MAKKUM, Netherlands
The world of superyachts is on the cusp of a green revolution, and Dutch shipyard Feadship is leading the charge with its groundbreaking 2025 launch, the magnificent 90-meter motor yacht Breakthrough (formerly Project 821). This vessel is not just another addition to the global fleet; it represents a monumental leap forward in sustainable yachting technology.
Delivered to its visionary owner earlier this year, Breakthrough is the world’s first superyacht to feature a state-of-the-art hydrogen fuel cell system. This pioneering technology allows the yacht to generate clean, emission-free electricity for its hotel load and to cruise at slow speeds without burning a single drop of diesel. Combined with main engines capable of running on HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a biofuel that reduces carbon emissions by up to 90%, Breakthrough sets a new industry benchmark for environmental stewardship.
While its eco-credentials are revolutionary, the yacht makes no compromises on luxury. With a sleek, modern exterior and a voluminous interior penned by the world’s leading designers, it offers unparalleled comfort and amenities for its guests.
Breakthrough is a headliner in a stellar class of 2025 deliveries. Other highly anticipated launches include the formidable 107-meter explorer yacht Shackleton from Lürssen, designed for global adventures in the most remote corners of the planet, and Amels’ largest custom build to date, the 120-meter Project Tanzanite, which also features an advanced diesel-electric propulsion system.
This new fleet of giants showcases a clear and decisive shift in the industry: the future of yachting is not just about size and opulence, but about innovation, responsibility, and a profound respect for the oceans we cruise.
