After just six weeks on the market and named after the Japanese word for 'cherry blossom', Sakura has been sold after Feadship was introduced to a client of Burgess.

"From the moment we released information about Sakura last May there were several clients who jumped at the opportunity, including her new owner," says Maarten Janssen, Feadship's Sales Director. "He was attracted by the relatively short delivery time and the opportunity to bypass the waiting list. He loved the exterior and interior design, and the yacht totally fit what he was looking for in terms of layout for family use. A perfect fit, in other words."

Richard Lambert, Head of Sales at Burgess commented "It has been a pleasure to have worked hand in hand with the new owner and Feadship for project Sakura and we are looking forward to a continued close collaboration for the completion of this stunning new build project."

The 71.75-metre diesel-electric yacht is scheduled for delivery in May 2025.
