As we reported, 111m (364ft) superyacht PROJECT Y722 only left the shed last week. But now she is already on the move, being transported from Oceanco’s first-phase construction facilities in Zwijndrecht to its outfitting facilities in Alblasserdam and we are excited to be able to share brand new images of this iconic project.

Designed by Oceanco and Espen Øino International with interiors from Mark Berryman Design, Y722 will join a select fleet of privately-owned vessels engaged in scientific research, discovery, and exploration. With this special role in mind, efficiency and the environment have been at the forefront of the design process. At the heart of the yacht is a diesel electric power plant and a large battery energy storage system, which will aid smooth engine operation and allow extended periods of emission-free silent running.

Her design embraces innovative technologies and has had some radical layout changes that will challenge the perception of the “traditional” yacht and ensure she is one of the most comfortable to travel on. Her design is centred around the community onboard with accommodation for 22 guests and 33 crew members.

Instead of separating crew and guest quarters completely, her living spaces – which include a distinctive combined crew mess and dining room – have been devised to create synergy between all those on board and encourage the sharing of ideas and passions. Crew wellbeing is paramount, with enhanced crew accommodation as well as crew gyms and wellness areas.

Marcel Onkenhout, Oceanco CEO, comments: “At Oceanco, we thrive on working with visionary clients and their teams to build yachts that challenge the status quo and look to the future for inspiration. It is very rewarding to be able to collaborate with an owner and their team in such a positive and involved way. From her unique layout and philanthropic operations to her forward-thinking, future-proofed technical capabilities, Y722 is a trailblazer in every aspect.”

After outfitting, final work will be carried out before she undertakes sea trials and commissioning in 2025. We can’t wait for a look inside!
