Oceanco welcomed another of its new construction projects to its outfitting facilities today. Y726 was transported along the Oude Maas River from Oceanco’s construction facilities in Zwijndrecht to its outfitting facilities in Alblasserdam, where the yacht’s final stages of construction will be completed before its launch, sea trials and delivery.
In a characteristically playful act, Rotterdam-based graffiti artist I AM EELCO was invited to paint onboard to add a cheerful wink to Y726’s transportation – a true milestone in the project’s construction.
I AM EELCO, also known as Eelco van den Berg, is a painter, muralist and illustrator. He is based in Rotterdam and in New York. He creates psychedelic landscapes with a distinct color palette that he developed on the streets. His work is mostly hand-drawn in a surrealistic pop art style.
His signature colorful designs added a splash of color to the superyacht's bare white exterior.
With an overall length of 111m, beam of 16m and displacement of 4,550gt, Y726 is one of the largest yachts by volume to be built by the Dutch shipyard. Its striking exterior design by Espen Øino International alongside the warm and refined interior by Mark Berryman Design, with accommodation for up to 28 guests who will be looked after by up to 34 crew. Naval architecture of Y726 has been carried out by Lateral together with Oceanco’s in-house team.
Notable features onboard include a winter garden, covered cocktail area, outdoor cinema, private owner’s area including a jacuzzi, and a multi-purpose entertainment area including a jacuzzi and swimming pool. While inside, there is a cinema lounge, gym, spa with sauna and steam room, and a beach club lounge with bar opening directly onto the swimming platform.
We expect from the new year the unveiling of the interiors of this new Oceanco design.
