Oceanco made its presence felt at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Boat Show by showcasing its full range of 60m, 80m, 90m, 110m and 120m projects as well as its impressive scale models with a hybrid propulsion system option ensuring minimum fuel use and maximum power. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130676/image/large-1626be6996684c63f5c587dd008fa8c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130676">The Oceanco stand was very well visited. Its latest yacht under construction, the 85.60m Igor Lobanov-designed Y708 which is available for delivery in 2012, attracted particular interest. She complies with the latest environmental regulations and engineering standards whilst providing for extreme comfort and luxury. One of her most innovative features is a completely private owner’s deck. Also, as with previous Oceanco yachts, her spacious swimming pool converts into a helicopter landing area. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130677/image/large-6101716459e0bc9e0f8acfb109bdf789.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130677"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130678/image/large-0a97b106b879e65df6c7a17dd04ad63a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130678">During a high-profile launch event on the first day of the show, Oceanco disclosed its collaboration with Weyves Couture and Elie Saab, the world-renowned Lebanese couturier, for the development and realization of a unique 117m project. The magnificent 117m (384.78ft) ES117 megayacht is as impressive in its dimensions as in the elegance of its design. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130679/image/large-ee121c6babb7272d12315575b9c728a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130679">On display at the Oceanco stand were also the 110m Sam Sorgiovanni design (PA104) and the 120m (PA122) designed by Nuvolari &amp; Lenard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130680/image/large-b6a23a0b55db457457ac07377b048ee6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130680">All projects displayed the characteristics that distinguish Oceanco’s reputation for innovative design, smart engineering and advanced technology carefully tuned to the lifestyle of her owner.

MTT-Shield: Nobiskrug and Messerschmitt Yacht Design unveil new 79m superyacht concept

Award-winning French yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/53" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Philippe Briand Ltd. (Company)">Philippe Briand</a> has unveiled the first renderings of his new 60-metre sailing yacht concept Kaze. Inspired by the Japanese word for wind, Kaze harnesses wind power for her propulsion to create a hybrid sailing yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261397/image/large-f1bd2456822632f67a925c01142b670f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261397">The ketch yacht, Kaze is able to accommodate different sailing programs with three different versions of rigs available, ranging from classic to the highest tech. Her design allows her to combine modern technology with timeless principles, alongside a Panamax rig design for easy access under the Bridge of the Americas on the Panama Canal.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261375/image/large-58f9f56f0a0f0badfab3c6fd6ce13657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261375">“There are so many good reasons to choose ketch rig over that of a towering sloop,” said Briand. “While we can design and engineer large sloops to cope with the massive rig loads, they still make unwieldy and intimidating boats to sail. Where’s the pleasure, the joy, the accessibility? If you want a yacht to be comfortable for living and sailing, it makes sense to start from a ketch design, for a 499 GT." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261376/image/large-0f2865d9d3be337dacdbfb1050086406.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261376">Kaze features a bespoke interior that embodies the needs and desires of the owner, by Italy-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>. “When I imagined and designed the interiors of Kaze, I wanted to achieve an ideal purity and a &nbsp;connection to nature, without taking away the feeling of being on a sailing boat and nowhere else,” explained Francesca Muzio of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261380/image/large-55d2cdbdc981145d99127be8e2cbb316.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261380">“I wanted the aura of sportiness whilst also creating a comfortable and snug environment. A space where the owner and guests can feel at home and not be afraid to use it. As well as, a space for relaxing and admiring the beautiful views.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261394/image/large-15ad4c480fa17bf800ec37dd7cdb6b35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261394">The 499 GT sailing yacht has a large focus on luxurious living, with her interior design displaying elements of a motor yacht, with the additional feature of being close to the sea. Kaze features a wide aft beam to provide stability and allow for a large beach club.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261401/image/large-60d59ea2809129d2fdd291690194a885.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261401"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261400/image/large-89f20a908c614f658321b25bce34778f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261400"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261381/image/large-6b7323a5b17b75dd1662f4552696edfd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261381">“We wanted to create a fluid connection between areas,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>. “The main saloon, the veranda and the aft open area become one beautiful living space that gives fluidity and creates a seamless succession of indoor and outdoor spaces giving an airy and light feeling to the whole vessel. The mast is also surrounded by glass and creates a magical view on the sails.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261399/image/large-81464eb048447df6befc2c602cb4af50.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261399"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261379/image/large-0e5896ca86232dc5f837d053d3cac144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261379">Kaze boasts a 68 square-metre sundeck with a swimming pool aft, and foldable wings to expand her exterior space.

