She is the second yacht named CALLISTO for her Owners, the first also being a Feadship-constructed motor yacht, measuring 65.2m/213.11ft, built in 2006 and last refitted in 2021. She was the first superyacht to have an advanced rudder-roll system installed.

This smaller CALLISTO has been custom-designed to fit her berth in the Mediterranean , and before the design process began the Owners stipulated a top speed of more than 20. Her naval architecture from  De Voogt Naval Architects and aluminium hull and superstructure has created an excellent performance at high speeds, reducing pitch and lowering resistance. The twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines CALLISTO have been installed with both produce 1,939 kW @ 2,450 rpm to create a top speed of 21 knots, a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a range of 3,000 nautical miles at an economical 11 knots, matching the Owner’s requirements.

The exterior styling is also by De Voogt, who has given her an athletic appearance. Within, the interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design match the spirit of summer in the Mediterranean with light and refined colour scheme with an emphasis on space.

Overnight, M/Y CALLISTO accommodated up to 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and 2 twin cabins.

The crew accommodation sleeps up to 8 over 5 cabins, consisting of 3 twin cabins and 1 single cabin on the lower deck, and the Captain’s cabin on the bridge deck.

About Callisto

Historians reflecting on the superyacht industry of the 2020s may well cite the 42.50-metre Callisto as a textbook example of what is meant by the term ‘pure custom creation’. Built to a precise size to match her berth in the Mediterranean, Callisto seamlessly balances the owners’ desire for a 21-knot-fast superyacht with specific accommodation and outdoor entertainment wishes based on their rich experience at sea. The result is an exceptional one-off superyacht for repeat clients which sets a new precedent for bespoke luxury cruising below 500GT.

Feadship Launches ‘Callisto’

• By Yachting Staff
• May 4, 2022

Feadship in the Netherlands has launched Callisto , a 139-foot, all-aluminum motoryacht that is scheduled for delivery to the owners in June.

The launch took place April 4 at Feadship’s DeVries Aalsmeer facility, and the yacht exited the yard April 9, bound for sea trials and cruising in the Mediterranean this summer. Longtime clients of Camper & Nicholsons International broker Alex Lees-Buckley are the owners.

Interior design on Callisto is by Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design, with naval architecture and exterior styling by Feadship. Twin MTU engines are expected to produce a top speed of more than 20 knots, as well as transatlantic range at lower speeds.

Inside, there are five staterooms for 10 guests. The master is full-beam on the main deck, and there are two full-beam VIPs below. There also are quarters for eight crew, including a captain’s cabin on the bridge deck.

Will Callisto be available for charter? No, at least not immediately. Plans are for the yacht to operate privately within the Camper & Nicholsons Yacht Management Division.

Custom M/Y 42.5m CALLISTO Launched by Feadship

By Emily Dawkins

16 years after the delivery of Feadship’s first 65.2m Callisto, the second custom superyacht under the same name, has been launched. At 42.5m, the new Callisto has been custom built to her owners’ preferences: comprising innovative solutions with high-end quality and comfort standards.

Built for repeat Feadship clients, and owners of the first 2006-delivered 65.2m Callisto, 42.5m Callisto was launched from the Dutch shipyard’s Aalsmeer facilities this morning. Her precise length has been created to match her berth in the Mediterranean, alongside specific accommodation and outdoor entertaining areas tailored to her owner’s desires of creating the perfect custom superyacht that can reach a maximum speed of 21 knots. 

Feadship and De Voogt Naval Architects, jointly responsible for her naval architecture, were able to meet the owners' requests to find an optimal balance between both a high speed yacht, and ample onboard room for five luxury en suite staterooms, a spacious full-beam bridge lounge, as well as a magnificent main deck salon. 

Loosely based on her classic 65.2m mothership, the new Callisto features more contemporary elements and sporty finishes to highlight her newer build date and impressive speed. Also designed by De Voogt Naval Architects, her exterior boasts sleek lines and clean angles, whilst ensuring a relatively low and compact under 500GT profile, as requested by her owners. Callisto features a spacious sun deck, with glass walls to provide shelter from the wind, as well as several luxurious exterior lounging areas, and a generous swimming platform, which can be transformed to create the ultimate waterfront al fresco dining space. 

Her private, complementary, interiors have been designed by renowned Dutch interior design studio, Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, and are believed to be light, calming and spacious: inspired by the glorious Mediterranean summer. 

