A Closer Look at Feadship’s MQ2 Charter

The superyacht industry has dramatically grown over the past ten years, nearly doubling in number. It has been estimated that there are approximately 4,433 yachts actively operating with hundreds more in the construction process. Superyachts are designed and built for both, individuals for personal use as well as those used for commercial charter. They have also come a long way in design and technology. The superyachts of today are more innovated and luxurious than ever. Yacht builders have taken the industry to a new level with their level of skill and superior engineers. One superyacht that exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship is the Feadship MQ2 megayacht.

Who is Feadship?

Feadship prides themselves on being world leaders in the yachting industry with a fleet of world class yachts that cannot be duplicated.
