Oceanco's New 364-Foot Megayacht Is One of Its Largest Vessels Yet
Oceanco's newest fleet member is one for the books.
The simply named Y726 measures an imposing 364 feet, making it one of the largest vessels the Dutch shipyard has built to date. The newly launched megayacht will embark on sea trials in the coming months before it is officially delivered later this year, according to a statement shared by Oceanco on Saturday.

Commissioned in 2022 by an experienced yachter and loyal Oceanco client, the custom cruiser showcases a striking exterior by Espen Øino International and an upscale interior by Mark Berryman Design. The naval architecture was executed by Lateral Naval Architects, the Oceanco team, and the owner's long-time yachting representative, Dan Jackson, of Falcon Yacht Management.
'This project is the result of bold design ambition and robust engineering,' Lateral's programme director, Lee Archer, said in a statement. 'Through close collaboration with Oceanco and the project's design partners, Y726 stands as a testament not only to engineering enabling design at the highest level, but also to the power of collaboration as a catalyst for excellence.'
Y726 has a beam of roughly 52 feet and an impressive displacement of 4,550 GT, meaning it ranks as one of the biggest Oceanco yachts by volume. The largest motor yacht in the Dutch yard's fleet is Infinity. Delivered in 2022, the epic 384-footer has a beam of 53 feet and a volume of 4,978 GT. Y726 is big, but Infinity is bigger. Oceanco is also behind the tallest sailing ship in the world, the 417-foot Koru, which reportedly belongs to billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Y726 offers more than just an incredible amount of space, of course. The newcomer is brimming with lavish amenities. The light and airy interior features a cinema lounge, a gym, a spa with sauna and steam room, and a beach club with a bar that opens directly onto the outdoor swim platform. The exterior is also home to an idyllic winter garden, a covered cocktail area, an outdoor cinema, a private owner's area with a Jacuzzi, and a multi-purpose entertainment zone with another Jacuzzi and a swimming pool. To top it off, the megayacht offers swish accommodations for up to 28 guests and 34 crew.
'From the outset, Y726 has benefited from a deeply collaborative, trusting, and positive spirit,' adds Oceanco's project director, Edske Smit. 'She is set to be a standout addition to the Oceanco fleet, and we're grateful for the strong partnerships with our co-makers, design team, and the owner's team that brought this vision to life.'
As we said, Y726 is one for the books.
