Oceanco has debuted 12 exciting new exterior designs to spark clients' imagination. Delivering an unprecedented variety of choice from a single technical base, owners can now take inspiration from a total of 27 Simply Custom yacht designs penned by top-tier studios from around the world.
The Collection has been created to provide inspiration for a full spectrum of tastes and lifestyles, with a solid appreciation for how today's yacht owners want to spend their time onboard.
"As a foundational element of our Custom Redefined range of offerings, Simply Custom reflects an understanding that some owners value a less technically focused yacht building experience while still demanding the pedigree and comfort of an Oceanco," explains Oceanco Sales Manager Wim Verhoeff, onsite at the inaugural Qatar Boat Show. "The yachts themselves are advanced and complex, but our approach allows clients to focus on what matters most to them."
The new cohort of designers adding their creations to The Collection include: Aberdoni, Clapot Design, Cor D. Rover Design, Daroca Design, De Basto Designs, Demetrius Tanase Yacht Design, Messerschmitt Yachts, North West Boatworks, Phi Design Lab, Pininfarina, Sinot and Tony Castro Yachts.
Pininfarina Kairos 80
"KAIROS was first imagined as a 90m yacht, which we adapted to the Simply Custom technical foundation for our addition to The Collection. It provides a new kind of living space without boundaries that allows an owner and their guests to connect, share and create by synchronously experiencing multiple environments onboard. The yacht's exterior has been shaped to evoke a peaceful oasis in which to relax and enjoy time on your own terms. On KAIROS 80, time, space and people connect to be one in the moment. The owner and their guests are at the epicenter of the onboard experience, and the surrounding space adapts to their every desire."

Simply feel it
With top technical features as standard, and flexibility built into the foundation, enjoy the freedom to take your Simply Custom yacht's design in any direction while guaranteeing Oceanco's outstanding pedigree.
Simply comfortable: We are committed to providing you with the best seakeeping possible on an 80m yacht, delivering next-level comfort. Rigorous attention to detail and collaboration with leading suppliers, such as Quantum, result in performance that is optimized for the latest stabilization technology.
Simply quiet: As with all Oceancos, low levels of noise and vibration are central to Simply Custom. Every possible consideration is made to ensure absolute serenity in all guest areas. For example, a fully dry exhaust system places engine outlets away from guests at the waterline. Without distractions, you can focus on what matters to you most.
Simply efficient: At its core is an all-electric propulsion system with a DC electrical architecture. Variable speed generators drive azimuthing thrusters that deliver propulsion efficiency alongside best-of-class maneuverability, allowing for effective, safe and reliable dynamic positioning and high levels of redundancy. Meaning every Simply Custom yacht is engineered to operate in all conditions, including areas with anchoring restrictions.
A battery system can be added to enhance the power management system onboard, while the Simply Custom yachts can run on alternative renewable diesel fuels such as HVO, to reduce carbon emission by approximately 80-90% versus normal marine diesel.
And to complement the advanced propulsion system, Simply Custom's technical foundation features the next generation hull design from over a decade of collaboration and refinement between Oceanco, Lateral and MARIN.

Our approach
Different is in our DNA
You could say that delivering industry firsts is Oceanco's calling card. Since our inception, we have been privileged to collaborate with nonconformist owners and similarly ambitious partners and Co-makers, challenging the status quo.
We consistently deliver ground-breaking yachts that set new standards in design, efficiency, innovation and technical achievement. Our fleet is testament to this approach, with trend-setting projects such as Alfa Nero, Tranquility, Aquijo, Black Pearl, Bravo Eugenia and Koru exemplifying Oceanco's ethos.
We embrace meaningful innovation that is aligned with progressive thinking about how we live today and the impact on our planet, working with trailblazers from inside and outside the industry. Put simply, Oceanco builds tomorrow's yachts, today.
Our newbuild approach
Building for a better future
For Oceanco, innovation and sustainability are at the core of who we are and what we do, meaning we can build a better future for generations to come. We believe that building
yachts that are capable of operating more sustainably will become the norm in the coming years.
In order to build yachts that will stand the test of time, we are proactive when it comes to keeping abreast of the latest design developments and technologies relating to sustainability, often from outside the industry. Our Project Development team and our technical partners like Lateral always have this at the front of their minds, and will include sustainability as part of the earliest conversations we have with you and your team.
And we continue to invest in ways that can make our own operations more sustainable. Oceanco has pledged to more than halve our impact on the environment compared to the benchmark by 2030, aiming for 100% of our electricity usage to be supplied by renewable energy sources.
Facilities as cutting-edge as our yachts
To build next-generation yachts, we need state-of-the-art facilities that are in line with our progressive approach to design, innovation and sustainability. Which is why Oceanco continues to invest in impactful emerging technologies while also increasing capabilities at our various yacht building facilities.
Our eco-efficient, state of the art headquarters in Alblasserdam has the capacity to work on multiple yachts of up to 150m at the same time, both for new builds and Life Cycle Support. There is a marina for in-water service jobs, a cutting edge dry dock and a Syncrolift, as well as access restricted zones for safety and confidentiality. The main building accommodates 2,800sqm of office space across six floors, alongside 13,000sqm of workshops adjacent to the dock. From here, yachts have direct access to the North Sea.
Oceanco's 28-acre site in Zwijndrecht is integral to our longterm initiative for growth. As well as expanding capacity for Life Cycle Support work and centralizing the Phase 1 construction of our new builds, it is evolving into a yacht hub and brain park for innovation and training. Across 114,000sqm there are separate construction and outfitting facilities, a piping shop, paint facilities, sandblasting facilities, offices and conference rooms including those used by owner's teams, yacht crews and our Co-maker partners. And this is also where our steel hulls are fabricated in-house by Mercury Yacht Construction, an Oceanco company.
Lifecycle support
Taking care of your yacht for the duration
Every yacht deserves the highest quality care, not just when she is built but throughout her lifetime. We call this Life Cycle Support.
Life Cycle Support guarantees the same standard of expertise and integrity that Oceanco's clients receive for our construction projects, with a full service approach that is delivered at our state of the art facilities. The Life Cycle Support project managers and teams work alongside Oceanco's comprehensive network of key suppliers and Co-maker partners to reliably and efficiently deliver a wide range of services on time and on budget.
With advanced environmental and security controls, our outfitting facilities uphold the highest standards to assure the safety and privacy of crews, yachts and workers.
A full-service solution year in, year out
From routine refit and maintenance management to full scale upgrades and lifetime extensions, we offer assurance that a yacht will uphold the highest quality standards, whether she is part of our fleet or new to us. With many outstanding key suppliers and Co-makers based at or near Oceanco, our clients have direct access to a vast pool of talent onsite. Both at our own facilities and through deployment of rapid response teams anytime, anywhere in the world, Oceanco Life Cycle Support has our clients covered.
A lifetime of evolution
With experience on some of the most challenging and innovative yacht construction projects in the world, we are not fazed by major upgrades or lifetime extensions. Our construction facilities are able to handle significant structural and technical works, so every yacht can continue to evolve and modernize as new technologies come on stream - and even become more sustainable in the process.
An open book with no unexpected 'extras'
We stand for reliability, responsibility and transparency. We are open and upfront about costs before a project starts, with many services falling under our monthly facilities fee, so there are no long lists of unexpected 'extras' when it comes to invoicing time.
