MUSASHI Yacht – Stellar $160M Superyacht

MUSASHI yacht is a $160 million superyacht.

MUSASHI Yacht

The MUSASHI yacht was built by Feadship, founded in 1949 with headquarters in The Netherlands. Feadship is not new to the game of building superyachts for the wealthy.

They have also been the engineers for superyachts, such as Bernard Arnault’s Symphony Yacht, Arrow superyacht (with a value of over $120 Million), and the well-known 94-meter Viva superyacht.

It is safe to say that the MUSASHI yacht, showed its brilliance and excellence in engineering luxury superyachts.

The $160,000,000 superyacht interior was designed by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, a company responsible for creating beautiful and unique interiors for superyachts across the globe.

It is worth noting that Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design is also responsible for developing the interiors of the Feadship F45  Harle .

Being a luxury superyacht designed for the super-wealthy, she does not lack outstanding amenities.

The MUSASHI yacht is equipped with a beauty room, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, a movie room, and even an elevator.

MUSASHI is fitted with air-conditioning throughout the yacht and integrated with stabilizers to keep the superyacht steady and safe for the guests.

With an incredible amount of workspace to work with and a team of highly respected interior designers working on the yacht, it’s safe to say that she can hold parties and provide people with a great experience while traveling on the high seas. 

The MUSASHI yacht can accommodate up to 18-20 guests and 24 crew members to attain the ship and guests’ needs.

With an approximate value of $160 Million, it is estimated that the annual running cost ranges between $10-$20 Million on top of maintenance and docking fees.

MUSASHI is an incredible behemoth of a yacht. With enough space and room to adventure almost endlessly, she has comfortable air-conditioned rooms for her guests and crew.

With luxuries such as a movie theatre, MUSASHI serves as a secondary floating home on the crystal blue waters of France.

MUSASHI Specifications

MUSASHI measures a length of  87.8m (288 ft) and her incredible hull was built using steel along with aluminum.

Powered by four very powerful propellers and its power coming from two 5,766hp MTU 20V4000 M93L diesel engines MUSASHI can reach a max speed of 21 knots with a cruising speed of 15 knots.

She has ample storage space for fuel with a  335,000 L fuel tank allowing her to travel up to 11 000 kilometers. She has an impressive weight of over 2463 tonnes.

Feadship unveils 88m ‘Musashi’ yacht

• Image tools
• Email image
• Previous Page

The Dutch yacht builder Feadship has launched 88m megayacht named ‘Musashi’, which is touted as the shipyard’s largest yacht.

‘Musashi’ is the second yacht to be launched in Feadship’s XL custom yacht series. The yacht’s steel hull was constructed by Feadship’s dedicated hull-building facility in Papendrecht, the Netherlands, and was delivered to Makkum for outfitting.

Feadship’s own De Voogt Naval Architects created Musashi’s naval architecture and exterior design. The unnamed billionaire who commissioned the yacht hired Sinot Yacht Design to handle the interiors.

Both the Exterior and Interior Design of Musashi was realised by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design.

Musashi’s quadruple MTU 16V 4000 M90 marine diesel engines provide a combined 14,600 hp.

Feadship is a co-operation between two shipyards: Royal van Lent and Royal De Vries, and maritime engineering company De Voogt Naval Architects.

Motor Yacht

Named after the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi, this 87.78-metre superyacht cuts the water like a katana thanks to her beautifully styled exterior - covered in glistening glass - designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and De Voogt Naval Architects, with De Voogt also completing her naval architecture. Combine this with stylish, Japanese-inspired interiors, also created by Sinot and it becomes clear how Musashi came to be one of the most memorable Feadships on the water.

Known as Project #1002 when she entered construction, Musashi emerged in 2011 with a feudally inspired identity and modern Japanese style. This art-deco approach gave Musashi a sense of serenity throughout, and the space on board - thanks to a beam of 13.90 metres - allowed designer and builder to create some incredible lifestyle elements.

Musashi set new standards for five deck-superyachts in terms of space, style and connectivity with the world around you. The key areas of Musashi feature windows designed in large format thanks to a reinforced web structure. This expansive use of glass if difficult to implement in a yacht; however her expert design and construction team have opened up the light to create a sense of unity between inside and out.

