Delivered in 2013 by renowned yacht builder Feadship, Sea Owl is a testament to the exemplary capabilities of her visionary owners, her meticulous builder and her famed designer.  Winch Designs is responsible for the exceptional design of both the interior and exterior of the yacht.

Inspired by literature, Sea Owl offers a myriad of unique details that set her apart from all other yachts.  Her bookshelves are lined with prose that comes to life as you move through the yacht; handcrafted details accentuate her walls, while replicas of maps adorn ceilings.

The incredible Tree of Life, which wraps around the central staircase from top to bottom, is a custom, hand carved Brazilian Mahogany masterpiece with never-ending details to delight the eyes.  This creative interior decor even extends to the custom painted tromp l’oeil elevator accessing every deck of the yacht.  Each room is a distinct treat, which combines to represent one of the most highly customized and expensive Feadships ever built in the size range.

This Feadship’s spacious, full-beam main salon is both inviting and elegant, decorated in light, neutral colors and complete with a warm and welcoming fireplace.  With fully opening glass doors aft, and enormous windows on both sides, natural light floods the space allowing guests to sit back, relax and take in the passing landscapes.  

Sea Owl’s impressive dining area features a large custom pietre dure table under a stunning Dale Chihuly Venetian glass chandelier with a beautiful, hand-painted mural backdrop.

Seven state rooms welcome up to 14 guests and feature a variety of themes from masquerade balls to pirate tales.  The superyacht’s master stateroom, on the main deck is a massive space that takes advantage of the full 40-foot beam (12m), including a large office with an custom replica of an 18th century French desk.  Sea Owl’s other six guest staterooms are on the lower deck, two of which are ideally suited for children or grandchildren and can be joined together as one large bunk room.  Three VIP suites all feature unique themes to encourage guests to enjoy the fantasy.  There is also an additional cabin ideally suited for nannies, extra staff, family or friends.

The superyacht’s bridge deck is a warm, welcoming family hub, with a full-beam sky-lounge/movie theater, a large gym with adjoining massage room, and a classroom for learning at sea.  Both the classroom and the gym have fold-out balconies.  The classroom is also equipped with a hidden Murphy bed.

From tranquil, alfresco dining, to sunbathing and swimming, or barbecuing with the game on one of the pop-up televisions, the Sea Owl’s incredible deck spaces were perfectly planned for enjoying life on the water.

Two custom Hodgdon tenders, 28-foot (8.6m) and 27-foot (8.4m), are discreetly hidden in the forward garage bays and launched through two gull-wing doors. On the foredeck, is a smaller 17-foot (5.2m) RIB.  Yacht toys can be accessed via the fold-down swim platform and lazarette area that provides excellent water access and can also be setup as a waterside beach club. 

This Feadship has been built and maintained to the highest possible standards in every corner, from guest areas to crew quarters to the engine room.  With trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific capability, Sea Owl is ready to cruise anywhere in the world. Ensuring this capability, the yacht has been built to the stringent Lloyds classification requirements and reinforced to handle light ice operation.  The yacht’s dynamic positioning system allows her to virtually anchor when necessary, and special attention was paid to making her quiet, seaworthy, and secure.  

Behind the scenes, Sea Owl is outfitted with an unparalleled, all-encompassing, state-of-the-art surveillance and security system that ensures safety and privacy in any part of the world.  

Sea Owl has incredible spaces throughout the yacht to delight all the senses; from the baby grand Steinway, to the kaleidescape system, to the aft-folding swim platform, to the enhanced safety, security and protective features.  This yacht is impressive yet incredibly welcoming, beautifully detailed yet extremely secure, unique yet timeless.  Sea Owl is a wonder to behold and will be a cherished prize for her new owner.

Motor Yacht

The custom 62m Feadship superyacht Sea Owl is a unique vessel created for experienced, family-oriented owners. Her exterior began on the drawing boards of Winch Design, painting a picture of a sophisticated existence which simultaneously offers a hidden world of adventure within.

Purpose-built to entertain a younger generation, Sea Owl offers a magical array of toys and games with thematic decorative schemes throughout. Hand carved wooden walls, crafted with incredible detail, offer games and discovery.

There are two dedicated children’s cabins on board Sea Owl, as well as the Owner’s stateroom and three guest suites. Besides its breathtakingly beautiful interior, the owners' vision for Sea Owl called for highly modern and complex technical specifications, including an extraordinarily sophisticated security system.

The combination of a jade-mist-green hull and an oyster-white superstructure is a theme that has been seen on the owners’ previous yachts, although never quite to this degree of intricacy.

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering. Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR

Russia downs 10 drones in one of largest attacks on Moscow

Air defenses shot down 10 drones approaching Moscow in what Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called one of the largest attacks on the Russian capital since the beginning of the war on Ukraine, as Kyiv’s forces continued their incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

“Our force should be felt in various corners of Russia,” Andriy Yermak, the chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Wednesday on Telegram, without specifically referring to the drone assault. “So it will be.”

Sobyanin said Moscow’s “layered defense” had succeeded in intercepting all the drones, and there were no reports of damage or casualties. In total, 45 drones were shot down overnight in various regions of Russia, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Moscow was regularly the target of Ukrainian drone attacks last summer. Strikes against Russia’s largest city with the unmanned aerial vehicles have been far less frequent this year as Ukraine has focused on hitting military airfields and energy sector installations in border regions.

