Waterfront: Immensely Satisfying
Oceanco's latest puts the "Mega" in Megayacht.

Oceanco 262
Oceanco’s newest contract is for a massive 80-meter yacht designed in collaboration with Nuvolari & Lenard. Despite its large proportions, the project shows a sleek, aggressive silhouette with a “shippy” profile forward and long, broad decks aft. The beamy, 14.2-meter-wide hull will be constructed in steel and propelled by twin MTU 16V 595 TE 70 diesels generating 4,700 horsepower apiece. Hull speed is a swift 19 knots. At 14 knots, range will be 6,000 nautical miles.

Main-deck guest staterooms and the huge upper-deck owner's suite – complete with a large private terrace – will enable the yacht to accommodate up to 16 in the owner's party. The fleet of tenders will include two 30-footers and three RIBs. An innovative main-deck glass lobby just off the gangway creates a comfortable space for guests waiting to head ashore. The yacht also will offer a helicopter landing pad. Delivery is scheduled for autumn 2006.