Depending on the desired atmosphere, the windows can create a perfect sense of harmony with the outside world, or be adapted to offer a more sheltered, intimate setting when greater privacy is preferred.

Her main deck provides space for guests in eight suites, while the two master staterooms are located on the upper deck and the bridge deck. The lower deck is free for technical spaces and crew (including  a spa and gym), while the top deck is devoted to making the most of time around spa pool and bar.

The balanced design of the various exterior spaces allows the owners, their family and their guests to choose whether they want to enjoy Musashi and her facilities together, or retire to one of the decks for more privacy.

“The way we design, is we design fully custom, fully unique yachts, we start with a blank piece of paper and we start asking the client how they use the boat, what they want to do on board, what kind of experience they have but we also want input on what kind of styling they like... It’s about getting to learn about the owner and how they want to use the boat.” - Ronno Schouten, Design Manager of De Voogt Naval Architects

Well it looks like that partnership Feadship has done it again. They have had a preliminary, but unofficial launch of their latest superyacht. This is of course nothing new to those in the know within the yachting community, because Feadship has been doing the same thing for more than sixty years. Feadship is comprised of the shipyards of Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw, Royal van Lent, and the Naval Architectural firm of De Voogt who joined forces in 1949. Since that time, Feadship has built some of the most well known motoryachts in history.

The newest and as was said unofficial launch by Feadship is that of the superyacht Musashi , the new flagship of Feadship family of yacht builders. However, the Musashi was not entirely built at either the De Vries Makkum shipyard, or the Royal van Dent shipyard, because the hull was manufactured at Feadships hull manufacturing facility at Paendrecht, Holland. However, the Makkum facility did indeed complete the construction of the superyacht Musashi and in the spirit of cooperation Sinot Yacht Design created the interior.

Sinot Yacht Design is another name who is well known in the yacht building and yacht design world as well. In the early 90’s founder, Sander Sinot finally opened his own design firm after working for the world famous design firm of Henry Dreyfuss. Sinot specializes in creating ultra modern designs for both the interior and exterior of luxury superyachts and they have built a stellar reputation within the industry and amongst yachting aficionado’s worldwide. Their design for the interior of the superyacht Musashi is certainly sure to be no exception.

The latest information on the XL 88 Musashi superyacht sounds very exceptional. The Musashi is 287.99 feet long and comprised with a full displacement steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. De Voogt of the Feadship group created both the Naval Architecture and the exterior design plus lines. The Musashi being an 88 meter ship is now the company’s largest build to date and the staff of the Makkum shipyard have been focused on completing the Musashi project with their usual dedication and professionalism that makes them some of the best ship builders world wide.

Some of the specs for the superyacht Musashi are quite nice and considering the size quite necessary. Four MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines, putting out a whopping 14,600 total horsepower, power the magnificent mega yacht. The propulsion unit is a four-screw system that can certainly do the job of propelling this Megayacht anywhere in the world. We also know that the Musashi is flagged in the Cayman Islands. Currently the status of the Musashi superyacht is still being outfitted. Unfortunately, we do not yet know the max speed, cruising speed, guest, or crew capacities.

Larry Ellison’s Yacht Musashi: Everything You Want To Know

American billionaire Larry Ellison was the co-founder of Oracle Corporation and is believed to have a net worth of nearly $114 billion. Ellison is no stranger to the yachting world and used to co-own a yacht with David Geffen for many years. There was a rumor he sold his stake to Geffen because he thought their 453 foot yacht the Rising Sun was just too big for him. That was back in 2010. Since that time, Ellison has gone on to purchase his own yacht

Design and Features of Larry Ellison’s Yacht

Ellison’s yacht is known as Musashi. It was built in 2011, just after he sold his previous yacht to David Geffen. It was built by the company Feadship with an exterior design by De Voogt naval architects and interior handled by Sinot Yacht Design.

The vessel has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. The decks are teak. The superyacht features at-anchor stabilizers to increase comfort. The on board water tanks store around 88,000 liters of fresh water.

What’s with Larry Ellison and Miyamoto Musashi?

Other yachts that Ellison has owned included the Ronin and the Katana. All four of these yachts have a noticeable theme in common and that is Japan with a strong leaning towards samurai culture. 

