Feadship's longest superyacht to date, the 118-metre Launchpad, has been sighted in Gibraltar on her maiden voyage.

This follows her delivery two weeks ago, with her AIS indicating she is bound for Saint Maarten.

The yacht’s midnight blue exterior comes from Espen Øino, whilst interiors have been headed up by French studio Zuretti. Images indicate the yacht has a main deck swimming pool and a large helipad with a hangar on the upper deck. The project also appears to have a unique pod-style skylounge encased by curved glass.

Further details about Launchpad's amenities and design have remained tightly under wraps. Prior to delivery, she was transmitting on AIS as Katyusha.

The vessel marks a significant milestone for the Dutch shipyard as its longest launch to date, superseding the 110-metre Anna, which launched in 2018. However, Launchpad will not hold the crown for long, as Feadship currently has a 119-metre yacht in build called Project 821.

According to BOATPro, there are only two Dutch-built yachts larger than Launchpad and 821; Amels' brand new 120-metre full custom project under construction and Jeff Bezos' 127-metre Koru.
