The custom experience

The custom experience
Named after a legendary samurai warrior,
Musashi offers an inspirational synthesis
of Japanese design and art deco-style
elements. Her elegant profile features clear
lines and an optimal use of light and space.
This striking exterior flows seamlessly into
an interior where each space is conceived
with optimum efficiency in mind and crafted
to perfection. A wealth of built-in and loose
furniture ensures that Musashi displays a
remarkable sense of unity, both inside and out.
The layout is once again a testimony to
the complete flexibility clients enjoy when
embarking on a custom build Feadship
yacht. Musashi set the new standard for
a five deck-superyacht. The main deck is
devoted to eight suites for guests (two of
which are VIP, situated aft). There are also
two master staterooms: One on the third
(upper) deck and another on the fourth
(bridge) deck. With the accommodations
and lounges located on the upper decks,
the lower deck is free for technical spaces
and crew (plus a spa and gym), while the top
deck is devoted to chilling around the spa
pool or bar.

Glassway to heaven
One of the most memorable of the many
remarkable features onboard Musashi is the
central glass elevator that travels through
three decks. It is surrounded by a floating
staircase with steps composed of several
layers of refined glass that are compressed
to form a whole with their stainless steel
casing. The eye-catching floating element
is highlighted through the use of LED
downlights and lateral lighting in the stairs.
Wenge-clad columns and silver-inlaid walls
in the hallway make for an exquisite contrast.
The custom-made backlit art columns were
designed to display Japanese glass art objects.

The benefit of having a wall of windows is
manifestly apparent in the bridge deck master
suite. Here the floor is made of specially
