When a term like super or mega is prefixed to a yacht, it means big size, bigger price and biggest carbon footprint. However, Netherland-based yacht maker, Feadship has dared to change the perception and created the world’s first hybrid mega-yacht. 
The world leader in pure custom-built superyachts has launched Savannah at the Feadship yard in Aalsmeer. The 83.50-meter (273 feet) Savannah is also honored as the first to be entirely metallic painted with the exception of the mast domes.
It is the first to feature an eco-friendly blend of single diesel engine, three gensets, one million Watts of Li-ion batteries, propeller, azimuting thruster and a streamlined hull shape, making it 30 percent more fuel efficient in relative comparison.
Inspired by the 2010 Feadship Future Concept Breathe, Savannah is also the first yacht in the world to be running with an azipull and a variable pitch propeller.
Sporting a Sea Foam metallic green exterior, Savannah spreads out with five stories that accommodate massive decks, a swimming pool and much more. In addition to the owner’s stateroom, there are four large guest suites and one VIP stateroom with a balcony.
The highlight of eco-friendly floating superstructure is an ‘underwater lounge’ at port side where guests can watch the fish outside or turn around and observe the fun and games in the nine-metre swimming pool. The room, which also converts into a cinema, is another first for a superyacht and features especially thick glass due to its position in the hull.
Although Savannah has hit the waters, the identity of the owner as well as the cost of creating the world’s first hybrid megayacht is kept under wraps.
