Newest Feadship Superyacht Unveiled
Newest Feadship emerges from its build shed in Holland
With new superyachts of staggering sizes emerging from shipyards all over the world this spring, you might think it would be easy to say 'Ho hum, just another superyacht launch.' Well, as one of the lucky few who's been able to visit many of the most respected superyacht shipyards in the world (who's also been granted a glimpse of just how many gifted artists, craftsman, designers, naval architects, welders, electronics and computer experts, furniture makers, carpenters, propulsion and propeller experts, sound and light engineers, and a myriad of other highly talented people working together like a 3-dimensional symphony of shipbuilding for up to four years it takes to build a superyacht like the one that just emerged from a Feadship build shed in Holland), I'm here to say… 'No superyacht launch is ever 'just another superyacht launch!''
The new Feadship Project 827 just before she emerges from her build shed.
In my opinion, every new superyacht launched not only occupies the absolute pinnacle of luxury. In many cases, they're also the largest, custom-built, one-of-a-kind, and yes…most expensive products (that entire villages of highly skilled craftspeople build by hand) humans can buy. They're mobile private islands of awesome. They're the ultimate flex. And they are ultimate family escape craft too. So, without further ado, may I introduce you to the newest 235-foot-long Feadship superyacht that's simply called Project 827?
According to the specs, the exterior design and styling featuring clean lines and perfect proportions by is Studio De Voogt. It has five decks of living space and generous interior spaces that feature gobs of floor-to-ceiling glass, angelic natural light, and community spaces that are conducive to chilling.
A dedicated owner's deck offers a panoramic and secluded master stateroom with wrap-around glass, direct access to a private breakfast area, and my personal favorite—a hot tub. This secluded level is made possible by the raised pilothouse.
TaDa! The new Feadship Project 827 sees the sun for the first time.
On the main deck aft, the saloon is wraped in floor-to-celling glass, and opens onto an large aft deck area with a 23-foot-long pool and lots of comfortable places to lounge in the sun. The guest accommodation areas are located on the main deck too. Four staterooms and two VIP suites offer flexible comfort, with the VIPs able to combine into a full-beam suite. Beneath the aft deck, a wellness space sits just steps from the swim platform and is easily accessible to everyone on board.
Richard Lambert, Senior Partner at Burgess says, 'It has been a pleasure to have worked hand in hand with the owner and Feadship for Project 827; our close collaboration has resulted in a contemporary, elegant design with an impressive volume.'
Meanwhile, Project 827's propulsion is driven by a next-generation diesel-electric system that shows Feadship continues to innovate hybrid propulsion systems that combine IMO Tier III-compliant generators with electric thrusters to create cruising experience that's quieter, cleaner, and engineered to support future sustainable energy solutions.
All I have to say is…congratulations to everyone involved! And I can't wait to see Project 827 in the wild (with a new name of course) when the lucky new owner takes delivery.

This tiny pop-up restaurant from 2 Miami chefs won a Michelin star. Now it's closing
The farm-to-table pop-up that defied the odds to win a Michelin star is closing in Miami Shores. EntreNos, the brainchild of chefs Evan Burgess and Osmel Gonzalez, has announced its time sharing space with Tinta y Cafe, which was open during the day with EntreNos taking over at night, has come to an end. The restaurant, which opened in 2023 with an eye toward sustainability and sourcing as much as possible from Florida farms, ranches and fishermen, announced the news on Instagram. 'What started as a short-term pop-up turned into something far more meaningful than we ever expected,' the post said. 'We never planned to last this long but the support, dedication, and love we received made it impossible to walk away. Tinta y Cafe became a home. And at the heart of that home were the farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk, and artisans, those who showed us, season after season, that Florida can grow with purpose, with integrity, and with a true sense of place.' The restaurant, at 9840 NE Second Ave., became known for its ability to preserve, freeze, ferment and macerate local ingredients to find uses for them out of season. Burgess and Gonzalez strove to source ingredients from around the state, from the pig farms in central Florida to the agricultural oasis of Homestead. Local sourcing was a key component of the restaurant. 'You go to a restaurant, and the fish isn't from Florida,' Burgess told the Miami Herald when EntreNos opened. 'Michelin-starred restaurants are getting ingredients from around the world, and there are amazing ingredients in Florida. We agreed we're sick of that system.' The hard work paid off for the pair quickly: In 2024, EntreNos was awarded a Michelin star and praised for its small but impressive menu. 'The eclectic, inviting space may be small, but the cooking here is not to be underestimated,' the guide wrote. 'Just-caught seafood and beautifully grown produce from the Sunshine state take on lives of their own in the hands of this bold, creative team. Think shrimp from Cape Canaveral and soft, confit potatoes with chawanmushi or consider the dry-aged, grilled cobia served with a Moujean tea beurre blanc.' In 2025, EntreNos retained its star and added a Michelin Green Star, an award that highlights restaurants that for outstanding commitment to sustainable practices in gastronomy, places that are leading the way in eco-friendly and ethical food sourcing, waste reduction, and overall environmental responsibility. The restaurant will remain open through June. The team is scheduling a series of special events to celebrate EntreNos; follow @entrenosmiami for a schedule.

