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 and its vessels consistently appear among 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 amenities across the fleet is wider than almost any other builder at this scale. 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. Caribbean season peaks December through April. Oceanco charters are handled by specialist brokers and booking lead times of twelve months or more are standard.
An Oceanco at anchor off Long Island converts the island programme entirely. Cape Santa Maria beach is a tender ride away. Dean Blue Hole is within an easy south passage and a submersible, if the vessel carries one, changes the dive experience entirely. The 80-mile length of the coastline gives a large vessel room to work, and the relative absence of other charter traffic at Long Island means the anchorages remain genuinely private even at this scale.
