Her maximum speed is 35 knots. At the time of built (2004) she was the largest Feadship ever, with a length of 86 meters (282 ft). She can accommodate 2 helicopters; one of the aft deck and one in and enclosed hangar on the fore deck.

The yacht can accommodate 12 guests in 7 cabins, there are cinema facilities, several bars, an exercise room, a steam room, a sauna and a massage room. The interior is designed by Terence Disdale and is styled like a beach house. In 2009 Abramovich sold the yacht Ecstasea to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi: HH Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He is the son of Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan, the Emir of Abu Dhabi. According to a London court document  the purchase price of the yacht was EUR 100 million (or US$ 125 million). In 2014 the Crown Prince sold Ecstasea to Pakistani billionaire Alshair Fiyaz for a sum of USD 75 million. The Abu Dhabi royal family is not without a yacht as his father the Emir of Abu Dhabi owns the world’s largest yacht Azzam.

Design

Ordered by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, Ecstasea was built in 2004 as the largest Feadship ever built. The yacht was built in the shipyard of Royal Van Lent and has length of 85.95 metres (282.0 ft), and a beam of 11.50 metres (37.7 ft), resulting in a deadweight of 585 metric tons. The yacht is made of all steel, and is much closer to a luxury ship, than to a yacht.

Her exterior design was created by the teamwork of Terence Disdale and De Voogt Naval Architects, with Disdale also responsible for the yacht’s Asian-style interior. David Waite-Wright, who was Senior Designer at Disdales, oversaw the project. The yacht later went on to win multiple interior design awards. She has capacity for 14 passengers, who are divided into 6 separate rooms.

Engine

The yacht has four main MTU engines with a combined power of 12,444 hp. The builder also installed a General Electric LM2500 gas turbine on board, which produces 30,843 hp. The total combined horsepower of 43,287 hp allows the yacht to reach a maximum speed of more than 30 knots. The maximum speed with only the diesel engines working is 25 knots. The cruising speed (diesel only) is 22 knots.