Feadship Unveils Two More Superyachts
Feadship Project Valor is launched It's no surprise that superyachts measuring from 262-feet to well over 300-feet long take thousands of skilled workers years to design and build. You know what is surprising? The fact that Feadship has unveiled three new superyachts (with a combined length of over 700 feet) in nearly as many weeks this spring. The 235-foot-long Project 827 was announced first. But that was only the beginning. Feadship's latest launch is an explorer yacht featuring a distinctive bow and paint scheme. Previously known as Project 715, the just launched Valor features styling that was requested by a repeat American owner and includes a battleship's distinctive dreadnaught bow and a modern guided missile frigate's silhouette along with the requisite amount of luxury you'd expect of yacht of this size. Such a bold exterior look is the result of designer Chris Bottoms at Studio De Voogt listening to the owner's ideas. 'The owner requested something that 'would be recognizable from outer space' as a unique design and eschewed the both the wedding cake and common curvaceous designs found on so many yachts,' Bottoms said. I say, 'mission accomplished.' The new Feadship Valor has a luxury warship vibe. Meanwhile, the Bannenberg & Rowell Design interior is elegant featuring highest quality wood, metal, glass and stonework. The interior also features a mix of vintage, mid-century and custom new furnishings from the some of the worlds most best furniture builders including George Nakashima, Linley, Pollaro, and Silver Lining. Linley made the bespoke billet titanium directors chairs for some of the exterior dining spaces. The interior stone was personally selected in Italy. Even the main salon features unique, American-made McIntosh stereo equipment, including one of their famous record players with a selection of reference albums. The owners' deck has a forward-facing stateroom offering views out over the helideck, al fresco lounging with a private hot tub, a large ensuite dressing room, and an office. The owners deck also has a sky lounge and a large formal dining area. Feadship Project 824 emerges from the shed Accommodations are for fourteen including the owner's suite. There are six guest suites on the main deck, along with the main lounge, covered outdoor dining and the spacious deck surrounding the large pool heated with latent and recycled energy. The beach club features oversized doors that fold down to the water and provide easy access to the water toys, exercise equipment and dive gear. Meanwhile, the hybrid-diesel-electric propulsion system developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program is state of the art. Instead of main engines and auxiliary generators, the yacht draws propulsion energy and power for her household systems from four variable speed, ultra-efficient generators linked to a DC power grid and a water-cooled 5.34-megawatt hour lithium-ion battery bank. A high efficiency solar cell array on the mast augments this highly efficient system with extra carbon-free energy. Valor can operate for up to 48 hours on battery power alone, with a zero-carbon footprint and ultra quiet operation, allows visits to sensitive marine areas in zero emission mode. Valor will also be trialed using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil BioFuel (HVO), that's reported to be able to reduce carbon emissions by up to 90 per cent. Feadship Project 824 dwarfs the surrounding boats near the Feadship facility in Kaag Valor is now in the final stages of outfitting, will soon begin sea trials and will attend the Monaco Yacht Show in 2025 in September. The other yacht to emerge from a large shed at Feadship's Kaag location is simply called Project 824. And while information is limited, I can say the exterior was designed by Jamsen. The interior was designed by Liaigre. And oh yeah, it's 328-feet-long. Watch this space.

‘Simply not true' Burgess fires back at mayor's tax cut claim
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County's Assessor of Property Melvin Burgess responded to Mayor Lee Harris on Thursday, a day after the mayor proposed a budget he said would cut the county property tax rate by 66 cents. Burgess said the tax rate is set to go down, but it's because of state law and the work he and his staff did — not because of Harris. 'Any statements made by Mayor Lee Harris claiming he or his administration are responsible for any tax decrease are simply not true,' Burgess wrote in an open letter released to media. Mayor proposes tax cut in new Shelby County budget Harris presented his $1.7 billion budget to county commissioners on Wednesday, with a proposed new property tax rate of $2.73 per $100 of assessed value, down from from $3.39, a 20% decrease. If approved, Harris says the new rate would be the lowest in Shelby County in 30 years. But Burgess says $2.73 is the amount the county would likely be legally required to set anyway, and it doesn't amount to a tax cut. Under Tennessee's Truth in Taxation Act, the county is already required by state law to roll back the property tax rate in a reassessment year, to account for rising property values that could otherwise result in a major financial windfall for local governments. The county's certified tax rate is approved by the property assessor in coordination with state, and ratified by the county commission, Burgess said. 'The reason your taxes went down is not because of anything the Mayor Harris did,' Burgess wrote. 'Shelby County's property tax rate will decrease by 20%, from $3.39 to $2.73, because of the growth my staff and I captured in Shelby County. My office has worked diligently to train, deploy, and equip our appraisal professionals and support staff to capture this growth so that the citizens we serve can benefit from a lower tax rate.'
