## General

Breakthrough is a 118.8-metre motor [yacht](/what-is-a-yacht/) built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in May 2025. Constructed at Feadship's yards in Aalsmeer and Kaag in the Netherlands, she is the largest yacht the shipyard has ever produced and, at the time of her launch, the biggest yacht ever completed in the Netherlands. She was built under yard number 821 and carries a gross tonnage of 7,247 GT across five decks above the waterline and two below. Naval architecture is by De Voogt Naval Architects, and both the exterior and interior design are by British studio RWD, also known as Redman Whiteley Dixon. Her hull is steel and her superstructure aluminium, with a teak deck. She is classed by Lloyd's Register.

Breakthrough is a multi-award-winning vessel, having accumulated seven industry awards between 2025 and 2026, including Motor Yacht of the Year and Displacement Motor Yacht of the Year at the 2026 World Superyacht Awards, as well as Best Interior Design and Best Naval Architecture at the 2026 Boat International Design and Innovation Awards.

### Propulsion and sustainability

Breakthrough is the world's first superyacht to integrate a fully operational hydrogen fuel cell system for hotel load. A cryogenic storage tank holds 92 cubic metres of liquid hydrogen, enabling zero-emission cruising at up to 10 knots and allowing the yacht to remain emission-free at anchor for up to a week at a time. For longer passages, three MTU generators are fitted with the capability to burn methanol and hydrotreated vegetable oil as lower-carbon alternatives to conventional marine fuel. The hybrid diesel-electric drivetrain is complemented by two 3,200 kW ABB pod drives, giving a top speed of 17 knots and a maximum range of approximately 6,500 nautical miles. Breakthrough is managed for charter exclusively through Edmiston.

## Accommodation & Crew