Callisto’s Project Manager, Pieter de Vries, commented on her journey to launch: ‘ it has been a genuine pleasure to work again with such knowledgeable clients on Callisto. They had hoped to visit the yard regularly having loved their time building their first custom Feadship. Although the pandemic made this challenging they kept in good touch via virtual meetings and could also leverage on their trust in Feadship to deliver their demands in tandem with the on-site owner’s team.’

‘Practising social distancing while building a yacht of 42.50 metres demanded a great deal of organisation and discipline among our engineers and craftsmen. We are delighted, nonetheless, to be able to deliver Callisto on time and to have created such a stunning Feadship for owners who deserve the very best. ’

Feadship has certainly created, yet another, exceptional and unique vessel, that now sets an industry precedent for luxury cruising below 500GT. 

"We are delighted to be able to deliver Callisto on time and to have created such a stunning Feadship for owners who deserve the very best." Pieter de Vries, Project Manager, Feadship

42.5m Feadship Callisto makes her way to open sea

Following her launch on April 8, Feadship's 42.5 metre Callisto has left the Aalsmeer facilities to begin sea trials in the North Sea.

Formerly known as Project 709, the yacht has been built in aluminium to a design by de Voogt , with Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design handling the interior. The yacht was commissioned by experienced owners who requested a fast and spacious yacht that would fit snugly into her berth in the Mediterranean.

The yacht will have plenty of practise with snug fits, as she navigates a series of hairpin bends and narrow gaps on her journey between Aalsmeer and Rotterdam. As with all of the yachts in its fleet, Feadship will plan every aspect of Callisto's journey to ensure a smooth passage through the Dutch waterways.  

The finished Callisto is a fully-custom Feadship that sits just under the 500 GT threshold and is capable of reaching top speeds of 21 knots. To ensure a speed-optimised design, she features a unique bow that reduces pitching and lowers resistance at higher speeds.

The new Callisto borrows style cues from the first Callisto , a 65 metre that was delivered in 2006. Both yachts share the same classic profile and signature Feadship styling, but de Voogt has added sporty touches to the new Callisto to reflect her speedier capacities.

Al fresco living was a key component to the yacht's design brief, and Callisto offers plenty of outdoor spaces to accommodate that. She is crowned by a large sundeck with plenty of shade from the sun and shelter from the wind, as well as a spacious seating area on the bridge deck. Callisto can also accommodate waterfront dining on the swim platform. 

Tender storage is located in a lower deck garage, as well as in a hatch-concealed bay in the foredeck that's accessible via a crane and can also host two jet-skis.

Interiors follow a light, bright, Mediterranean-inspired theme. Accommodation is split between a full-beam owner's cabin on the main deck plus two large VIP cabins and two twin guest cabins. All cabins are en suite, and there are further quarters for a crew of eight.

Project manager Pieter de Vries commented, " it has been a genuine pleasure to work again with such knowledgeable clients on Callisto. They had hoped to visit the yard regularly, having loved their time building their first custom Feadship.

"Although the pandemic made this challenging they kept in good touch via virtual meetings and could also leverage on their trust in Feadship to deliver their demands in tandem with the on-site owner's team."

The sale of the yacht was announced in February 2020, with Alex Lees-Buckley at Camper & Nicholsons International handling the sale.

The yacht is powered by twin MTU propulsion engines that give her a comfortable cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a 3,000 nautical mile range at 11 knots.

Billionaire fights to dock his boat on water behind his house. His 164-foot boat, that is.

The love of the water, and a mega-yacht to enjoy it, is putting one resident at odds with village of north palm beach leaders..

For some people, the ultimate Florida lifestyle is a waterfront house , a private dock and a boat parked next to it. But what if that boat is a mega-yacht , and the mega-yacht stretches 164 feet?

That's the conundrum facing the Village of North Palm Beach.

This tiny community in northern Palm Beach County, with only 13,000 full-time residents, has an identity so tied to the water that a ship's steering wheel is the village's emblem.

But it's that love of the water that is putting one resident at odds with village leaders.

For the past several years, homeowner Michael Bozutto has been battling the village for the right to park his 164-foot Westport, dubbed Honey, behind a home he owns at 932 Shore Drive.

The house, built in 1961, is a one-story, ranch-style property with three bedrooms on a half-acre lot. Bozzuto paid $840,247 for the house in 2014, according to Palm Beach County property records.

Lawsuit rooted in dispute over where to dock mega-yacht

What makes this plain house special is its location. It's on a rare corner bordered on the north and east by navigable waters that provide access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet. The east-facing dock is large enough to accommodate Bozzuto's motor yacht.

