Feadship has announced the launch of the fully custom 42.5m/139.5ft motor yacht CALLISTO in early April at its facilities in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands.
She is the second yacht named CALLISTO for her Owners, the first also being a Feadship-constructed motor yacht, measuring 65.2m/213.11ft, built in 2006 and last refitted in 2021. She was the first superyacht to have an advanced rudder-roll system installed.
This smaller CALLISTO has been custom-designed to fit her berth in the Mediterranean, and before the design process began the Owners stipulated a top speed of more than 20. Her naval architecture from De Voogt Naval Architects and aluminium hull and superstructure has created an excellent performance at high speeds, reducing pitch and lowering resistance. The twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines CALLISTO have been installed with both produce 1,939 kW @ 2,450 rpm to create a top speed of 21 knots, a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a range of 3,000 nautical miles at an economical 11 knots, matching the Owner’s requirements.
The exterior styling is also by De Voogt, who has given her an athletic appearance. Within, the interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design match the spirit of summer in the Mediterranean with light and refined colour scheme with an emphasis on space.
Overnight, M/Y CALLISTO accommodated up to 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and 2 twin cabins.
The crew accommodation sleeps up to 8 over 5 cabins, consisting of 3 twin cabins and 1 single cabin on the lower deck, and the Captain’s cabin on the bridge deck.