While Rising Sun is a reference to Japan itself, often called the Land of the Rising Sun, the other names are more samurai inspired. Ronin is the name of a masterless samurai while a katana is a type of sword that is often associated with the warriors. As for Musashi, that comes from a famous samurai warrior and Japanese swordsman named Miyamoto Musashi. It was said Musashi was a master swordsman and was undefeated in over 60 duels. 

This appreciation for Japanese culture also inspired some of the design elements of the yacht seen in the Sinot yacht architecture. That includes things like an overall minimalistic Japanese style, clean lines along the exterior to the materials and art found within which either reflect Japanese style or design esthetics.  One of the most notable pieces is a Hiroshi Senju painting.

Interior of Larry Ellison’s Yacht

The Musashi superyacht has been designed to accommodate up to 18 guests at a time, in addition to the crew who run the ship. That includes 10 guest suites, two of which are VIP cabins. Among the many features available for guests you can find

• a movie theater
• a swimming pool
• basketball court
• volleyball court
• beach and water toys

The 5 deck yacht can be accessed easily thanks to an elevator to take you where you need to go. Failing that, there’s a stainless steel and glass staircase that can take you through the structure. The design is a little unusual and where a tender garage would normally be kept on the lower decks is the gym and spa and then crew quarters as well as access to the inner workings of the ship are down below.

The Musashi also features a basketball court on board as well that can be converted for playing other sports like football and volleyball as a crane that can launch racing boats.

There is a tender garage, of course, but it’s located on the main deck as part of the giant beach club. You can also find a cinema on the main deck that converts to a lounge and then most of the guest cabins are on this level as well.

Heading to the upper deck, half of this entire space is reserved for the largest of the VIP suites. 

How Much Did Musashi Cost?

According to various reports, Musashi cost Ellison about $160 million. That doesn’t put it in the running to be the most expensive yacht in the world by any means, but it’s definitely an expensive superyacht.

The annual expense for running the yacht which includes everything from taxes and licenses, salary for the crew and fuel expenses is believed to run between $10 million and $20 million per year. That may seem like a lot but it’s pretty standard for a yacht of this size. This is part of the reason why many billionaire yacht owners will put their yacht up for charter during times when they are not using it. It’s much easier to cut those expenses when other people are paying them. 

That said, Ellison has not opted to make his yacht available for charter. At least not yet, anyway.

Speed and Propulsion

Musashi is powered by twin 5,766hp MTU 20V4000 M93L diesel engines.

• The yacht has a fuel capacity of 335,000 L (88,000 US gal).
• That means that Musashi has a maximum range of 6,000 nmi (11,000 km) at 12 knots (22 km/h).
• Cruising speed is 18 knots and a top speed of 21 knots.

The crew of the Musashi numbers around 24 and there are 10 crew cabins on board. This includes the crew needed to actually operate the vessel as well as additional crew members such as a chef and others who are able to see to the needs of the passengers for whatever they might require.

Musashi is a large yacht, though far from the largest yacht in the world.   It measures 288 feet in length, and has a beam of 45.6 feet. The draft is 13.5 feet and the gross tonnage of the megayacht is 2,463 tons. 

How Does The Musashi Yacht Compare to Other Luxury Yachts?

One of the most obvious comparisons you can make is between this luxury superyacht and Ellison’s previous yacht the Rising Sun , owned by David Geffen. The Rising Sun is 453 feet which is 165 feet longer than Musashi. The Rising Sun was also said to have a cost of around $200 million compared to the $160 million of Musashi. 

While $160 million is nothing to sneeze at, the current reigning title for most expensive yacht seems to belong to the Eclipse, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich which, after the initial purchase and various retrofits and upgrades, is said to have cost him $1.5 billion.

In terms of size, Musashi also falls short of the largest yacht in the world which is the massive Azzam. It measures in at 180 meters which is nearly 600 feet in length.

The Bottom Line

Larry Ellison was the founder of Oracle and is one of the top ten richest people in the world. He spent $160 million on his yacht Musashi, named after a historical samurai. Musashi measures in at 288 feet in length and can handle up to 18 guests on board. The yacht features a pool, spa, gym and other amenities and is very much inspired by Japanese design elements.