The carbon fibre used to build the masts has been inserted into her bespoke furniture, both indoor and outdoor while her large windows can also be lowered to allow for a natural breeze while onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261386/image/large-712c0a6f2dbe51de5fdad1bf35d4e699.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261386">Kaze uses the wind as her main propulsion source, allowing guests to cruise in tranquillity with the sound of the ocean against the yacht. The use of wind, even for her batteries, provides a quieter atmosphere, powered entirely by nature and helps to build on the philosophy of a greener future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261388/image/large-bf164b52b403106637d3c3da6d661e69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261388">Kaze is already beyond the concept stage, with technical input from a range of key experts including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> on the specifications for the three rig options.

The innovative trimaran concept features a wave-piercing hull with inspiration taken from the original Star Trek USS Enterprise starship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261497/image/large-a194af772f8d5166bcec31d1aa6cc7fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261497">Enterprise was designed in full by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6867" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="M51 Concepts (Company)">M51 Concepts</a> after designer Anthony Glasson spent time onboard the 84.04-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Echo Yachts (Company)">Echo</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="White Rabbit61.4m (201'5&quot;)North West Bay Yachts Pty Ltd2005">White Rabbit</a>.

The gap between these two spaces is further bridged by her forward lounge that opens up onto the outdoor deck area with alfresco dining and a hot tub.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261493/image/large-8d98bb2073ccf57b3c80babf832340d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261493">Enterprise offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in eight suites comprising of a large full-beam owners’ stateroom and seven remaining guest staterooms offering a flexible accommodation layout.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/56543" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium (2022-12-09 13:45:00 +0100)">Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261487/image/large-d608493dded210c74152307cc5ab7c45.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261487"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261495/image/large-49fdde0ad3d13575c880151dd2c496ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261495"></a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261492/image/large-d3deee90c2bd473185e132822d1d5c76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261492">Some of the key features onboard Enterprise include her aft courtyard with a full gym and day lounge with a glass partition for a climate-controlled environment and 180 degree views.

This space can be configured to suit the owner’s requirements with the option of a helicopter hanger or tender garage. There is also easy access for toys and tenders with large aft facing doors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261484/image/large-24ed7308be09a50f9cd3f20772492623.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261484">The central hull of Enterprise will be used for guest and crew accommodation while the outer hulls are designed for shop machinery. The trimaran hull will present a few advantages in terms of efficiency and is predicted to reduce fuel consumption by around 30 percent compared to monohulls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261483/image/large-c4d8d89ce5d65bfcc7c5820972f3521f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261483">

Domus Cat uses the skydeck as the prime structure for the crossbeams to allow for an increased area structure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261291/image/large-2905d1f88a2e6def5b9ba38b1e7925fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261291">As a result of these changes, Domus Cat has a larger beam than most catamarans and also opens up a huge space for her owners and guests. The increased beam also equates to more interior volume and deck space, with her main deck on one level with a large aft deck and two side balconies.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261292/image/large-d2d76f570e6fcc63febdd6cae8261682.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261292">Her interior is divided into key areas, with a cinema lounge and dining area connected to her two VIP staterooms. An internal wheelhouse is located on the centreline with access to the spacious deck above, while stairs provide access to the accommodations in the hulls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261293/image/large-17bb65b82e4c66781aaf9526878181c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261293">The portside hull houses her crew, with 44 square-metres of accommodation, storage, and crew services. The starboard side hull is home to additional guest staterooms, services, and technical storage areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261289/image/large-1850797bae4c532ad9df9f1527ddf287.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261289">The upper deck of Domus Cat features outboard shaped helm station and seating areas, as well as a forward deckhouse with a Jacuzzi and plenty of space for guests to relax.

