OCEANCO Oceanco has specialized in building large custom yachts up to 160m in length since 1987. Offering a highly personalized service to clients, Oceanco applies innovative design and technology to create one-of-a-kind yachts that respect the vision of both the Owner and the designer. CUSTOM REDEFINED At Oceanco, we only build custom yachts. But that doesn’t mean we take a standard approach. By redefining custom with our distinctive range of offerings, we put an owner’s experience and needs first. OUR FLEET Every Oceanco yacht is unique, but they all share the hallmark of our DNA: distinguished achievement realized through the power of partnership and a drive to go further and do better. A CULTURE OF EVOLUTION Our drive to evolve pushes us to raise the bar. In our DNA as a company, we feel an instinct to progress, to evolve. It can be traced back to Oceanco’s earliest days and is still reflected in our endeavors today. To support. To collaborate. To grow. FACILITIES To build next-generation yachts, we need state-of-the-art facilities in line with our progressive approach to innovation and sustainability. The Zwijndrecht construction and refit facilities allow for the maintenance, refit and lifetime extension activities of the Oceanco fleet as well as providing the ability to do outside refit work, while the Alblasserdam outfitting facilities boast ecological enhancements as well as updated state-of the-art technologies. We have the capacity to work on multiple yachts of up to 160m, whilst we are creating a yachting hub and brain park at our construction and refit site, which is set to become a key platform for efficiency and innovation. Oceanco has created some of the most recognizable and timeless yachts afloat. Perfection is hard to come by, but at Oceanco we build the Owner’s perfect yacht.
