Oceanco, based in Alblasserdam in the Netherlands, occupies the rarefied upper tier of custom motor yacht building, typically constructing vessels between 60 and 90 metres to fully bespoke briefs. The yard is known internationally for accepting technically demanding projects that other builders decline, and several of the world’s most celebrated and recognisable motor yachts carry Oceanco hulls. Charter one from St Vincent and you board a vessel representing the outer limit of private yacht ambition.nnOceanco works exclusively with world-leading naval architects and interior design studios. Advanced composite and aluminium combinations reduce displacement relative to steel builds of the same length, maximising performance and volume. Interior arrangements on Oceanco builds consistently surprise with the space they contain: full-beam saloons, multiple private decks, beach clubs, and owner’s arrangements of a scale rarely achieved in steel construction. Crew sizes match the vessel’s complexity and ambition.nnWeekly charter rates for Oceanco yachts near St Vincent range from approximately 200,000 to over 600,000 euros depending on vessel length and specification. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent is the standard planning baseline. Caribbean availability is extremely limited. Oceanco charters in this region are committed well over a year ahead through specialist brokers with direct relationships with owners and managers.nnSt Vincent’s Blue Lagoon provides the infrastructure to service a vessel of this scale. The Grenadines chain to the south, with Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and the Tobago Cays Marine Park within easy range, provides an itinerary commensurate with the calibre of the charter.
