What did Feadship unveil with Project 826?

Feadship’s Project 826 introduces a new kind of superyacht beach club

Feadship has unveiled a 262-foot megayacht called Project 826, also known as Thalassa, and it’s being pitched as a deliberate break from classic superyacht design.

The big design departure: a major beach club

The most notable element in the announcement is the vessel’s largest-ever beach club for the shipyard. That emphasis—turning the lower outdoor/sea-level social space into a headline feature—signals a shift in how ultra-luxury yachts are built for guest life onboard.

What else is known

Beyond the new scale and the beach-club focus, the feed doesn’t provide further specs such as layout details, propulsion, interiors, or engineering timelines. What’s clear is that Feadship is positioning the project as “bucking convention,” using its newest flagship-scale concept as proof.

Why it matters

For owners and charter guests, the beach club often determines how a yacht functions as a resort: it’s the zone for swimming, lounging, and gathering, and it directly affects the onboard experience from day to night.

In other words, Thalassa’s reveal matters less for a single cabin feature and more for the underlying priority: Feadship is building the yacht around an amplified, guest-facing outdoor social space rather than maintaining a more traditional superyacht hierarchy.
