Billionaires and superyachts are becoming more and more synonymous, and Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll is no exception to this luxury. Being the owner of Project 714, now renamed ‘Faith’, Stroll now has possession of one of the most anticipated superyachts of recent times.
Interestingly, even as a yacht connoisseur, Stroll’s decision to sell his previous yacht in favour of the smaller Project 714 undoubtedly showcases the sheer quality of Feadship’s latest masterpiece, proving that in the modern superyacht world, innovation often outweighs scale.
The Billionaire Behind the Helm
Lawrence Stroll is an illustrious multi-billionaire with an estimated net worth of $3-$3.9 billion.
Lawrence Stroll’s father, Leo Strullovitch, was a fashion importer who introduced Ralph Lauren to Canada. Similarly, learning from his father, Stroll continued these practices to bring Ralph Lauren to European markets. He strategically then used these profits to partner with Silas Chou and invest in Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, being a large contributor to the success of both brands. In 2014, he sold the last of these shares, generating the bulk of his fortune and cashing in over $1 billion.
In 2018, Stroll moved into motorsports, where he led investors to buy a Formula One team for £90 million and is now the current owner, director, and executive chairman of the Aston Martin Formula One team, with a 16.7% majority share.
The Luxurious Craftmenship of Project 714
Labelled a “true Gentleman’s yacht” by Feadship, the superyacht possesses innovative, cutting-edge technology. Designed by the renowned British studio RWD, with its interior decorated by Chahan Interior Design, the boat’s visuals exude a luxurious ambience and stature. With a 2500GT steel-and-aluminium build spanning 80 metres LOA, its full-width panel glass and sculpted curves with deep-blue colouring express an undeniable sense of sophistication. Its interior, which focuses on premium materials and soft furnishings with carefully bespoke detailing, contributes to an atmosphere that moves beyond a traditional yacht into a luxurious waterside residence.
The yacht’s design focuses on outdoor living. It houses multiple deck levels, providing generous space for relaxation and entertainment, and expansive lounging areas strategically positioned to maximise a panoramic ocean view.
One particularly eye-catching feature is its beach club. Located at sea level, the space transforms the stern of the yacht into a private waterfront retreat, creating direct access to the ocean.
Innovation at the Forefront
While its exterior makes a powerful first impression, the real story of Faith lies beneath the surface. This superyacht contains modern engineering features, such as the latest innovation of the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program. Building upon the groundbreaking Obsidian, Faith possesses a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system and better energy efficiency and carbon reduction than Savanna, their first hybrid yacht. Overall, these innovations reflect Feadship’s goal of zero-project emissions by 2030.
Faith’s innovation doesn’t end there, as its advanced hydrodynamic efficiency is another standout. This advancement eliminates the traditionally required drive shafts and rudders, making the cruising experience more comfortable.
The Feadship Difference
Ultimately, what sets Faith apart is its merging of traditional yacht craftsmanship with technological advancements. Feadship has long built a reputation as one of the industry’s premium engineers, and Faith’s luxury and sophistication are no exception.
The Art of Understated Luxury
In a market crowded with increasingly extravagant yachts, Faith is praised not for being the largest but for its craftsmanship and innovation, representing a modern interpretation of luxury yachting.
