At the end of July 2026, the 91.8-metre superyacht Drizzle anchored off the Costa Smeralda in northern Sardinia. The vessel was built by Feadship, the Dutch shipyard known for custom superyachts. Feadship does not publicly identify the owner; specialist yachting publications link Drizzle to Amancio Ortega, founder of Zara and one of Spain’s most prominent business figures.
Delivered in 2024, Drizzle is reported to measure 91.8 metres long, with a 14.5-metre beam and a 3.9-metre draft. Its reported gross tonnage is 2,965 GT. The steel hull has a dark-blue finish, while the aluminum superstructure rises above teak decks in a multi-level white profile. Published specifications list fuel capacity at 253,800 litres and freshwater capacity at 66,400 litres, provisions suited to extended voyages.
Hybrid Technology and Design
Drizzle is described as Feadship’s first yacht to receive full Hybrid Electric Class certification. Its reported propulsion system combines two MTU engines, three Caterpillar generators, two 560-kilowatt electric motors and a battery bank rated at 1,029 kilowatt-hours. In suitable conditions, the hybrid setup is designed for quieter, lower-emission operation, while conventional power remains available for longer passages. Published figures put the yacht’s range at up to 5,500 nautical miles at 12 knots. It is not fully electric; the system combines electric and conventional propulsion.
The exterior is credited to Sinot Yacht Architecture, with interiors developed in collaboration with Elsa Urquijo. De Voogt Naval Architects handled the naval architecture. Feadship has described the project as commissioned by a long-standing client seeking a family-oriented yacht, understated finishes and carefully planned spaces. The shipyard does not identify that client, while specialist yachting media continue to associate the vessel with Ortega.
Luxury Spaces and Amenities
The aft section is arranged for leisure, with a reported 165-square-metre beach club that opens to the sea through fold-out platforms. A large swimming pool sits one deck above. The garage is described as accommodating two 10-metre tenders, a sports boat and water toys. Drizzle can host up to 14 guests in seven suites, with a crew of 18. The upper decks include a family lounge, a wellness area and an owner’s suite.
Industry estimates put the yacht’s value at around $300 million, but Feadship has not confirmed a sale price. Custom-built and not listed for public sale, Drizzle has no publicly stated asking price. The estimate remains a market figure, not a confirmed transaction value. Yachting coverage also associates ownership with Ortega, while Feadship refers only to a repeat client.
Spotlight on the Mediterranean
AIS tracking data placed Drizzle on a course for Sardinia on July 24, 2026, and Italian media later reported its passage along the Gallura coast. The yacht had also been seen in the area in June 2025, making this its return to a familiar stretch of Mediterranean coastline. Interest in the vessel is amplified by Ortega’s public profile and attention to his business activities, including dividends from Inditex, Zara’s parent company.
The Mediterranean is a major cruising ground for large private yachts, and high-profile vessels such as Drizzle often share headlines with other superyachts. Recent coverage has included legal disputes over yacht sales, including the case involving Revolut founder Nikolay Storonsky and a €350 million yacht, as reported in a related investigation by russpain.com.
With hybrid propulsion, extensive outdoor leisure areas and reported long-range capability, Drizzle brings together advanced engineering and the privacy associated with custom-built private yachts. Its appearance off Sardinia has renewed attention on the vessel and its reported link to Ortega.
