Feadship is founded by two families, De Vries and Royal Van Lent, and has three shipyards in Aalsmeer, Makkum and Kaag and one design and engineering center, De Voogt Naval Architects.

After World War II the market for the previously successful industry was left in ruins. Even after four years of peace, there remained little money or inclination in Europe for ordering pleasure yachts. Encouraged by the Dutch government's export incentives, Royal Van Lent Shipyard, De Vries Scheepsbouw and four other yards decided to set out their stall for the thriving American market.

The man behind this move was naval architect Henri de Voogt. The name Feadship - the First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders - was considered to be an innovation. It made the fledgling group sound like it was Dutch shipbuilding, an important distinction in a market where image was crucial. Yet recognition of the very real skills on offer was not long in coming. The New York Boat Show of 1951, for which several yachts were packed up and shipped across the Atlantic, proved a breakthrough. The Americans were amazed at Feadship's use of steel - an almost unheard of phenomena at this time stateside, a specialty in the Netherlands since the 1930's.

Orders began to flow for yachts in both steel and aluminum; by the mid 1950's, Feadship stopped building in wood altogether. This move led to the first decrease in group membership, although it was only in 1966 that a convergence of factors was to finally leave the big three piloting the Feadship course together.

The 60's as a whole witnessed steady growth - both in the organization's reputation and the size of the vessels it built. 85-90 ft, 100-110ft, 120ft with fully-raised wheelhouses, trans-Atlantic capabilities; various milestones in construction history were reached and surpassed. By the early 70's however, Feadship's popularity had greatly increased, with several yachts being launched each year (see list below).

As the American economy boomed, Henry Ford and Malcolm Forbes were but two of a host of famous folk to take advantage of Feadship's almost unique offer - to design and build a completely custom-built yacht, one with proven performance to match.

In 1977, a separate entity was established in the US in place of the customary representative agent. Don Kenniston was Feadship America's first general manager, a position he still holds today. His early tenure coincided with an enormous increase in trans-Atlantic sailing, a period which confirmed Feadship's rise to global prominence. Asked what sort of yacht they owned, "a Feadship" was now the reply: Slowly and subtly, the name had become a corporate identity in its own right.

The 1984 decision to open an office in Antibes and work together on a worldwide basis was suitable recognition of decades of cooperation. Feadship has gone through a time of continuous, market-driven progress. Ever-more specialized facilities - including two vast dry docks - support a group philosophy of constantly raising quality standards. Offices abroad back up an after-sales service network. A root and branch efficiency drive in the early 1990's produced streamlined management procedures.

With over 200 Feadships gracing the world's oceans, a commitment to supplying total reliability has clearly paid off. On average five major craft are launched annually, and Feadship is acknowledged as global leader in the construction of premium quality displacement motoryachts.

AB Yachts

Fipa Group, builder of AB Yachts and Maiora Yachts, was founded in 1981 by Francesco Guidetti and his wife Mirna Santucci on a property handed down over time from the Gudetti family. In 1985, Fipa purchased the Mairoa brand of yachts, founded at the start of the 1970s. Mairoa’s yachts were well known to Fipa due to a collaboration dating back many years. In 1989, FIPA expanded its original Massarosa facilities to the Viareggio harbor when they purchased the historic Intermare Naval Shipyard, allowing them to increase the size of Maiora yachts up to 105'.

In 2001 more facilities were developed in Massa, North of Viareggio, where FIPA now produces motor yachts between 96' and 150'. This new line of unique, open-style sport cruisers is AB Yachts, a worldwide leader of large jet yachts, with a line ranging between 55' and 140'. AB Yachts produces “open” style boats ranging from 56’ to 140’. This choice to venture into the open boat sector was not by chance. Fipa’s policy of specialization with youthful, dynamic and sporting lines, where speed and technology are key factors, is an important factor in setting them apart from the competition. In 2007, AB launched their largest high speed, open yacht to date; the AB-140 with was met with great enthusiasm by the world’s yachting press and elevated the AB Yachts name into the new millennium. Today, the Fipa Group one of the most active yards in the Viareggio area, producing over 30 yachts per year and recovering or servicing boats up to 150'.

