The 143’ (43.6m) Feadship TRUE NORTH is a true classic, built in 1987 at the Van Lent shipyard and meticulously refit in 2021. Originally launched as FIFFANELLA, this stunning yacht boasts a rich cruising history, guided by knowledgeable and experienced owners. With her steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and all-teak decks, she is engineered for world cruising, especially in shallow waters like The Bahamas. Her recent refit included extensive updates, ensuring that she is in peak condition and ready for her next adventure.

TRUE NORTH’s refit under her current owner, who invested approximately $4 million into capital improvements, has taken her to new heights of luxury and performance. The refit encompassed a full exterior paint job, and significant upgrades to the air conditioning, electrical and navigation systems. Every detail, from the new Headhunter system and A/V upgrades has been meticulously attended to. With Bureau Veritas’ 35-year survey completed, TRUE NORTH is in impeccable condition and ready for immediate cruising.

On her interior, TRUE NORTH marries timeless charm with modern amenities. With accommodations for up to 16, she offers a versatile layout to accommodate all sorts of guests. The full-beam master suite is located forward on the main deck, featuring separate his-and-hers baths adorned with Crema Marfil marble. On the lower deck, four additional staterooms provide accommodations for up to 14 guests, each with its own en-suite bath. These comprise a queen-size cabin and another cabin with a queen, a twin and a Pullman. The other two cabins feature a full-size bed, a twin and a Pullman in each.

TRUE NORTH’s three decks provide ample spaces for both sun-soaked relaxation and alfresco dining. The covered aft deck features seating and a dining area perfect for enjoying meals with panoramic views. The sundeck is a standout feature, complete with a Jacuzzi, swim-up bar and sun loungers, ideal for unwinding while at anchor. Her swim platform provides easy access to the water, with a deck shower and swim ladder for added convenience.
