Business, Tuesday
Based in the Netherlands and with roots dating back to 1849, Feadship is recognised as the world leader in the field of custom superyachts. Each Feadship is defined by its superb craftsmanship and sets the standard in every aspect of design, engineering and construction. These bespoke motoryachts are created in partnership with owners who are prepared to invest in a wonderful building experience and reap the rewards for many years to come in terms of both pleasure and re-sale value.
Ronno Schouten’s interest in yachting started as many of his colleagues with sailing. This motivated him to achieve a master degree in naval architecture, later on followed with a degree in marketing. He worked on several ship yards involved in yacht building as well as commercial shipping before he joined Feadship in 2003. There he started as manager Yacht Services responsible for refits of several Feadships . After a few years he became manager of the Naval Architecture department. Currently Ronno is head of the Feadship's design department which creates the layout and exterior design for all new projects and at the same time also ensured technical feasibility of the project.