Since Bozutto bought Honey for an undisclosed sum a decade ago, he mostly has parked it at the Old Port Cove Marina, near Tiger Woods' 155-foot showy mega-yacht, ironically dubbed Privacy.

More recently, Bozzuto has wanted to park Honey alongside his Shore Drive house, one of four houses he owns in the village. While Bozzuto keeps some personal property at the Shore Drive house, he lives at a house he owns at Harbour Isles Court.

Village officials warned Bozzuto he can't park Honey at 932 Shore Drive because boats can only be parked on docks behind houses that are occupied by the homeowner.

But village rules do not define the word "occupied." For instance, the rules do not state that occupied means the house is a residence where the owner lives. Village rules also contain no restrictions on the size of boats that can be kept at private docks.

After years of pushing back against what he believes are fuzzy rules, Bozzuto in March filed a lawsuit against the village.

He alleged the municipality is illegally depriving him of his property rights because nothing in the village code prevents him from mooring Honey at his house. He is asking a Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge to rule that he has a constitutional right to dock Honey there.

Gregory Coleman, Bozzuto's West Palm Beach attorney, said the village has plenty of waterfront homes with yachts parked behind them. But Coleman said the village is illegally blocking Bozzuto from docking Honey at his house because the village is bending to pressure from a handful of neighbors who think the boat is too big.

The selective enforcement is wrong, said Coleman, a former president of the Florida Bar.

"He's a very under-the-radar guy who doesn't cause anybody any problems," Coleman said of Bozzuto. "He pays his property taxes, and he wants to be left alone by the village of North Palm Beach. Unfortunately, they are singling Mike out."

Neither Leonard Rubin, the village's longtime attorney, nor Village Manager Chuck Huff responded to requests for comment.

Eric Stettin, a Fort Lauderdale-based attorney who is representing the village in the Bozzuto lawsuit, said he could not comment on pending litigation.

What good is a man's castle if he can't have a boat in his moat?

Coleman's lawsuit describes the conflict as a battle over property rights, but real estate and yachting experts say it's also a sign of the times.

As wealthy new residents pour into the county wanting all the perks of the Sunshine State, they want a boat to go along with their waterfront homes and golf club memberships. Some longtime residents fear Palm Beach County is turning into a playground for billionaires, to the detriment of everyday people who also want to live in sunshine and peace.

This conflict between Old Florida and new money is an ever-present tension, but even seasoned yacht brokers say they've never seen interest in luxury yachts quite as strong as it is now.

"What we've seen in the marketplace right after COVID in the yachting industry, and especially the superyacht segment, is the most incredible growth ever seen in the history of yachting to date," said Shannon McCoy, a luxury yacht advisor and broker with Worth Avenue Yachts in Palm Beach.

"A lot of people are moving here with serious money," added Pascal Savoy, U.S. managing director of Camper & Nicholsons International yacht brokers in Fort Lauderdale.

While in the past Palm Beach County was not considered lively enough for some buyers, Savoy said the county's growing sophistication is putting it on the map in a way never seen before.

"It's a mini-Monaco for us," Savoy said.

Prices for mega-yachts can range from $18 million to $60 million, or many times that, for the largest and most decked-out mega-yachts, Savoy said.

While some yachts can be glitzy, a 164-foot Westport is considered a more low-profile boat, Savoy added.

Michael Bozzuto's interests: Houses, boats and philanthropy

Bozzuto is no newcomer to North Palm Beach. He's been a resident of the village for 20 years.

He is the billionaire owner of a family-owned supermarket wholesaler in Connecticut, and an investor and philanthropist who likes to collect houses and yachts, Coleman said.

In addition to the four North Palm Beach houses and several yachts he owns, Bozzuto in February paid a whopping $31.1 million for a house in the Town of Palm Beach Shores. The house, which has two docks, sits just north of the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet.

Coleman said there is plenty of room for other boaters to navigate the waterway when Honey is parked at the Shore Drive house in North Palm Beach. And while other people may not have as large a yacht, there are other sizeable yachts parked on docks behind other North Palm Beach homes, too, he added.

At a 2017 village council meeting, then-Mayor Darryl Aubrey commented on the issue, according to the complaint.

"When I didn't live here full time, I had a boat sitting in my dock, I was gone nine months of the year. I don't see how you can say that someone has to be in a residence year-round, seems to be some interpretation of occupant, there would be an enormous number of violations," Aubrey said.

Another member of the village council asked if the village had a definition now, the complaint said.

