The 1971 101-foot Feadship Passage represents a rare opportunity to own a classic Feadship that has benefited from a comprehensive, no-expense-spared refit. Built at the renowned De Vries shipyard and designed by De Voogt Naval Architects, it carries the unmistakable lines and pedigree that define the brand, elevated by the scale and quality of her recent transformation. It’s located in Los Sueños, Costa Rica, and offered by Galati Yacht Sales (contact the broker for current pricing).

Under current ownership, Passage was taken down to her core and completely refit in 2025 with a level of detail and oversight that is increasingly rare. Led by Bill Royster, a seasoned yachtsman with over 30,000 miles in command at sea, the project reflects both deep experience and a genuine passion for the water. His hands-on approach and attention to detail ensured the yacht’s classic Feadship lines were carefully preserved while incorporating meaningful modern advancements, resulting in a yacht that balances timeless design with enhanced comfort, performance, and long-term reliability.

Major work was completed across the vessel’s mechanical systems, structure, and interior spaces, including the full renewal of electrical, plumbing, hydraulics, and navigation systems. The engines have been rebuilt to zero hours and generators replaced, providing a dependable and refreshed machinery platform. The hull was fully inspected, sandblasted, and refinished, complemented by new teak decks and modern electronics throughout.

One of the most significant transformations took place aft, where the original sport-fishing cockpit was reimagined into an extended aft deck, dramatically increasing usable outdoor space. Beneath, a fully engineered, climate-controlled lazarette was created to house critical systems, including dual Seakeeper units, relocated air conditioning chillers, and a water maker.

This configuration is exceptionally rare for a yacht of this size and vintage. Passage retains the original factory fin stabilizers, now complemented by the addition of a Seakeeper 35 and Seakeeper 26 resulting in a highly refined stabilization setup. The dedicated, climate-controlled environment further supports long-term reliability and performance of these systems.

Inside, Passage reflects traditional craftsmanship, with rich satin cherry wood, melamine  tongue and groove overheads, teak and holly floors, and finely detailed high-gloss teak joinery creating a warm, balanced feel throughout. Expansive salon windows fill the space with natural light and uninterrupted water views, enhancing the main living area’s open, inviting flow.

Accommodations for eight guests, including a full-beam master and two spacious guest staterooms are complemented by separate crew quarters for up to four, allowing for privacy and a high level of service underway.

Beyond the yacht itself, Passage offers a unique ownership advantage. It comes with the rare opportunity to lease its current slip in Los Sueños Marina and is fully legal for charter, allowing owners to enjoy the yacht privately, place it into a charter program, or both from day one.

Where is Passage located? The vessel is currently lying in Los Sueños, Costa Rica.
