Secretive 111m Project Y726 arrives at Oceanco's Outfitting Facilities

By Anna Ingles 19 December 2023

Today, Oceanco's outfitting facilities received a new addition, Project Y726, which was transferred via the Oude Maas River from the company's initial construction site in Zwijndrecht to its final assembly location in Alblasserdam. Here, the motor yacht will undergo the final phases of construction before being launched for sea trials in the North Sea and eventual delivery.

With a remarkable length of 111m (364.2ft) and a beam of 16m (52.4ft), the Oceanco Y726 boasts an impressive volume, making it one of the largest yachts constructed by the renowned Dutch shipyard. Its compelling exterior, designed by Espen Øino International, encapsulates a sleek and modern silhouette that is sure to turn heads in every port. The interior, a masterpiece by Mark Berryman Design, offers a warm and sophisticated ambiance to accommodate up to 28 guests in unparalleled comfort.

In a whimsical and characteristic gesture, Rotterdam's graffiti artist I AM EELCO was invited to add his artistic touch onboard during Y726's transportation, bringing a lighthearted flair to this significant milestone in the project's construction. His signature colorful designs added a splash of color to the superyacht's bare white exterior.

Project Y726 is not just about size and elegance; it is a treasure trove of amenities that define luxury at sea. Guests can indulge in the yacht's winter garden, enjoy drinks in the covered cocktail area, or enjoy movies under the stars at the outdoor cinema, something highly sought after in luxury yacht charters. The sundeck lounge and private owner's area, complete with a Jacuzzi, offer sanctuaries of relaxation, while the entertainment area on the main deck aft features both a second Jacuzzi and a swimming pool for guests to revel in.

The interior spaces will be equally impressive, with a cinema, gym, a spa-quality health and wellness area complete with a sauna and steam room, and a beach club lounge that opens onto the swimming platform, ensuring that there is no shortage of activities for guests. Large windows throughout the superyacht provide breathtaking views at all angles, enhancing the onboard experience.
