Oceanco, the Dutch shipyard based in Alblasserdam with a focus on building very large fully custom superyachts, has produced some of the most architecturally ambitious and technically sophisticated private yachts of the past two decades. Their vessels typically range from 80 to over 100 metres, built as long-term capital assets for owners with the most exacting specifications. Chartering an Oceanco in Curacao places one of the world’s finest private vessels in a Caribbean destination that offers both cultural depth and natural variety. Curacao’s Dutch colonial heritage resonates with Oceanco’s Dutch engineering identity, and the island’s varied coastline rewards the kind of slow exploration that a large, fully staffed yacht enables. Oceanco builds are characterised by innovative hull forms, custom naval architecture developed in-house, and interior volumes that regularly challenge the boundaries of what is achievable at a given waterline length. Each commission is entirely bespoke. Guests chartering an Oceanco will encounter a vessel with a distinct architectural identity: no two are alike. Weekly rates for Oceanco charters in the Caribbean begin at approximately 400,000 euros per week and can exceed 1,500,000 for the most recent flagship builds in peak season. The advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, large-party provisioning, drinks, helicopter operations, and port fees. Caribbean high season runs December through April. Curacao’s provisioning infrastructure and air links make crew changes and resupply straightforward for a large Oceanco on an extended Caribbean itinerary.
