’s followed by two layers of diagonal veneers, and a final layer of longitudinal strip planking, the whole sheathed in two layers of biaxial/mat glassfibre and epoxy.

Her deck is built as a sandwich, separate from the hull: plywood laid over a temporary mould, covered with CoreCell foam, then another ply skin, with a laid teak weatherdeck. Once interior components were in place the deck/cockpit/deckhouse assembly was installed as a unit.

Modular build

Lyman-Morse built Anna ’s interior in modules, allowing them to fabricate the galley, head, and main saloon off the boat and then lift each completed section into the hull. When each module was installed, the bulkheads mated against the curvature of the hull perfectly, with no trimming or additional tweaking required. Anna ’s construction adage became, literally, ‘measure once, cut once’.

Since Anna ’s design brief called for a classic ambience, that meant that hundreds of feet of hydraulic lines, electrical wires, and even halyards needed to be concealed beneath the yacht’s joinery. The designers at Lyman-Morse and Stephens Waring worked closely to come up with innovative ways to hide these wiring runs and mechanical spaces. By creating a complete 3D model of Anna they were able to plan these tiny crevices before construction began.

Stephens Waring brought in interior designer Martha Coolidge to contribute her fine eye to the style and detail of the interior, which was painstakingly developed with a combination of hand-coloured sketches, computer renderings and tactile examples. “I think we went through 17 iterations of the brass light-switch covers!” recalls Stephens.

8,212ft of tongue and groove (Douglas fir) planks were used for the inner layer of the hull

Anna is intended for easy daysailing, and her deck layout reflects this. A roller-furling boom from Southern Spars makes simple work of the large, high aspect ratio mainsail. A self-tacking jib will be the go-to sail for most of her career.  Anna ’s captain, Jim Murphy, enjoys sailing with guests aboard. “I love to call ‘Ready about’ and watch the guests ask ‘What happens now?’ and see their faces when I say ‘Nothing’, and just spin the wheel,” he comments with a grin.

But ease of sailing has not dulled the experience. Murphy explains: “Under sail, Anna is like a wonderful dancer. Her motion, her response to the sea and helm are like no other boat that I have sailed. An absolute joy.” For Anna ’s forays onto the racecourse, she switches to the ‘race jib’, a 100% working jib that fits on the furling headstay. A Code Zero and masthead asymmetric round out her inventory.

Hidden high tech

Anna ’s traditional style masks lots of high-tech systems. Sail handling systems are all push-button: electric winches, roller-furling boom and jib, and hydraulics to drive the sail controls. Two hidden systems maintain her classic lines while adding 21st Century functionality: a below deck anchor deployment system, and a side-boarding platform that eases access from a tender and provides a swimming ‘porch’.

A hydraulic boarding platform enables easy access to the water for all generations. The step-stool ladder deploys automatically

Beneath the saloon is a state-of-the-art engine room with turbodiesel motor, lithium ion batteries and multi-compressor air conditioning. A touchscreen nav plotter in the raised saloon disappears into the furniture with a touch of a button. Her deck saloon windows are power-operated at rear and sides, allowing airflow and communication with people sitting in the cockpit at the push of a button.

Following her launch in April 2018, Anna has completed two sailing seasons, split between Rhode Island, Maine , and Nova Scotia , with a good mix of day sailing, Spirit of Tradition racing, and overnight sails. She’s earned silverware in both Sprit of Tradition races and design awards but, more importantly, she’s fulfilled the ambition her owners had 20 years earlier to expand their world of classic sailing.

Bannenberg & Rowell Design just proved you don’t have to reinvent the wheel—or hull, in this case—to stand out.

The new 164-footer, christened Spitfire on account of her grunt, pairs a sleek, sporty, and somewhat utilitarian exterior with a luxurious, amenity-plenty interior. Bannenberg & Rowell executed the design, while fellow British outfit Lateral Naval Architects spearheaded the engineering.

Spitfire is lightweight in construction but punchy in terms of performance and range, according to Bannenberg & Rowell. The studio didn’t share any details regarding the propulsion system but says the “super-nimble” yacht can cruise “electrically and silently,” can hit 22 knots, and cover up to 3,500 nautical miles.

Spitfire is designed to run like a workhorse but offers all the requisite mod cons. Bannenberg & Rowell has stuck with the old naming conventions in a nod to the newcomer’s military roots. The layout includes buddy quarters (guest cabins) and a wardroom (salon) with an opening roof, as well as a scramble station (helm) and a fun store (gym). The owner doesn’t just get a lavish suite, but also a private, forward area with a Jacuzzi. Other highlights of the yacht include an outdoor cinema, a grill, and a beach club with fold-out terraces.

Spitfire is one of Bannenberg & Rowell’s smaller and more understated creations. The studio previously penned a 367-foot superyacht with two cinemas, two jacuzzis, a large wellness center, a 33-foot pool, a DJ station, and a jazz bar, for example. That may have resulted in a shorter production time. Bannenberg & Rowell says the vessel is due to be delivered in 2026.
