Ecstasea is a luxury yacht. The biggest Feadship built, she was sold by her original owner, the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, in June 2009 to an unknown American by yacht brokers Merle Wood.[1]
Design
Ordered by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, Ecstasea was built in 2004 as the largest Feadship built ever. The yacht was built in the famous shipyard of Royal Van Lent and has length of 85.95 metres (282.0 ft), and a beam of 11.50 metres (37.7 ft), resulting in a deadweight of 585 metric tons. The yacht is made of all steel, and is much closer to a luxury ship, than to a yacht.
Her exterior design was created by the teamwork of Terence Disdale and De Voogt Naval Architects, with Disdale also responsible for the yacht’s Asian style interior design. She has capacity for 12 passengers, who are divided into 6 separate rooms.
Engine
The yacht Ecstasea has four main MTU engines with a total power of 12,616 hp. This power was not enough for the builders of the yacht and they installed a General Electric LM2500 gas turbine on board, for a total power of 30,843 hp. This allows the yacht to reach a maximum speed of more than 30 knots. The maximum speed with only the diesel engines working is 25 knots. The cruising speed (diesel only) is 22 knots.