Rubin, the village attorney, replied: "No, we don't," according to the lawsuit.

Palm Beach County's waterways run deep, and they are popular

The yacht docking dispute is particularly timely, given the scarcity of dock space for boats of all sizes.

The most convenient place to park a boat is on the water behind a house, brokers say. But not every waterway or channel can accommodate the draft, or depth, of a mega-yacht.

However, the dock behind Bozzuto's Shore Drive house can.

Not only is the Westport not known for its deep hulls, but the waterway also is typical of northern Palm Beach County, which boasts deep water and easy access to the ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet, said Coleman, a lifelong boater.

"In Palm Beach County, they have deeper water, and it allows people to have larger yachts," Savoy agreed.

But not every waterway is deep enough for every boat.

McCoy said she specializes in helping advise potential yacht owners about the county's varied water depths before they buy a house, if they plan to dock their yacht behind it.

If yacht owners don't have a private dock, the other option is a marina. But marina space is hard to find, with many dock berths reserved for months in advance, McCoy said.

Despite the challenges of owning a boat and finding a place to dock it, yacht brokers say demand continues.

They see interest continuing from business executives moving here with their families as they relocate their companies to Palm Beach County. There's also a growing demand for yachts among female buyers, McCoy added.

They also see younger mega-yacht buyers, some even in their early 30s. This is in sharp contrast to the mostly older buyers in the past, Savoy said.

Palm Beach County may not be as go-go as Miami-Dade County when it comes to showy ships, but if interest continues, "it's coming," Savoy said. "You're going to attract bigger yachts."

Put another way: "No one needs a boat, but everyone needs a boat," McCoy said. "It's the ultimate lifestyle."

Billionaires are getting ready for summer with wildly spectacular superyachts

• Superyachts, the most expensive asset  a billionaire can own, are pushing the boundaries of luxury.
• The boats, which cost eight or nine figures, are getting larger and include more features than ever.
• From massage rooms to basketball courts, here's what the world's richest want on board.

For many wealthy boat owners, a private spa is a must-have on board. A sauna is a nice touch. A Jet Ski or two makes days at sea way more fun. And if you don't have someone on board who can whip up a Michelin-star-worthy meal , you might as well stay on land.

In the world of massive yachts , there's no such thing as too much. After all, if someone spends eight or nine figures to design the vessel of their dreams — or at least $500,000 a week to charter one — more is more.

"Yachting. It's not rational; it's emotional," Ralph Dazert, the head of intelligence at SuperYacht Times, told Business Insider at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where dozens of superyachts — often defined as vessels over 30 meters in length — were on display.

And while there are certain classic features, such as jacuzzis and bars, what superyacht owners want is evolving, insiders at the show said. That might mean more crew members, more space for helicopters, or more water toys, but might also include manicure salons and putting greens.

"The bar of what is the baseline expectation has increased exponentially just over the last four or five years," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage Fraser Yachts, said. Clients are "spending more time on the boat and really wanting to extend the lifestyle they lead on the shore."

A lot of this can be chalked up to the pandemic. Superyacht purchases and charters spiked as life and luxury travel on land screeched to a halt. While the market has moderated slightly, the number of superyachts on order — 1,166 as of September, according to Boat International's Global Order Book — is still above pre-pandemic norms.

"What the pandemic really showed is that the appetite for being out there at sea, sort of living the marine lifestyle, is still as valid as ever," Kurtén said.

That means there's a lot of money on the water. The total value of the 203 superyachts over 30 meters delivered last year was $6.4 billion, according to data from SuperYacht Times. New custom builds from the world's most prestigious shipyards — Lurssen, Feadship, Oceanco , Benetti — can run into the hundreds of millions. Even used superyachts at the Palm Beach show cost as much as $75 million.

And it's not just traditional buyers like retired wealthy couples looking for a place to relax or celebrities looking for a place to party away from the paparazzi. New clients are often younger and have families, so want areas to work and watch movies . They also want pricey water toys, access to fitness equipment, or even pizza ovens for picky eaters.

"This would've never happened in the nineties," said Giovanna Vitelli, the vice president of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts. "You would go with your beautiful woman, Champagne — the idea of yachting was much more showing off with your jacuzzi and things like that."

Pure opulence has made room for function.

When Benetti's Nabila set sail in 1980, its 50-person crew, gold-and-diamond-encrusted interiors, and lavish parties captured headlines and even inspired the Queen song "Kashoggi's Ship."(Seven years later, Donald Trump bought Nabila for $30 million , renaming her the Trump Princess.)

