Builder drawingThe Feeling 48 represents the sophisticated, shortlived flagship of the "Dériveur Intégral" (integral centerboard) line produced during the twilight years of Alliaura Marine. Built in France at the historic Kirié shipyard—which Alliaura had acquired to expand its reach beyond luxury catamarans into highend monohulls—the Feeling 48 was introduced to bridge the gap between traditional bluewater cruisers and modern, lightfilled yacht concepts. Designed by the naval architecture firm Alain Mortain and Yannis Mavrikios, with interior styling by Franck Darnet Design, this 47.9foot yacht sought to conquer a highly specific cruising niche 2. It combined the bluewater capability and stability of a large monohull with a fully retracting lifting keel, allowing it to navigate shallow waters and take the ground flat on its own hull. Ultimately, the model's production run was cut short when Alliaura Marine underwent liquidation, leaving only a handful of these highly capable, structurally advanced yachts on the water today.