FAIRLINE BOATS

Fairline Boats Ltd are a English motor yacht builder, currently owned by 3i. Started in 1963 by Jack Newington, the company presently builds motor yachts in both its original Oundle base as well as Corby, Northamptonshire

Fairline Squadron Yachts outside Fairline's Ipswich testing facility
The company started when Newington bought a series of gravel pits on the River Nene, and build the Oundle Marina. In 1967 he launched the first Fairline boat, a 19foot handcrafted glass-reinforced plastic river cruiser.[2] When Newington's son Sam, a former Royal Air Force pilot and Columbia University MBA graduate, took over in 1971, the company employed 14 people. Sam expanded the companies sales network overseas to take advantage of the expanding Mediterranean market place - by 1979 the company employed 140 people and tuned over £5million, with production expanded by the success of 1977's Fairline 40 model.
With expansion fueled by the Margaret Thatcher led 1980s, the company expanded quickly developing lines of high speed cruising yachts. When Sam retired in 1996, CEO Derek Carter expanded the company further by establishing Fairline Boats of North America Inc., creating a network of 35 dealers.
In 2002 the 10,000th Fairline was completed, together with new production facilities at the original Oundle site. The Fairline Owners Club was founded in 2003, and in 2006 company was purchased by its existing management, funded by 3i. In Sept 2008 Fairline embarked on a redundancy programme shedding 95 jobs in Dec 08 and a further 250+ jobs in March 09.

SEALINE

Brunswick Corporation of Chicago, the world's leading manufacturer of pleasure boats, paid $68 million for Sealine International, a privately held British boat maker. Brunswick, which also makes bowling alleys and pool tables, plans to use Sealine as a launch pad into Europe, the world's ...In the week of my visit, the range of tide at St. Helier, the principal port on the pretty island of Jersey, was about 24 feet. An unsettling moonscape of jagged rocks would appear slowly, twice a day, as the water receded—and then just as slowly disappear again as the tide came in. For boat owners unused to displays of nature’s worryingly sadistic tendencies, such tides concentrate the mind wonderfully, especially as the rocks in question look particularly hard and unforgiving.Locals took pride in reminding me that this, of course, was nothing—mere neaps. At spring tide, they pointed out with an evil glint in their eye, you could add another six feet to what I was seeing, and on the really big tides in spring and autumn, the range routinely spans 35 feet or more.All of which makes you wonder. Jersey, in the UK’s Channel Islands off the north coast of France, is one of Britain’s most popular boating centers. Thousands of local boats ply these waters, and each summer they are joined by thousands more from England’s south coast, about 90 miles to the north, and from France, just over the horizon. These boaters are either particularly skillful or extremely lucky, but they make it look easy.Ironically, this made Jersey an appropriate place for Sealine to launch its new T60 motoryacht. For this is a boat whose designers have burned the midnight oil coming up with features intended to make the business of cruising easier. There are the usual Sealine features, of course, like the easily stowed bimini top and cockpit canopies, the nifty little knobs that control the blinds in the saloon, the hydraulically activated swim platform that allows a tender to be simply floated on and off its chocks, and, of course, the electrically extending cockpit, where the whole transom slides aft to provide extra space for entertaining.But then there are the other features—loads of them. Take the engine controls. Twin Disc’s off-the-shelf Power Commander allows the helmsman to select a variety of electronic options: “troll,” which governs shaft speed down to as low as 50 rpm for very precise close-in maneuvering; the all-purpose “express,” which provides a low 130 rpm at the shaft at the first detent—equivalent to a five-to-one gearbox reduction—and then allows exceptionally smooth power take-up all the way to full throttle; and “cruise,” which is all most boats offer in the first place.Down inside, the designers have thought hard about the way people use cruising boats. Sealine always keeps families in mind, whether it’s in the company’s 24-footer (not exported to the United States) or this big, new flagship, and families usually bring with them a lot of gear and lots of people. The question is always where to put everything and everyone. So the T60’s third cabin, which would be great for kids, has three standard berths and a fourth if you want it with two berths down, one up, and a fold-down Pullman. In other words, the boat can sleep eight with no one camping in the saloon, and each cabin has its own en suite head.

