Oceanco builds in Alblasserdam and has established itself as one of the world’s leading producers of architecturally ambitious custom superyachts, working with designers and naval architects who push the boundaries of what is possible at sea. The yard’s vessels are defined by innovation in form and structure, from hull designs that challenge conventional displacement theory to interior spaces that reference the best of contemporary architecture. For Andros Island in the Bahamas, a destination of extraordinary natural richness, an Oceanco arrives as a vessel that matches the scale of the environment it enters.
Six Oceanco yachts operate across Bahamas and Caribbean waters, each in the 70-to-90-metre range and each a distinct architectural statement. These are vessels with professional crew teams of sixteen or more, dynamic positioning for anchorages without room to swing and beach clubs that open the hull to the sea at anchor. The stabilisation systems manage the Tongue of the Ocean crossing comfortably regardless of weather conditions.
Charter rates for Oceanco yachts begin at approximately 350,000 euros per week before expenses and rise significantly for the largest custom builds. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. Specialist provisioning brokers are engaged for this category of vessel. High season runs December through April with significant holiday premiums.
From Andros, an Oceanco makes Fresh Creek’s barrier reef wall, Nicholl’s Town’s northern anchorage, Mangrove Cay’s flat water, Behring Point’s bonefish flats and the east coast blue holes all feel like natural stops in a private itinerary. The vessel’s size and systems transform a remote destination into an entirely self-sufficient one.
