Oceanco is a Dutch shipyard based in Alblasserdam with a reputation for delivering some of the most celebrated and technically ambitious large custom motor yachts in the world. Founded in 1987, the yard has produced a series of landmark vessels in the 60 to 110 metre range, combining steel displacement construction with extraordinary design collaboration and a build process of exceptional rigour. With six Oceanco charter yachts available in the Bahamas, the fleet represents some of the most impressive vessels in the entire Caribbean and Atlantic winter charter market. Oceanco yachts are built to owner specifications of unusual ambition. Exterior naval architecture by leading design studios, interior design by award-winning firms, and engineering systems of a complexity more usually found on research vessels characterise the Oceanco build. In the Bahamas, the scale of these yachts opens itineraries of a different order: beach clubs that accommodate the full charter party, pools that rival resort facilities, and tender garages carrying multiple tenders and toys for simultaneous deployment. Weekly charter rates for Oceanco yachts in the Bahamas range from approximately 250,000 to 700,000 euros or more. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, food, Nassau marina fees, and drinks. Availability is extremely limited and demand from established charter clients means bookings are often secured a year or more in advance. Nassau accommodates Oceanco vessels at the main commercial pier while the team provisions for a week-long exploration of the Exuma Cays, Eleuthera, the Berry Islands, and the Abacos, covering the full extent of Bahamian variety.