Mangusta Yachts (Overmarine)

Mangusta Yachts by Overmarine produce very fast and stylish luxury open style performance motor yachts. Often seen in the French and Italian Rivieras, these luxury motor yachts are characterised by sleek length, open bridge style, powerful engine plants and superior speed. Mangusta comes under the larger umbrella of the French superyacht Rodriguez Group. The Overmarine shipyard actually handles the building of Mangusta yachts and this yard is based in Viareggio, Italy.

Mangustas have a length between 72 feet and 165 feet and they can reach speeds in excess of 50 knots, with a cruising speed of over 30. This is very fast for yachts as large as this and indeed very fast for a yacht of any type that is not made specifically for motor racing. The Mangusta open line features the work of designer Andrea Bacigalupo and both the Rodriguez Group and Overmarine are involved in the advanced technology, design, styling and state of the art construction.

The Mangusta 72 and 92 are superb motor yachts in their class and they offer amazing speed and style. The 108 Mangusta yacht was the largest production series sport cruiser available at one time however the 135 and 165 foot (pictured above) have now taken over. The complete Mangusta range includes the 72, 80 hard top, 105, 108, 130, 148 Oceano and the 165’ flagship.

The Mangusta 165’ is set to become an important yardstick in the yachting world and in the words of the chairman of the Rodriguez Group, Gérard Rodriguez: “The Mangusta 165’ is an exceptional yacht which holds several world records, including that of the largest Open series yacht in the world.”

Often seen in St Tropez, France and Porto Cervo, Sardinia and other glamorous hotspots, Mangusta are very popular day yachts and inshore charter yachts along the French and Italian Mediterranean coast. Now with their larger size they are becoming much more than simply day yachts.

FERRETTI

Last October The Ferretti Group’s display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show was a thriving affair. A maze of slips flaunted the broad, stylish spectrum of the corporation’s holdings—retro runabouts, advanced express cruisers, decked-out sportfishermen, and beguiling motoryachts. Every vessel had a pretty face stationed on the stern, and the tented areas swarmed with an army of bright young things eager to sing the fleet’s praises in Italian-accented superlatives. What’s more, on one side of the exhibit there was a cafe where you could get an espresso “corrected,” as they say in San Giovanni, with a splash of grappa.It was amid this glitzy hubbub that I met with Andrea Frabetti, head of nautical engineering for the group. The subject of our tete-a-tete was Ferretti’s new 76, unveiled last fall at another suitably glamorous yachting hub, Cannes. But although it was impossible to discuss the yacht without touching on her comely looks, the core of our discourse was devoted to technical matters: We examined the 76 from an engineer’s point of view.On this yacht Ferretti has made significant modifications to a hull form already proven to perform well on existing models in the builder’s line. Ferretti’s fundamental goal regarding the hull has always been to combine performance standards such as speed, range, and economy with a ride that is smooth, quiet, and graceful. The first half of this equation is not hard to determine during the design stage through tried and true calculations and tank-testing. But effective means of predicting the latter have only recently been developed. Using Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to foresee how the pressure of the water would be distributed over the hull’s surfaces, Ferretti engineers were able to fine-tune the 76’s design to enhance the ride.The shape of the wake a hull creates is important for onboard comfort. A wake that runs too close can make for a wet ride and can create noise that carries through the vessel. With CFD simulations Ferretti can identify specific forms on a hull that aren’t distributing water properly and change them. “We modify the design of the hull in order to model the wake, to give the wake the right shape,” says Frabetti. Thus, for the well-being of its clients, the Italian builder sculpts the sea.In addition to an optimum hull form, Ferretti engineers have developed other design standards that contribute to the right balance of speed, range, and comfort on the 76. Engine installation and engine room and systems layouts have been especially well devised.Coupling the 76’s twin 1,300-hp MAN D2842-LE 404s to V-drives allows Ferretti to locate the engine room farther aft. In addition to increasing below-decks living space, this contributes to noise control. Because bearings that keep propeller thrust from the engines are integral to the V-drives’ design, Ferretti can set the MANs on soft, vibration-isolating mounts that greatly reduce structure-borne noise. Placing the fuel tanks athwartships just forward of the engine room further insulates living areas from sound. And since the tanks rest at the hull’s center of gravity, trim is less affected by varying fuel levels, and the consistency of the yacht’s performance underway is enhanced. Frabetti says the MAN diesels deliver a 27-knot cruise and bring the yacht to a maximum speed of 30 knots. A 1,585-gallon fuel capacity is said to provide a cruising range of more than 400 NM.The 76’s technical layout also considers quality of life at rest. All pumps, air-conditioning handlers, and other auxiliary equipment have been organized well aft, just below the transom. With the boat on anchor or at the marina, their operation should register as little more than a murmur.

