MIRAGE

MIRAGE is a 53-metre custom displacement motor yacht built by Feadship in 1979 and substantially refitted in 2015, with exterior design by De Voogt and interiors by Design Unlimited. She flies the British flag and carries 498 gross tonnes — her heritage spanning four decades under Feadship's de Voogt naval architecture, with the 2015 refit having refreshed both systems and accommodation to a contemporary specification. Feadship hulls of this era were built to standards that have held structural integrity well beyond most contemporaries.

She accommodates twelve guests across eight cabins, served by thirteen crew — a ratio of slightly better than one-to-one that delivers a notably personal standard of service. Her charter regions cover the western Mediterranean: the French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, and the Italian and French coasts more broadly. MIRAGE suits guests who appreciate the character and craftsmanship of a Feadship classic, maintained to current commercial standards. Those who prioritise modern interior aesthetics or high-speed passage-making may find her character a different proposition.

What distinguishes MIRAGE within the charter market is the combination of provenance, scale, and the depth of the 2015 refit. The De Voogt hull form is a displacement design optimised for sea-keeping and range — 3,500 nautical miles — rather than velocity, and stabilisers fitted both underway and at anchor make extended passages and overnight stays in open anchorages a comfortable proposition. The Design Unlimited interior brings contemporary sensibility to a classic Feadship structure.

The watersports offering is among the most comprehensive at her scale: two Yamaha VX jet skis, scuba diving equipment for six, three wakeboards, two Laser Olympic dinghies with race sails, kayaks, paddleboards, water-skis, towable inflatables across multiple configurations, a wake surfer, wakeskate, and a diving board from the boat deck. The onboard gym, deck jacuzzi, and a thirteen-person crew round out an experience that genuinely suits active, larger charter groups.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
