The Collection
To kick off the Simply Custom offering, Oceanco has collaborated with 17 top-tier studios to create what is surely the largest portfolio of yacht designs ever produced for a single technical foundation. Set to be revealed in the near future, The Collection showcases exteriors penned by long- established, award-winning designers alongside a new generation of creative talents.
It is intended to provide inspiration for a full spectrum of tastes and lifestyles, with a solid appreciation for how today’s yacht owners want to spend their time onboard. And to enhance the inspiration of owners on their Simply Custom journey, Oceanco has partnered with five interior design studios. Typically configured with an owner’s stateroom and six guest suites, Simply Custom’s flexible layout allows for additional suites, multipurpose lounges, an inside or outside cinema, a wellness area and gym.