"Life on board was considered very formal — big formal dining rooms, boats were high on the water, you would be segregated from the rest of the world," Vitelli said, remembering another client who insisted on a replica of the Sistine Chapel above the dining table.

But the ostentatious, palatial-like interiors that used to be highlighted in yacht brochures have made way for lists of more functional features .

Related stories

Rather than esoteric novelties like an extra-large safe for rifles that one builder had to construct per a Russian yacht owner's request , the superyachts on display at the Palm Beach show featured basketball courts, saunas, and ice baths.

Owners want elevators and luxury gyms. Pampering options, be it a massage room, manicure station, or a professional-grade facial machine, are a dime a dozen. Some bathrooms have fancy Toto toilets, which can cost around $20,000.

Sterns (that's the back of the boat) used to be built high to guard guests' privacy. Now, they're built as "beach clubs" — an open swim platform.

And what good is a massage room if no one on board can give one? Many superyachts can hold twice as many crew members as guests, if not more. One broker, representing a boat that didn't have a masseuse, said it could be quite a "tricky" issue because if a charter wants one, they have to find someone who can massage guests and "pull their weight with the crew."

"It's not uncommon to look for a deckhand who can also mix a martini, play an instrument, maybe entertain the guests with singing, and ideally even give a massage," Kurtén said.

Of course, a crew comes at a cost . Most are considered full-time employees, requiring salaries and benefits like health insurance. Captains, first mates, and chief engineers often make six figures a year. That's without tips; a charter guest will typically spend six figures on gratuities for the crew who worked during a weeklong vacation.

For the superrich, there must be room for toys.

It's not just the onboard amenities that count. What's known as "toys" in the industry — water slides, eFoils, Jet Skis, and underwater scuba diving jets — are popular, and costs range from merely hundreds of dollars (banana boats) to millions ( submersibles , which are still popular despite the recent tragedy).

" Tenders and toys, the sky seems to be the limit," Kurtén said. "More is more."

If you can't fit all those toys in the yacht's storage space, you can just use another boat. Jeff Bezos' support yacht is a superyacht in itself, measuring 75 meters and costing tens of millions of dollars. (His main yacht, Koru , cost a reported $500 million.)

Support yachts are also faster, meaning the crew can get to a destination first and set up the Jet Skis, seapools, and the like, Dazert said. "By the time the owner arrives on the main yacht, everything's set up, and he can go and have fun."

Even tenders, the smaller vessel that brings guests from the ship to the shore, are getting glow-ups. The Nero, a 90-meter beauty available to charter for about $500,000 a week and modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship, has custom-built tenders to match the design. The most expensive ones often cost seven figures. Nero has three.

"It used to be a tender was a tender," Jeffrey Beneville, who handles yacht insurance at NFP, told BI. "Now they're called limousine tenders. Think of an incredibly luxurious gondola that's got a hard top so nobody's hair gets mussed when they're being dropped off at the Monaco Yacht Club ."

One thing that clearly hasn't changed in superyachting: showing off. If the boat next door at the marina has an indoor-outdoor cinema, it's natural to want one too. Ditto a wine cellar or helipad.

"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Vitelli, whose company is behind the Lana yacht Bill Gates chartered for a birthday party three years ago, said. "You push it a little more."

And that's a boon for yacht makers and brokers catering to the superrich.

"Our job is to make clients' dreams come true," Kurtén said.

Marsa may be the third Amels 200 to be delivered, but the semi-custom superyacht differs greatly from sisterships Stella M and Moonstone .

Marsa showcases a sleek exterior from the drawing board of British designer Tim Heywood. The owner opted for a distinctive two-tone paint job, with the hull, curves, and arches finished in Whisper Gray and the windbreakers decked out in dark gray.

The sprawling living quarters, which can be navigated via a four-deck elevator, include cabins for up to 12 guests and space for lounging, entertaining, and working. The owner also decided to add a balcony to the main deck and an outdoor bar to every level because alfresco cocktails are always welcome after the nine-to-five slog.

As for cruising, Marsa is equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system that enables her to travel some 4,500 nautical miles at 15.5 knots. In other words, the yacht could travel from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to the U.S. (4,042 nautical miles) with no problems. She’ll release fewer emissions than a traditional gas-powered vessel, too.

“For me, again I say this is the most beautiful yacht we’ve made, but I seem to say that with every delivery,” Oomkens added.

Marsa will now embark upon her maiden voyage, following a private itinerary created by her owner.
