Description
FELIX, the 70m/229' full displacement expedition yacht with an impressive range of 8,300nm, was originally built by the German yard Jadewerft now part of Lürssen Group.
The 2007 conversion was masterminded by a first-class design team including Gregory C. Marshall, Reymond Langton and Vripack. Last refurbished in 2017, FELIX is in immaculate condition.
The luxurious Zuretti interior is decorated in Norwegian birch burl paneling complemented by marble flooring. The beautifully designed main deck features a large salon connecting to a bar area which opens onto the 14-people cinema portside and the dining room for 16 guests forward. Yacht for sale FELIX provides accommodations for 14 guests in 7 staterooms.
The dedicated Owner’s Deck has a large forward-facing master suite with his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, an office, gym with sauna and a separate private salon. The exterior aft deck features automated golf driving. Five guest staterooms, including a full-beam VIP suite, are on the main deck with an additional twin stateroom on the lower deck.
Expansive exterior decks complement the elegant interior. The main deck aft serves as a reception area for guests arriving by tender. The three upper decks are fitted out with seating, sun pads and loose teak furniture. The sundeck features sun pads aft and forward, a whirlpool and a raised observation area.

Notes: FELIX, ex Amadeus, was originally built in 1969 as KOMET by Jadewerft, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as a North Sea survey vessel. She is believed to have been ice classed during that service period. Jadewerft is now a part of the Lürssen Group. She operated as KOMET until 1998 when she became One Eagle until 2004 and then Caravelle until her sale in 2006. She was then stripped back to her steel hull at Jade Yachts in Taiwan, the superstructure was restyled by Reymond Langton with Greg Marshall for the naval architecture and entirely faired. In 2007 she was taken first to Croatia, where many of her systems and some of her interior was installed under the supervision of Northern European engineers and project managers, and then to MB 92 in Barcelona where she was finished under the supervision of Feadship Van Lent. She was purchased by her current owner in 2015.
