About OCTOPUS

OCTOPUS is a 48.20m (158') Feadship motor yacht offering an exceptional charter experience that combines Dutch pedigree craftsmanship with the warmth and comfort of a private home at sea. Built by Feadship De Vries with exterior styling by Guido de Groot and interiors by John Munford, she has been continually upgraded and refined, most recently through comprehensive refits in 2022 and 2024 that have left her in pristine, turnkey condition.

OCTOPUS accommodates 12 guests in five luxurious staterooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, individual climate control, entertainment systems, and personal safes. The full-beam master suite on the main deck features a king bed, private office, and a stunning ensuite with steam shower and Jacuzzi tub with skylight. Two queen staterooms offer ensuite bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, while two twin staterooms each include a Pullman berth, making them ideal for families or groups traveling with children.

With four decks of expansive living space, guests are never short of places to relax, dine, or entertain. The main salon opens onto a formal dining area seating 12, while the sky lounge offers a more casual atmosphere with a custom bar, large screen TV, and Kaleidescape media system. The covered bridge deck aft provides the yacht's signature al fresco dining experience for up to 12 guests, sheltered from sun, rain, and wind. The sundeck is the crown jewel, featuring a 10-person Jacuzzi, sun pads, comfortable seating, an enclosed air-conditioned gym, and a BBQ station where the chef can prepare fresh dishes while guests take in the scenery.

OCTOPUS carries an experienced crew of up to 10 who deliver five-star service throughout every charter. A fully equipped professional galley with dumbwaiter service to the bridge deck ensures seamless dining, whether it's a formal dinner for 12 or a casual sundeck lunch.

For adventure on the water, OCTOPUS is equipped with a Novurania CAT 20 tender, a Novurania 430 DL, two Yamaha WaveRunners, two SeaBob F5SR underwater scooters, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a full dive setup with Bauer compressor. The large swim platform with shower provides easy access to the water and serves as the hub for all watersports activity.

With Quantum zero-speed stabilizers ensuring comfort at anchor, a range of nearly 6,000 nautical miles, and connectivity via dual Starlink satellite internet, OCTOPUS is perfectly suited for extended itineraries throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean, or beyond.

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which wil generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
