EMERALD — 50.4m Feadship for Charter in French Riviera
Charter destination
Flexible throughout SOF and Italy
About this yacht
EMERALD represents the perfect intersection of classic Feadship pedigree and contemporary luxury, offering discerning charterers an exceptionally well-appointed motor yacht with the refinement of a comprehensive 2023 refit. Originally built in 1990 by the legendary Dutch shipyard, this 50.4-metre vessel has been meticulously restored and reimagined to meet the expectations of today's most demanding clientele, emerging from her refit with a striking dark green hull, pearl-white superstructure, and a substantially enhanced guest experience.
The centrepiece of EMERALD's recent transformation is the extensive 16-month refit, which extended the yacht and created an impressive aft cockpit with an extended swim platform and additional companionway stairs—details that distinguish her from her original configuration. New teak decking has been installed throughout all exterior areas, creating a warm aesthetic that harmonizes beautifully with her refreshed colour scheme. The sun deck now features a jacuzzi for two alongside a comfortable seating area and wet bar, while the bridge deck showcases a generous outdoor entertaining space with a concealed crane for water toys and automatic sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect to the sky lounge.
Accommodation comprises six staterooms elegantly configured to sleep 12 guests—featuring one master suite, one VIP cabin, and four additional double cabins that provide flexibility for different party configurations. The refitted monochrome interior creates a serene, sophisticated atmosphere throughout. A professional crew of 11 ensures all aspects of your charter experience are handled with attentive service and expertise.
EMERALD charter itineraries span the Mediterranean's finest destinations, from the South of France to Italy's Amalfi Coast, as well as the Caribbean's most coveted anchorages. Whether you're seeking Mediterranean sophistication or tropical exploration, this Feadship yacht combines proven seaworthiness with an impressive collection of water toys and tenders, multiple entertainment spaces, comprehensive stabilisation systems, and modern connectivity throughout. EMERALD is available for weekly charter at EUR 210,000–240,000 per week, with flexible deployment positioning her wherever your preferred cruising grounds beckon.

What is included in the charter rate for EMERALD?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 11, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for EMERALD before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter EMERALD?+
EMERALD charters from €210,000 per week in low season and €240,000 in high season — a difference of about 14% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
