Onboard (11 new items)

Broadwater is the lovely, pedigreed Feadship to make her way into the hands of an experienced owner with an appreciation for quality and keen eye for design.
Third in a series of highly acclaimed refits, the extensive transformation of Yard No.650 ranged from vast exterior modifications and technical upgrades that brought her in line with classification to a rebuilt interior that transformed into a sanctuary of comfortable elegance.

The design philosophy describes a tension between the elevated and the understated, animating every space. The provenance and heritage of the original architecture is respected, now desaturated and toned down to serve as a hushed, elegant backdrop against bespoke furnishings and notable artworks.

Every experience onboard is informed through pure expressions of natural materials. From brushed rift European Oak, open grain Back Walnut, and fumed Eucalyptus to richly patinated bronze and highly textural stones of Serpeggiante and Portoro. Deliciously tactile cashmeres, silks, wools, leathers, and linens in closely curated palettes all impart an ethos of quiet serenity and intimate finish.

State of the art amenities and features abound throughout both the interior and revamped exterior, including beachclub facilities within the four-metre extension of the hull and re-styled stern. The sundeck features a new mast and canopy architecture as well as a large spa pool, bar area and day head. The classic color scheme revolves around a Flag Blue hull and Snow-White superstructure with subtly modern detailing throughout.

Her Story (1 new item)

AN EXCEPTIONAL PEDIGREE
The debut of Broadwater is preceded by her venerable history. Built in 1994 by De Voogt Naval Architects at Feadship in the Netherlands, she was originally named Rasselas, after which she underwent several different incarnations and name changes, including Halcyon Days, and Time for Us. Her current owner established a new vision for De Vries 650, and began an extensive renovation that befits her pedigree.

AN AMBITIOUS TRANSFORMATION
Broadwater’s refit was completed in 2020 at the Royal Huisman shipyard. Now 185 feet long, her revitalized design includes exterior improvements and technical upgrades, and an entirely rebuilt interior. Together, they express her owner’s appreciation for quality and design-led craftsmanship, and the ambition to create a vessel of understated luxury. Realized by award-winning Creative Director Adam Voorhees, the design philosophy for Broadwater respects her provenance and contributes to her original architecture. Voorhees balances his affinity for natural materials and elegant lines with the enormous challenges of yacht design. Every detail is carefully selected: from genuine finishes of oak, walnut, and eucalyptus to textures of patinated bronze, Serpeggiante and Portoro stone—and the luscious tactility of cashmere, silks, linen, and leather. Together they transport guests to an authentic, elegant setting that is designed for comfort.

A TRIUMPHANT REBIRTH
Broadwater is the vessel’s third refit, and introduces a four-meter extension and a restyled, elegant stern. These significant interventions allow for new state-of-the-art amenities that include a Beach Club, as well as a sundeck with new mast and canopy architecture, a well- appointed new Jacuzzi, and stylish lounges. Her classic livery pairs a Flag Blue hull with Snow White superstructure, reflecting Broadwater’s chic, modern approach.
