Oceanbird was designed by Mauro Micheli of Officina Italiana Design while her builder, Sanlorenzo, completed her naval architecture. She recently underwent a refit at the Lusben Shipyard in Livorno, where she was repainted from her original dark green hull to a dark blue one.
The 499 GT superyacht features the model’s signature extended stern area, which features a tender garage and a large beach club that opens to port, starboard and transom. On her main deck, Oceanbird has a large pool with a translucent bottom, which provides natural light to her beach club below. Equipped with twin MTU 12V 4000 M93L diesel engines, Oceanbird has a top speed of 17 knots and a transatlantic range of 4,400 nautical miles while cruising at 11 knots.