Bank Repossessions

If you want to purchase a motor yacht that is far beyond your budget then there is no need to fret and disappoint your wishes. There are many financial institutions such as the banks and the private lenders of money that can help you out of the problem. You can avail the required sum of money as loan and can thus fulfill your desire to possess your dream home.

Once you have availed the loan and purchased and furnished your motor yacht, it is very important that you keep your dues clear, i.e., you keep paying the monthly installments of the loan you received from the bank. If you fail to make your due payments then you can dread bank repossessions of your dream motor yacht.

As the name is very much indicative of the meaning, bank repossessions happen if you are unable to make your monthly installments of the capital you were loaned successfully or fail to repay a number of consecutive payments. In such a case, the bank has the right of repossession of the property you purchased from the money bank loaned you with.

Before the actual happening of the bank boat repos the bank notifies you of the same and gives you a specified time-period to arrange for the money that is due and thus make your supposed payments. If you are still unsuccessful in making the payments, then the bank is left with no choice but to proceed with their bank repossessions.
Bank repossessions can be very well avoided and handled if you keep your calm and wits intact. That is, when you receive the notice for bank repossessions you must never panic but should act wisely and as early as possible. First and foremost, you should contact the bank and inform them of the current state of your finances and avoid your boat from becoming a repo boat.

You can negotiate with them and either ask them to reduce the minimum sum of money that you need to pay in order to keep your BOAT or to increase the time-limit they have given you for the purpose of bank repossession. If you can get the time-period increased, your bank repossession will be delayed and therefore you will get some more time to think over the matter and how you need to tackle it.

If you want to avoid a REPOSSESSED BOAT all together, then it is always better to keep in active communication with the bank and keep them updated about your fiscal status. If ever you feel that the payments are a little tough to handle, you can ask the bank to reduce the amount of your monthly installments so that you can successfully manage to repay them. This will also save you from the embarrassing situation of bank repossessions

REPOSSESSED BOATS

Finding repossessed boats for sale can be one of the most profitable things you can do to find the top fishing boats without spending a fortune. The majority of people try and avoid repossessed items, simply because they think of low quality, but the reality is that an item that is being repossessed says nothing about it's overall quality.

It's simply being done because the owner couldn't pay their bills, whether they be a loan or mortgage, and the bank or bankruptcy court then takes the item to sell it and therefore use that money to pay off their creditors. Obviously, the bank doesn't want to keep boats, cars, and other items it often is forced to liquidate.

This is why there is so much opportunity for people shopping for these boats, because since these institutions are in such a hurry to sell them, you can often times find dirt cheap prices, and save a bundle versus even buying a used one from a private owner. If you want the biggest savings possible, you will look into repossessed boats for sale, as no other way offers you these savings opportunities.

