The heart wants what it wants, but in the case of this mysterious billionaire, the heart knows exactly what it doesn’t want, and it’s called superyacht One. This stunning Feadship was commissioned a few years ago, but by 2023, the owner clearly had second thoughts. Not only did he decide not to take it home, he’s now trying to flip it for a profit, without ever setting foot on it.
The 248-foot blue-hulled beauty may have the pedigree, the silhouette, and the specs to make any yacht aficionado weak in the knees, but she couldn’t win him over. Once listed for $183 million, One is now asking $195 million, and she’s being marketed by Edmiston. Despite the owner’s cold feet, everything else has gone exactly as planned. The design is a clean, confident statement by Studio De Voogt, with effortlessly stylish interiors by Gilles & Boissier. She completed sea trials in 2024 and was all set for delivery in 2025.
All that’s missing is a suited-up owner ready to skip the waiting list and snag a brand-new Feadship, backed by a 75-year-old yard and an all-star team. If anyone’s fighting temptation right now, it’s probably Mark Zuckerberg, especially since he just bought his third yacht, the rugged $100 million U-81 by Damen. For others thinking Mediterranean summers and champagne sunsets, here’s a peek at the yacht that could make that fantasy real:
Superyacht One, truly one-of-a-kind
There’s just something about One. Maybe it’s the sleek silhouette, maybe it’s the striking blue hull, or maybe it’s just plain unfair that a yacht this gorgeous still doesn’t have an owner. With its futuristic lines that give off mini-launchpad energy, One sleeps 12 guests in six cabins. The owner gets an entire deck with a massive stateroom, private terrace, study, Jacuzzi, and ensuite. It’s a floating retreat for someone who wants to helicopter in, unplug, and drift off in total privacy.
The Owner’s lounge leads to an aft terrace made for cozy dinners under the stars. But if you’re looking to entertain, the main lounge delivers a beach-house vibe with open-plan elegance, herringbone teak (a first for Feadship), and sliding glass doors that dissolve the line between inside and out.
Step out to the large pool deck with bar seating, or head up to the bridge deck gym, where workouts come with ocean views. Down below, the beach club glows with natural light thanks to the glass-bottom pool overhead. Powered by twin MTU engines, One hits 15 knots and cruises up to 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. The tender garage is packed with a 9.5-meter limo tender and a solid lineup of toys.
She’s listed with Arjen van Elk for Feadship in collaboration with Edmiston. All One yacht needs now… is one lucky owner.
