According to AIS data, the yacht reached a top speed of over 15 knots during testing — an impressive performance for a vessel of her size and hybrid capability.
Launched quietly from Feadship’s Aalsmeer facility in February 2025, Faith has nonetheless attracted considerable attention. The yacht was last seen making her way through the Dutch canals en route to open water, where she underwent her sea trials before her expected early summer delivery.
A Successor to the First Faith
The new M/Y Faith, also known as Project 714, is widely believed to be the replacement yacht for Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll. Stroll was previously the owner of the original 96.6-metre Faith — now renamed superyacht Sophia — which was launched by Feadship in 2017 and was among the yard’s most distinctive yachts, famous for her “snow room,” glass-bottomed swimming pool, and refined RWD design.
Stroll, a passionate automotive entrepreneur and current chairman of Aston Martin, has a well-documented love for high-performance engineering, which is reflected in the advanced technical specifications of his new yacht. While Feadship never reveals owners' identities, the continuity in name, designer, and design philosophy makes the link compelling.
Cutting-Edge Hybrid Innovation
The new Faith showcases some of Feadship’s most cutting-edge sustainability innovations. Like her sibling, the 84.2-metre motor yacht Obsidian , she features a diesel-electric propulsion system with contra-rotating steerable thrusters. This eliminates the need for traditional drive shafts and rudders, reducing drag and boosting hydrodynamic efficiency.
Notably, Faith 's hybrid system includes an electrical storage capacity over four times greater than that of Feadship’s pioneering hybrid yacht, Savannah . This level of storage allows for silent cruising and enhanced operational flexibility, placing Faith among the most technically sophisticated yachts of her class.
Distinctive Design and Specifications
Designed by the British studio RWD, with naval architecture by Feadship’s in-house De Voogt team, Faith features a sleek, narrow profile optimized for navigation through the Dutch canal system. She sports a 13.57-metre beam, a draught of 3.6 metres, and an internal volume of around 2,450 GT.
Her exterior lines follow a contemporary Feadship design language, marked by a subtle clipper bow and expansive deck spaces. A classic blue and white hull echoes the styling of the 76-metre superyacht One , another recent launch from the Dutch yard.
What Comes Next
With sea trials completed and performance benchmarks exceeded, Faith now enters her final outfitting phase ahead of delivery, which is scheduled before the summer yachting season. As she joins the global fleet of modern hybrid yachts redefining sustainable luxury on the water, all eyes will be on her upcoming voyages — and whether she might make an appearance at future yacht shows.
A Big Year for Feadship Deliveries
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch intelligence data, Faith is just one of several major Feadship deliveries expected in 2025. At the top of the list is the new superyacht Moonrise, a 101-metre flagship that will represent the largest known launch of the year from the Dutch yard. Close behind is Feadship 824, another 100-metre-class yacht, underscoring the yard’s continued focus on high-volume builds.
Other noteworthy launches include Feadship 715 (79.5 metres), which is of similar scale to Faith, and superyacht One, a 75.75-metre superyacht that shares a similar design language and is currently listed for sale. Rounding out the known deliveries is Feadship 827, a 71.76-metre vessel built for up to 14 guests. Altogether, these launches confirm 2025 as a banner year for Feadship, marked by both technical innovation and aesthetic refinement.
