Overview
About this vessel
Originally delivered by Feadship in 1990, EMERALD has undergone an extensive rebuild since being purchased by the current owners in 2021.
EMERALD was rebuilt to suit her European owners and their ambition to have a luxury home at sea. After arriving at Balk Shipyard in October 2021, EMERALD was extended to a total length of 50.4 metres. Together with British studio Design Unlimited, the owners redesigned the entire interior, opting for a modern and timeless theme.
The main-deck layout features a forward-facing master and neighbouring VIP suite, while four guest suites are situated on the lower deck. The main saloon is now an open-plan design with a small partition separating the lounge and dining area. The main-deck galley has been reconfigured and completely upgraded to commercial equipment.
The bridge deck saloon and bridge deck cockpit were extended. A single new crane replaces the two original cranes to manoeuvre the yacht's selection of toys in and out of the water. Once clear of equipment, this space serves as an outdoor lounge and leisure area.
The rebuilt and extended sundeck features a large spa bath forward, cosy seating area, sun beds and wet bar. On the lower deck, the space taken by the original VIP cabin now allows for a crew mess, laundry room, cold stores and an additional engineers cabin, with all crew cabins entirely refitted.
As part of the rebuild, the yacht's mast and superstructure archway were redesigned to suit the modernised superyacht. The yacht features new navigation systems, AV/IT communication systems, and zero-speed Quantum extendable stabilisation fins. The engines and generators, which were new in 2015, have been fully serviced. EMERALD received a new paint job in Orion Green for the hull and Aquila White for the superstructure.
EMERALD was a finalist at the 2024 Boat International World Superyacht Awards.
