She boasts a shallow draft and a flexible internal layout, allowing her to be tailored to meet the needs of her owner.“We managed to create a harmonious synergy in this project thanks to our strong expertise in terms of design, quality and innovation,” commented Giovanni Costantino, founder and CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/318535/image/large-ac19af39d2372bf2e6c84c950f43776a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/318535">Spanning three decks, her interior is characterised by a sporty yet elegant style. A calm colour palette has been paired with an elegant combination of glossy, honey-coloured Canaletto oak and rough sanded light oak, to create a luxurious, but laid back atmosphere for guests onboard.“The interiors of this new line are designed to express a sporty, youthful elegance that is in perfect dialogue with the exterior style.

Particular attention has also been paid to the ergonomic study of all her internal volumes.“Sharp corners have been avoided and all the edges of the surfaces have been gently rounded,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a>. “The design follows a ‘cocooning’ mood, enhanced by the overall atmosphere created by the refined materials.”The main deck of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral</a> Quaranta yacht is home to her saloon and dining area, which includes an advanced games area and three large floor to ceiling windows.

Oceanco 2023 unwrapped: Unveiling 15 Simply Custom superyacht designs

In today’s world, demands on time and attention pull us in countless directions, but the most valuable experiences should simplify life rather than add complexity to it. This should naturally extend to the experience of building and owning a custom yacht.&nbsp;Over recent years the Dutch master yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> has seen more and more owners looking to build custom yachts in a way that reflects their own shifting priorities.There is a new young minded generation of owners coming to the fore, who have a rapid pace of life, prioritise emerging perspectives and values and who have high expectations when it comes to quality and service.It is for these reasons that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> has made the conscious decision to reinforce its presence in the 80-metre market with a bold new proposition, created especially for this clientele. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293443/image/large-991188cc30196c698dc8aac30fbeebe5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293443">Pedigree Custom goes StreamlinedSimply Custom offers the opportunity to acquire a yacht with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>’s outstanding pedigree, while streamlining the process and focusing on what matters most to today’s owners.

Owners still want the very best quality in their yachts, and to have something designed and built just for them. But they have less desire to focus on every detail in the process. They expect to entrust technical matters to experts like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> and our partners. And, perhaps most importantly, they want building a yacht to be simple and fun.

As a smart person once put it, everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. The Simply Custom yachts themselves are still complex, beautiful machines, but we wanted to make the experience of building them as enjoyable as possible for the client,” explained James Roy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293444/image/large-855579f9f96e689839a184fdf6b84e9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293444">Delivery on Every LevelThe technical foundation has been optimised to undertake even the most demanding of programs, ensuring a Simply Custom yacht delivers on every level.
