Paraffin - 60m feadship Superyacht
This huge superyacht made an appearance at Sentosa Cove in 2022. Although she isn’t the largest yacht ever to sail into the marina, she is the largest that we, personally, have witnessed in this prestigious location. This pedigree Feadship is the 62nd largest they have built, and she is ranked as 468th largest yacht in the world.
She is 60.1m in length, (197’02”), and she has a GT of 1,092. Her draft is 3.25m and her beam is 10.5m. She can carry up to 139,300 litres of fuel, plus 32,800 litres of water on board, and with her twin Caterpillar 3516B DITA Diesel engines she has a top speed of 16 knots. With a cruising speed of 12.5 knots, she has a range of 4,200 nautical miles.
This yacht was built for Mike Kittredge, the American founder of The Yankee Candle Company, hence the name!

The superyacht’s builder; Feadship delivered her in 2001 from their Royal Van Lent shipyard. She later underwent a refit in 2005, 2010 and in 2016.
She can accommodate up to 14 guests in exquisite luxury with a Master Cabin, VIP suite, 3 x double staterooms and a twin stateroom. All cabins have their own en-suite. Plus, there is accommodation for an impressive 17 crew members!
Paraffin has an aluminium superstructure, and her mono hull is steel. Her exterior design and architecture is the work of De Voogt and consists of 3 huge decks.
Lady Candy (56m), Annabella (44.5m) and Trident (46m), all look rather small when moored next to Paraffin (see photo above and video below). These 4 superyachts are still currently either moored at Sentosa Cove or exploring other locations in Southeast-Asia. Click here to read about these superyachts and more.
Her opulent dark mahogany interior was penned and refined by Larvor, and she offers endless entertainment for all onboard. Features include an extraordinary, chilled wine cellar that holds over 400 bottles, a top-deck gym with 360° views, a home cinema, indoor and outdoor bar, steam room, plus an outdoor whirlpool spa. Not to mention the armada of watersports toys.
In 2019, Paraffin had an asking price of €28,500,000. We believe that Paraffin once had charter prices of approx €254,000 p/week or approx €42,250 p/day. However, she is currently listed as a private yacht and is therefore no longer available for charter. Most recently, she has been exploring the waters between Langkawi, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand.
