en.Wedoany.com Reported - Feadship has completed a 14-month extensive refit of the superyacht Halcyon, which was launched in 2001. After arriving at Kaag, Netherlands in May 2025, the yacht was initially scheduled for routine upgrades, but the engineering team discovered that a more comprehensive overhaul was needed to bring its systems, connectivity, comfort, and operational efficiency up to current standards while preserving the original build heritage. Ultimately, Halcyon underwent a substantial reconstruction from the inside out.
The most visible change comes from the stern design: a new staircase connecting the main deck to the swim platform has been added, the hull and superstructure feature new exterior finishes, and the mast has been modified. The bridge has been fully modernized with new equipment and interior upgrades. The entire electrical system has been inspected and upgraded, with new alarm, monitoring, and power management systems installed. The climate control infrastructure has been completely replaced, including chillers, air handling units, and fan coil units. Guest cabins and crew areas have been refurbished, with interior updates, marble restoration, new blinds, and full interior renewal completed throughout the yacht.
The engine room and technical areas have undergone a near-complete overhaul: main engines and gearboxes have been overhauled, two new generators installed, and water production, ventilation, new tankage, sewage treatment, heating, freshwater distribution, and fuel management systems have all been updated, with associated piping, cabling, and support infrastructure replaced throughout the yacht. Other work includes: new teak decking on most exterior decks, steering system overhaul, inspection of propeller shafts, bow thrusters, and rudders, refrigeration system updates, diving equipment upgrades, repainting of tankage and technical areas, and a full renewal of the underwater hull coating system after sandblasting.
"When Halcyon arrived, we anticipated a major refit," said Captain Joe Gallegos. "As the project progressed, it became clear we had the opportunity to do more. With the involvement of a knowledgeable and passionate owner, everything came together. What started as a renovation became closer to a modified new build. The result is a classic Feadship, refreshed and ready for many years of successful cruising." After leaving the build hall, Halcyon will undergo final commissioning, with redelivery planned for July 2026.
