Oceanco is a Dutch shipyard in Alblasserdam producing large bespoke steel motor yachts, typically in the 80 to 110 metre range. The yard has delivered around 30 vessels since 1987, each a unique commission built to owner specification. Oceanco is known for technically ambitious projects, including solar-hybrid propulsion systems and innovative deck configurations, and its vessels consistently appear on lists of the most significant yachts delivered in any given year.
Six Oceanco yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Lengths in the charter fleet range from around 75 to over 100 metres, with crew sizes from twenty to thirty-five and guest capacities of ten to twelve. Each vessel reflects an individual commission, and the range of interiors and deck amenities across the fleet is wider than almost any other builder at this size. Some carry submarines, helicopter pads, and beach clubs on the scale of resort facilities.
Weekly charter rates for Oceanco yachts in the Bahamas start at approximately 400,000 euros per week and extend significantly above that for the largest vessels. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, food, port fees, and crew gratuity. Caribbean season peaks December through April. Oceanco charters are handled by a small number of specialist brokers, and booking lead times of twelve months or more are standard.
Six Oceanco yachts operating in the Caribbean represents a rare concentration of vessels at this level. Inagua draws this fleet not by accident but by design: the island offers the privacy and the uncharted quality that guests of Oceanco yachts specifically seek. The flamingo reserves, the pristine reef dives, and the absence of marina infrastructure mean the yacht is the destination, and the surrounding island is the programme.
