Insider Monkey Score: 6

Feadship was founded in 1949 as a marketing collaboration between six Dutch shipyards with the goal of promoting superyachts to customers in the United States. The size of the boats delivered by Feadship increased as the company’s success developed in the United States and around the world throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Celebrity owners like magazine editor Malcolm Forbes, who commissioned the 46-meter superyacht Highlander, helped to boost Feadship’s profile and put it on the list of the best luxury yacht builders and shipyards in the world.
