The Netherlands: Feadship Unveils 77.70-metre Tango Yacht

This is the first image to be released of the 77.70-metre Feadship Tango. Launched at a strictly private ceremony at Royal Van Lent in April, the yacht has a very characteristic exterior styling, including a daring combination of a white hull with a metallic grey and blue superstructure.

Tango is a textbook example of the many facets involved in custom yacht building, as owners and yard teamed up with Eidsgaard Design, Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects and Edmiston & Company. In addition to her fascinating exterior profile, Tango also has a highly creative interior styling and layout with guest staterooms on the main deck and a sensational private owners’ deck. Despite her size, Tango’s four engines give her an impressive top speed of 22 knots.

Tango has a very characteristic exterior styling, showcasing a unique and contemporary combination of a white hull with a metallic grey and blue superstructure. Her muscular looks are combined with signature lines that bring additional elegance to the overall profile. Despite Tango’s significant size her four engines enable the yacht to reach a very impressive speed of 22 knots. The benefits of extensive model tests and CFD program development are very apparent in engineering such a performance.

It also has a creative and innovative interior style and layout. The accommodations for twelve guests are located on the main deck, while there is a private owners’ deck with its own aft seating area, full-beam stateroom and separate study. A contra-flow swimming pool, a massage/beauty saloon and a spacious sun deck with outdoor cinema are among the many other first class facilities. Tango also has space for 20 crew members.