The reality is, however, they can be hard to find. There are websites that sell repossessed boats, but you usually need to pay a monthly fee in order to see the boats for sale, something most people are not willing to do. However, if you pay this, you can expect to get big savings, so keep this in mind.

If you are serious about finding repossessed boats, I'd recommend you join one of these sites versus going to your local bank auction, because even though the local auctions are free, you don't get nearly the selection you would online. The reason is that the boats they show are nationwide, and therefore your range of choices is virtually unlimited.

Make sure, however, before you pay anybody a monthly fee to access their listings, you know about the company doing so. Many companies online in this industry have developed a reputation as scamming customers and not giving them any return for their money, so make sure you read reviews of them on the internet if you are even thinking about paying them money.

Many sites will review them, and often times, people who've paid them themselves will tell you their experiences so that you can know what to expect, and in this way you can find the best sites and avoid the duds.

Make sure you also know how the pricing is agreed upon, whether it be an auction or buy it now or best offer format. If you aren't comfortable with auctions, I'd recommend you avoid these sites, but the reality is, you can save the most amount of money with auctions, when you know what you're doing.

They do take some time to master, admittedly, but if you can perfect your auction buying skills, you can really save a bundle when buying your next boat, car, or anything else. Repossessed boats for sale should certainly be at the top of your list when shopping for a new car, and if you haven't at least looked at these listings, I'd highly recommend it.

There are many ways to fulfilling your dream of owning a powerboat. Not every one can buy a new boat outright and few people can even afford to have a powerboat financed by a bank or financial institution, simply because the risks are many and guarantees too few.

“Boating was traditionally the pastime of the well-off, but the long housing boom and its gusher of easy credit changed that. People refinanced their homes and used the cash for down payments on a cruiser, miniyacht or sailboat. From 2000 to 2006, retail sales for the recreational boating industry rose by more than 40 percent, to $39.5 billion, while the average loan amount more than tripled to $141,000.
Last year, as real estate faltered, the gears went into reverse. The number of boats sold fell 8 percent. Many boats are fuel hogs, and rising gasoline and diesel prices meant a weekend jaunt could cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Owners found they could not sell a boat for what they owed and could not refinance either.
The solution for some is simply to stop paying on Jersey Dreamin’ or Just Do It or Bally Hoo. Then one day they come home and it is gone.
Repossessedmotoryachts, has a team of mature professionals with many years in the business. The business usually slacks off in the spring as the boating season begins and delinquent owners try to fend off the bank long enough to have some fun.
Not this year. repossessedmotoryachts, is repossessing nearly a boat a week, most from the Mediterranean area but a few farther afield.

Nevertheless, the custom is to get in and get out before the owners, neighbors or authorities notice anything amiss

NY Times: "Times Are Tough, Except in the Repo Biz"

Just between you and I, you know, being a Repo Man is not something I'd want to do. Whilst there'd definitely be something soul-satisfying about repossessing a yacht named "Bally Hoo," the threat of violence and/or gunfire from Downtrodden Dave and Misunderstood Mary as I absconded with their stuff — the bank's collateral — well, it just doesn't suit my personality.

The guys who do this gig — and I've run into a few of 'em over the years — are a different breed. They tend to be burly, determined, and gruff. And they wear ill-fitting Grateful Dead t-shirts.

Truly, I dig this. We hear about this uber-consumer, a guy by the name of Robert Dahmen, whose silly spending contributed mightily to the Bush Economy. "He is one of the millions of reasons the consumer-powered American economy did so well for most of this decade," we're told, "and one of the reasons its prospects look so bleak now."

For the first time we have seen jet drives applied to High performance craft with small dimanesions.

The introduction of aérospatial deriving structurals, for which vibrations and expansion are not allowed, is one of the most consistent innovation, making the total élimination of vibrations transmitting and fatigue cracking screws and joints really possible.

AB Yachts choosed water jet propulsion : the best for those boats needing both excellent performances and a sea life style based on comfort and safety.
