The 62.2-metre Feadship motor yacht Virginian has completed an extensive refit at the Atlantic Refit Center in La Rochelle, France.

Virginian arrived at Atlantic Refit Center in November 2023 and concluded works last week. She is now waiting for good weather conditions, after which she will depart for a summer cruising season in the Mediterranean.

Delivered in 1990, Virginian‘s classic exterior lines were penned by Studio De Voogt. She was the first Feadship to have four full decks, and her hydraulic transom hatch, concealed tender storage and separate captain’s lounge are features that were considered ahead of her time.

The superyacht has had a number of exterior and interior refits over the years, including in 1999 and 2008. Her most recent works involved the complete removal of anti fouler, as a prerequisite to Virginian’s new hull paintjob; the interior renewal of the bridge deck and the crew area, including electrical works and carpentry; the completion of the two main engines’ 20-year survey, alongside other technical upgrades.

Accommodation is for 12 guests across six cabins and 18 crew, with onboard highlights that include a library with an open fireplace, a Jacuzzi and an observation lounge.

The refit yard also recently welcomed the 42-metre Vitters sailing yacht Sharlou.
