An alternative exterior profile option displays a dark blue hull colour for Volare&nbsp;instead. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330338/image/large-08259b1c58d99643453868ed0101279e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330338">The Simply Custom Collection was first announced at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/183" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 2023">Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2023</a> and has been engineered to provide designers with a canvas to help create a bespoke <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/oceanco" target="_blank">Oceanco</a> yacht.

Volare: The 87m Oceanco Simply Custom superyacht designed by Luiz de Basto

The design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> has released the details of their 80-metre superyacht concept, Valiant, at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show</a> 2024. The vessel is characterised by her Japandi-style interiors, as well as her blend of "technical innovation with timeless beauty", according to the studio. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330252/image/large-d87bf9258997485d328d5aa5a7b84c6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330252">Valiant&nbsp;is christened after the iconic British Navy ship, paying tribute to nautical tradition while paving the way for modernity. With spatial connectivity at the core of her design, Valiant's&nbsp;expansive interiors are developed to flow into one another, even as they maintain a sense of privacy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330251/image/large-544f84801cd222cfe60d68782dc3b7c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330251"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330254/image/large-f5227d04fd423af74109f266a5106d85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330254">Described as a fusion of "Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth", the indoor living areas exude a Zen-like state through subtly integrated luxury materials and open transitions between rooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330284/image/large-a1f2fea598e52cc87ec6217df1609279.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330284">One of Valiant's&nbsp;highlights is her beach club that leads to guest areas along with other decks. Created for comfort regardless of weather conditions, the beach club is where the exterior and interior merges, as guests are invited to swim in the infinity pool with both internal and external areas. The beach club also boasts a spa that is placed over the water for guests to admire the outdoor views within a calming, private sanctuary. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330286/image/large-92b8683513edc3fee8692abb91966737.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330286">Another space optimised for outside views is the forward-facing owner's suite, complete with an exterior Jacuzzi and dedicated outdoor area, so that owners can enjoy a panorama of vistas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330300/image/large-d0e180f1992a4b3e2fb30ef585458194.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330300"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330297/image/large-1b23b8ca259c58b9bdc7e0e318b45656.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330297">Valiant's&nbsp;dining table, situated laterally, is accompanied by an open kitchen and curved glass windows for further synthesis with the seascape, as well as an abundance of natural light. Moreover, the dining area benefits from a connected balcony to amplify the alfresco dining experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330296/image/large-75a77aad25cbc1602cddf69ce0862b02.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330296"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330291/image/large-edfddd9583237fa063bc5f179d725cbb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330291">Moving to the superyacht's main saloon, the social hub lends itself to convivial gatherings or independent relaxation, providing direct access to the lower deck. As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> states, "the salon's expansive design fosters a sense of openness while maintaining an intimate, luxurious atmosphere for guests to enjoy during their time aboard."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330295/image/large-2dcedb2d5fb465cc07540981d7754180.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330295"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330285/image/large-17e4b7e6d6fced1f6b510d71167216de.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330285">Valiant&nbsp;is also decked out in a number of tenders and toys, so that guests can participate in water-based activities, without interfering with the aesthetic of the yacht's silhouette. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330255/image/large-d24263e5748e3ead15daff2cc2c1aaef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330256/image/large-3aedd76429ce208aefa4340e387f3723.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330256">Another key feature onboard Valiant&nbsp;is her staircase fitted with eye-catching crystal and gold detailing, which plays with the light, serving as a visual connection between the superyacht's different living spaces. In addition, the raised wheelhouse not only enhances operational efficiency, but also contributes to the overall style of Valiant.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330292/image/large-f0dce436a9e3fe6ab829e22e4c6121b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330292"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330253/image/large-6d55ed76b4c359816506f73e8b0a8b1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330253">

The studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> has unveiled the details of their new 52-metre superyacht concept Ligeia, which is inspired by “nature’s fluidity and seamless harmony with the environment”, according to the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329733/image/large-ee9034f4341f7b69a0439b9be7d23a1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329733">From the outside, Ligeia’s sleek and elongated lines mimic the gracefulness of sea waves, while encapsulating their dynamic movement even when still. Despite being described as “low-profile”, the exterior silhouette also makes an impression through bold yet harmonious curves that synthesise with one another to “mirror the organic flow of natural elements”, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> says. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329740/image/large-26ee5a7c30bdf0e514a880d77f1066dd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329740">Overall, Ligeia places the interrelationship between form, function, and the natural elements at the forefront of her design, resulting in a creation that feels integrated with the ocean. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329735/image/large-34b0f589455453f3acc1fce873a89f14.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329735">Moreover, the vessel’s deck configurations ensure uninterrupted sightlines, as well as a panoramic connection to the surrounding maritime environment, so that the seascape never feels far for those onboard. At a volume of approximately 600 GT, the superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests across her six stateroom layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329738/image/large-54fd42dd560fd8c1ca4bca64def2267e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329738">Ligeia’s aft section is home to a spacious swim platform and tender garage, which resemble a private beach or resort, providing “a direct extension of the yacht into the sea”, as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> explains. Meanwhile, the sundeck’s pool and lounge areas function as a peaceful relaxation space without interfering with the minimalist approach to Ligeria’s design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329736/image/large-f62651c9d62117babc9d650b41e332d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329736">The sundeck’s pool is also unique in that it offers boundless panoramic vision of the scenery, alongside seating and lounging areas, so that guests can enjoy the sun setting in the horizon. On Ligeia’s foredeck, guests are invited to recline in an elevated bow lounge, consisting of secluded seating and more unobstructed views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329734/image/large-85b3a632ff913d07bb61aa0ec521e925.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329734">“From open lounging spaces to entertainment zones, the design encourages a harmonious interaction with the sea, enhancing guest experiences with multifunctional areas that adapt intuitively to a wide range of social or leisure pursuits. This seamless integration of open spaces sets&nbsp;Ligeia apart from traditional designs, where rigid separation often limits potential uses. On Ligeia, every deck invites limitless possibilities for entertainment and personal retreat, all while maintaining a visually cohesive aesthetic,” the designer concludes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329737/image/large-114b71a8d843529b1c7b03abc3a7c8ad.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329737">Where her performance is concerned, Ligeia’s conventional propulsion system delivers a cruising speed of 12 knots along with a top speed of 16 knots.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329739/image/large-334761441b67c3a876e638827c82162c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329739">

"We have created a very simple profile," explained designer Peder Eidsgaard of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidgaard</a>. "We have given her smooth lines that run from her bow and across all three of her tiered decks."Monte Carlo&nbsp;has been specifically designed to appeal to a new generation of owners who are spending more time onboard. With an impressive 11.5-metre beam, her interior configuration showcases open spaces to direct the eye through the length of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329279/image/large-e7b0a81a664265ea770fde1ec4f58bb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329279">The yacht features a four deck arrangement, with an entire deck dedicated to the owners suite on the upper deck. The remaining guest accommodation will be split across the main and lower decks, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Eidsgaard</a>’s design proposing a mix of up to five spacious VIP staterooms and comfortable double staterooms for the accommodation of up to 14 guests."We moved the guest staterooms up to the main deck, which allowed us to move &nbsp;the master suite up above to provide the owner with a great view forward and a penthouse feel. The suite includes a forward-facing bed, his-and-hers wardrobes, an owner's office and a Jacuzzi on her foredeck," commented Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329281/image/large-0f898ed0f3a0233f0706b11f54b17861.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329281">The superyacht will be one of the largest yacht's by volume ever built in Oss. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CEO, Niels Vaessen, explained that the design is a direct response to trends they are currently seeing in the market. “It is unusual for us to build a four-decker, but we have had a few requests for such a boat from former clients, so it made sense to create one. We are addressing a key market of owners that are looking to maximise space and experience on board to share with family and friends.”Peder Eidsgaard highlighted that the owner’s deck offers supreme privacy and could be utilised in different ways depending on their reference. “It is a very open master suite, with the bathtub, shower and office all interconnected,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329280/image/large-d733ce7e3d20a41971a74d33ee1225c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329280">“The benefit of this arrangement is that an incoming owner can easily toy with the space devoted to each area. The potential is huge; you expand the master suite to include a private foredeck with its own sundeck, Jacuzzi and a fold-down balcony to starboard. From his/her office, the owner can walk straight out onto the balcony and take a seat.”Monte Carlo's design&nbsp;includes a large 23-square-metre pool, with glass sides giving the impression that you are swimming in the sea and fold-down wings on the aft deck that allow you to sit right over the water. This multi-level space also has direct access to the wellness centre below, which is equipped with a large gym, sauna, juice bar and hammam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329282/image/large-0992a6b0b1763ba0d7e3273ec8f38a1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329282">Other key spaces include a ‘beach lounge’ on the main deck, where low-slung sofas offer an informal dining area for up to 14 guests, with sliding doors again connecting the yacht to its surroundings. There is also a firepit observation lounge under the mast, an outdoor kitchen, and a semi-open sky lounge seating area, including a hidden pop-up TV for movie nights."Her multi-level roof top terrace offers guests a great view of the horizon, with her seating area and firepit providing the perfect spot for relaxation. Her awning hoop also allows guests to enjoy the stars at night and can be closed in the day time for protection from the sun," added Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329283/image/large-b5678775dbec9d28a808c083b261d22c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329283">The yacht’s beach club is also ideal for launching water toys, and its impressive storage will ensure that Project Monte-Carlo can be equipped with the latest toys available, including e-foils, wave runners and a diving kit. Additionally, the yacht has storage for two tenders, which are used for easy excursions back to the shore.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329278/image/large-20bb5d97e52e0de451726cd1b49e39e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329278">The yacht has also been designed alongside <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s BlueNautich strategy, and is technically enabled for serial hybrid propulsion, with space for a large battery bank. It also has a methanol-ready tank layout for future conversion to hydrogen combustion or even a fuel cell.