Domus Cat is designed to sail at very low heel angles and is designed with solar power, hydro regeneration, and fuel cells, which her designers say creates an ‘unlimited range’ with ‘zero emissions.’<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261287/image/large-75b539f1fbb2f879669cb498b86d9fd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261287">An optimised system of solar power and battery storage, allows Domus Cat to cruise during daylight hours and then transfer over to her battery system at night.

Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a> has unveiled the first renderings for a new 48.5-metre superyacht concept. The motor yacht was designed with a specific owner in mind who was looking for a more spacious design from his current 35-metre yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260720/image/large-2e9f6b915b88c880e8684f344ab2c08d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260720">The strictly displacement hull measures 48.5-metres in overall length, which becomes 46-metres at the waterline. Her hull will be built from steel, while her superstructure will be made of aluminium, with an overall GT of approximately 490 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260722/image/large-ad92f30fb7bdee1f933f4bca4c394d66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260722">“The hypothetical profile of this 48-metre yacht is a ‘classic trending to modern’ style,” commented designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch. Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a>. “We were expressly asked for a semi-vertical bow and other specific choices such as large free areas in her flybridge. The relationship with the water is therefore mainly experienced through the large aft swim platform and its comfortable and inviting access to the sea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260718/image/large-0ff1a58fb8b29d9b60a500d43c0bbc18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260718">The owner requested a larger yacht around 50-metres that would allow them to better enjoy their large family during the summer holidays and had some very specific requests for her design. “There had to be large windows, the owner's suite had to be located on the main deck towards the bow, with the four guest and four crew cabins on the lower deck, and the captain's quarters had to be on the upper deck,” explained designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch.

She also has another 7-metre saloon on her upper deck. “Obviously, at this stage we haven't considered any furniture arrangements,” continued <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch.

Additional exterior features showcase a larger pool aft for guests to use; this will sit above the deep bathing platform, which dramatically extends when the two bulwarks are folded down, creating twin balconies just above the sea. This has been likened to a private beach resort by the Turkish shipyard and is a notable revelation.&nbsp;Internally, the interior space will feature a unique owner’s suite with a private patio cocooning the owner's exclusive deck, which is highlighted as “the pearl of these yachts, particularly onboard the 42-metre and 50-metre” , says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4304" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Vallebona (Company)">Luca Vallebona.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260643/image/large-7e2f3e63d9eb7c2cf86c86d2cb0a183d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260643">This private space expanding the owner’s suite will be adorned with soothing plants and receives natural light from above and from the side.

Verticality is a dimension that is not so often seen on a yacht, especially in a 50m.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260645/image/large-5c6390ea683bea27211c61e5b8fc3fbd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260645">With an understanding that younger owners are more enthusiastic about water sports, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena Yachts</a> has designed an impressive storage space for a large tender and toys.

Her curves do not make her overly feminine because there is a masculine quality to her bold, forthright architecture. Apart from the deck surfaces themselves, not one surface is flat or brutally geometric, which provides a unique aesthetic that sets Aeolus apart,” added Giles Taylor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260233/image/large-1c479b9790926e0b3f510d8958a6496c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260233">The master suite features unobstructed views, a stunning sunken bath and a private seating nook for quiet contemplation.

