Oceanco is a Dutch superyacht builder based in Alblasserdam, producing custom motor yachts exclusively in the 60-metre-plus range with a focus on technically innovative builds that push the boundaries of naval architecture, structural engineering, and onboard systems. The yard’s portfolio includes some of the most recognisable and largest privately commissioned yachts afloat, characterised by progressive exterior styling, interior spaces scaled for maximum volume efficiency, and a construction programme that integrates sustainability features including hybrid propulsion on recent commissions. The six Oceanco yachts available from Barbados represent the yard’s full-custom philosophy translated into Caribbean charter, with vessels that offer passenger capacities, onboard facilities, and crew complements well beyond what any production platform can achieve. Barbados is a productive base for large-draught superyachts, with the island’s deep west-coast anchorages accommodating significant vessel sizes at Carlisle Bay and Holetown, and Bridgetown providing provisioning for large crew complements. Weekly charter rates for an Oceanco from Barbados run from approximately 250,000 to 600,000 euros per week depending on the vessel, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering fuel, full provisions, crew gratuities at scale, and berthing fees. Caribbean peak season is December through April. The passage from Barbados to the Tobago Cays in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a morning’s run for a large motor yacht, arriving in time for a full afternoon anchored behind the reef with snorkelling, tenders, and watersports deployed.