Ukraine’s military caught Russia off guard with its intervention into the Kursk region that’s now in its third week, the first foreign military offensive inside Russian territory since World War II. Zelenskyy said Monday that his forces control more than 483 square miles of Russian territory and are continuing to expand operations in the region. The claims couldn’t be independently verified.

Ukraine has also stepped up targeting of military sites in the occupied Crimea peninsula in recent months, forcing Russia’s Black Sea fleet to retreat from the area to protect its vessels.

Ukrainian air defenses downed 50 out of 69 Shahed drones, the highest number reported so far this month, as well as one missile out of three fired by Russia overnight, the country’s Air Force Command said on Telegram.

Zelenskyy has urged U.S. and European allies to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons against Russia, saying his military’s cross-border operation had exposed as “illusory” Kremlin threats of retaliation.

He said Ukraine’s goal in the operation is to establish a buffer zone to protect communities in its northern border areas from Russian attack. Russia’s military has repeatedly launched missiles, glide bombs and drones from the Kursk and neighboring Belgorod regions to strike Ukrainian cities close to their border.

Russia has continued attacks elsewhere along the front line, advancing in the eastern Donetsk region toward the city of Pokrovsk, an important logistics hub for Ukrainian forces. Local authorities have ordered an evacuation of civilians.

If Ukraine is able to hold on to territory in Kursk, that could force Moscow to redeploy troops from the eastern frontline to help dislodge Kyiv’s forces from Russia, said Jim Townsend, a former top Pentagon official during President Barack Obama’s administration.

“Maybe it will take pressure off the east and they’ll be able to retake some of the settlements they’ve lost,” said Townsend, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for a New American Security.

At the same time, Ukraine should be careful not to fall into the trap of “overstretch,” he said. Russia could try to lure Ukrainian troops deeper into its territory and “then use artillery and air power to smash them to pieces.”

Breaking news, ukraine targets moscow in one of largest-ever drone attacks on russian capital as war intensifies.

Ukraine targeted Moscow with at least 11 drones on Wednesday, one of the biggest such attacks on the Russian capital since the war began. 

Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it shot down a total of 45 drones over the country on Wednesday, with 11 intercepted over the Moscow region, 23 over Bryansk, six in Belgorod, three in Kaluga and two in Kursk. 

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said some of the drones were destroyed over the city Podlsk, just 24 miles south of the Kremlin headquarters. 

“This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow using drones ever,” Sobyanin said on Telegram.

“The layered defense of Moscow that was created made it possible to successfully repel all the attacks from the enemy UAVs.”

Russian outlets aired unverified footage of several drones soaring overhead above Moscow before they were shot down by the Kremlin’s air defense system. 

Officials in the regions where the drones were spotted said no deaths or serious damage had been reported as a result of the drone strike.  

Main sites of the Ukrainian counteroffensive

• Melitopol:  Kyiv’s forces continued advancing toward the city of Melitopol on the Sea of Azov in the south. If Ukraine were to claw back Melitopol, it could bring it closer to breaking through the Russia-held land corridor linking the annexed Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia, splitting Moscow’s forces in two and cutting their supply lines.
• Zaporizhzhia:  Intense battles raged in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, where US officials said Kyiv has launched its “main thrust” aimed at retaking 20% of its occupied territory. While Moscow claimed to have repelled Ukraine’s attacks involving dozens of armored vehicles and inflicted heavy losses on Kyiv’s troops, the Institute for the Study of War reported that the Ukrainian offensive appeared to have broken through some Russian defenses.
• Donetsk:  Ukrainian troops on Thursday recaptured the strategically significant village of Staromaiorske located in the Donetsk region south of a cluster of settlements along the Mokri Yaly river that Kyiv had seized at the start of the counteroffensive. Control of the village could open the way for Ukraine to push southward toward the coast.
• Bakhmut:  Ukrainian forces were said to be “gradually moving forward” near Bakhmut in the east, where Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar claimed Russians were dying at a rate eight times higher than Ukrainians. Geolocated footage showed that Kyiv’s troops have made gains south of the town of Klishchiivka, and additional fighting was reported near the settlements of Kudriumivka and Andriivka.

The attack was reminiscent of the May 2023 assault where eight drones were shot over Moscow in what Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed as Kyiv’s attempt to scare and provoke the Kremlin.  

Since the start of the year, Ukraine has stepped up its drone warfare against Russia, attacking oil refineries and airfields to slow the enemy invasion. 

The latest drone strikes come 15 days into Ukraine’s ground incursion in Kursk, where Kyiv has seized dozens of Russian towns and hundreds of square-miles of land past the border. 

Russia’s state media claims 31 people have died since the incursion began on Aug. 6, with official figures yet to be independently verified.

With more than 120,000 civilians fleeing neighboring towns, Russian officials have condemned the Ukrainian incursion and said “any possibility” for peace has passed. 

Who will negotiate with them after this, after the atrocities, the terror that they are committing against peaceful residents, the civilian population, civilian infrastructure and peaceful facilities,” said Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry. 

Kyiv has said it’s looking to establish a “buffer zone” in Russia after Ukraine took out three bridges in the region, hindering Moscow’s supply lines and redeployment efforts to fight off the invading soldiers.