After attempting to meet up during a very busy boot Dusseldorf, we finally had the chance to sit down with Nick Gelevert, Founder and CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6127" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boatsters Black (Company)">Boatsters Black</a> over Teams in early February. Nick comes from a long line of yacht brokers, his grandfather Hans Lengers founding the Netherlands’ first brokerage. Today Nick is both the CEO of the ‘first Dutch superyacht charter company’ <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6127" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boatsters Black (Company)">Boatsters Black</a> with seven international offices and an impressive portfolio of pedigree yachts, and the Sales Director of brokerage firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/359" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lengers Yachts (Company)">Lengers</a>. With expansion always on his mind, Nick has much in store for the boutique charter firm. SYT found out more. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262239/image/large-028247e85db04278e4d7d6c2adfec517.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262239">With a legacy of brokerage in your family, was it always your plan to become a broker?I was born and raised in the midst of the yachting industry, and of course it came to my mind from a young age that I might work in the industry as well. My grandfather started selling yachts in the 1970s and there was also a boat building business within the family, so yachting is truly part of my family heritage. When the time came for me to start my first business however, I decided to break from the family tradition and I founded a company within the real estate industry. I think it was partly a youthful rebellion – I was only 23 – but I quickly realised that I’d made a mistake not following my passion for the yachting industry.I had been an active and competitive sailor from the age of eight, racing every week, and of course having grown up within my family, yachting was truly where my heart lay. So I &nbsp;decided to pivot the concept I’d created within the real estate industry, and do something similar within yachting. The business became <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6127" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boatsters Black (Company)">Boatsters</a>; the first AirBnB for boats. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/69988/image/large-e5de394c61cf3a6b29fbcc9408e9bf14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/69988">So how did an AirBnB for boats transform into a superyacht charter brokerage house?In 2015 we launched the platform and were the first in the world to do so. There were some other early adopters but we grew very quickly, operating in 63 countries with 12,000 boats available for rent. It was a successful beginning but we quickly realised that in order to become a truly profitable business, we would need a huge operational network. Boats are nothing like houses; they need work, maintenance and expansive shoreside support.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/50182/image/large-00c42362b1bed144ada7b119cd9afc4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/50182">Why do you think that the company has done so well – how do you stand out from the crowd?At the same time as I was having these thoughts, clients from Lengers were generating leads and asking questions about Boatsters and enquiring if I could assist them with yacht charter. From these leads came a very organic transition into <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6127" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boatsters Black (Company)">Boatsters Black</a>, where we began to work with crewed yachts above 20-metres. Not long after this transition, we took Boatsters offline and I focused my energies on the development of the superyacht charter business. Since that decision we’ve opened international offices, are managing some very exciting yachts and expect to double our fleet in 2023. The company is positive and profitable and with the direction we’re currently going, we will be one of the top players in the charter industry within a few years.&nbsp;I believe that our approach is what makes us stand out. We are a boutique charter company, and we don't have aspirations to be the biggest, we want to provide the best service to a limited number of clients. We have regular contact with owners, we offer a personal concierge service for onshore support, we are incredibly active and make our clients really feel how much we value them. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216778/image/large-e3b74dc8cf7cf04994e4b19dd6e7c678.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216778">What has it been like breaking into an industry that has been dominated by long standing and large companies, such as&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a>?When we set out we knew it would be like David and Goliath, but I have always enjoyed a challenge. My aspiration when we set out was to establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6127" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boatsters Black (Company)">Boatsters Black</a> as the industry’s first Dutch charter house, just as my grandfather was the first Dutch broker. I am happy to say we’ve achieved that goal and now we are looking to the next challenge.&nbsp;The yachting industry has an obsession with being the biggest, with companies claiming ‘the biggest charter fleet’ or the most charters completed, but what does that actually mean for the client? Very likely it means an impersonal approach, with yachts being managed by a conglomerate rather than a person &nbsp;– we do not aspire to become that kind of business!&nbsp;What are your plans for the future for the business?The next stage is expansion. We’ve built a base from which the company can grow exponentially and my attention first will be to make sure that our services are the best they can be. We aren’t going to be accepting any and all boats to the fleet, but really making sure that the yacht is able to offer clients the best services, with a stable crew and good knowledge base.&nbsp;In 2022 we had a revenue of over €12 million and with an expansion into the full spectrum of services including crewing and management, I expect that to see a stable increase this year. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216755/image/large-6c1f9a59bba24e5170d83edfc3039cf0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216755">Finally, what advice would you give to an aspiring entrepreneur?Firstly, focus on an aspect of this industry and be the best at that aspect. There are so many generalists within yachting and what there needs to be is more specialists. Secondly, know your product better than your client, there are too many brokers out there who don't truly understand superyachts and that does a disservice to clients and dissuades people from remaining in yachting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262241/image/large-7cb830fd8f9d3ab3775a8b19035afdb5.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262241">Nick GelevertAge: 32Nationality: DutchSales revenue last 36 months: €200 million&nbsp;Company founded: 2014This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-44" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 44 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.&nbsp;To read more stories like this one and to never again miss another issue of the SuperYacht Times newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">subscribe here</a>.
