Superyacht Savannah is back in the spotlight, but this time not just for her beauty, rather for the precision required to film aboard her. For Netflix’s The Woman in Cabin 10, the entire production unfolded on the 274-foot Feadship masterpiece, where every step had to honor the vessel’s perfection. From removing shoes to banning tripods and stands, the 70 film crew, 20 cast members, and 25 yacht crew worked under strict rules to ensure nothing on the $140 million yacht was scratched or stained. Director Simon Stone described the experience as the “inverse of luxury,” where no eating, drinking, or resting on furniture was allowed. Even the no-shoes policy was woven into the film to make it as authentic to yacht living as possible.
After being sold to a new owner earlier this year with a whopping $31 million discount, the Feadship beauty found herself in the limelight once again, this time as a cinematic star. The film features Pirates of the Caribbean alum Keira Knightley, who boards the lavish yacht as a journalist on assignment.
The story takes a chilling turn when she witnesses a passenger go overboard, sending her into a crisis aboard the magnificent vessel. While that may sound like a grim ordeal for anyone, in reality, this $1 million-a-week floating palace is a sanctuary of extravagance.
Beautifully designed and even more beautifully shot, the ship once belonged to the late Canadian oil billionaire Lukas Lundin. The new owner took possession of the 3,205 GT motor yacht in May this year and, needless to say, put her to headline-grabbing use. Built in 2015, Savannah takes pride in being Feadship’s first-ever hybrid yacht. The movie highlights her impressive four decks and awe-inspiring interiors, designed by the renowned CG Design.
As is the case with most opulent superyachts, her care was paramount. This meant all those on board weren’t allowed to touch the walls, carpets, or furniture and couldn’t sit or eat in most areas. One can’t really blame the owners; it’s an unspoken nautical norm to keep the extravagant materials unscathed and scratch-free. Savannah is one of the most tranquil oases for guests, featuring six lavish staterooms that accommodate up to twelve guests. Charter guests enjoy the yacht’s 30-foot-long swimming pool, spacious sundeck with a DJ booth and barbecue, and a private beach club right at the water’s edge.Let’s explore what makes Savannah so special.
Savannah is a sanctuary where preservation is the price of perfection-
From a peerless use of glass to boutique-hotel standards that do not forgive scuffs, Savannah’s dark rosewood floors, statement spiral staircase linking the decks, high-gloss metallic finishes, polished columns, and silk-soft furnishings make her a floating masterpiece. Sounds like a modern palace at sea, right? It indeed is. CG Design rendered the yacht with world-class craftsmanship and the finest materials to bring their vision to life, while Metis Lighting engineered custom LED strips, curved bulkheads, and video walls.
Rich in detail and design, the vessel offers six stately guest cabins, a Nemo underwater lounge, a spa with hammam, a secret room to enjoy the sea in solitude, and a master suite sheathed in glass. Beyond beauty, there’s brilliance in performance. Savannah features an innovative hybrid propulsion system paired with a battery bank of over one megawatt, while her efficient hull design delivers fuel savings of 30 percent compared to traditional yachts in her class. It’s no surprise that this floating paradise, which won Motor Yacht of the Year at the 2015 World Superyacht Awards, has now become a cinematic star in her own right, an icon of perfection, preservation, and the kind of beauty that can only exist under absolute discipline.
