PEGASUS

Feadship built her in 1995 as WHITE RABBIT at De Vries Shipyard (project 649), commissioned by a Singaporean owner who already had one Feadship and wanted a bigger one. She has since sailed as Flying Eagle, Princess Marla, and now PEGASUS. Four names, one pedigree. The 2009 refit, also at Feadship, added a 4-metre aft extension with beach club and extended sun deck, and won Best Refitted Yacht at the World Superyacht Awards.

Frits De Voogt drew the hull. Chester Jones designed the interiors. Twelve guests across six cabins: a master suite on the main deck, two VIP suites on the lower deck, and three twins with pullman berths (each twin sleeps three, useful for families). All en-suite. 630 square metres of interior space includes a main lounge, formal dining, and a full-beam bridge deck lounge.

Three jet skis, three SUPs, two wakeboards, four sets of adult waterskis, three sets of kids' waterskis, towable tube, snorkelling gear, and fishing equipment. Jacuzzi on deck, gym, barbecue. A crew of fifteen runs the operation from her year-round Athens base.

She cruises at 14 knots on twin Caterpillar diesels, tops out at 17, and carries a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 13 knots. Steel hull, aluminium superstructure, teak decks.

A Feadship with four names and a World Superyacht Award for her refit. Twenty-nine years in, she still turns heads in the Cyclades.
