The EPOQ series marks a new chapter for the shipyard, introducing a semi-custom platform designed to make its craftsmanship and design approach accessible to a wider range of owners while maintaining its focus on quality and personalisation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400565/image/large-20d293054d15a0c0dc6b137139a0f534.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400565">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a>, the concept is aimed at owners who prioritise lifestyle over status. Inspired by the Belle Époque, the yacht reflects the era's sophistication and refined way of life."Today's owners increasingly seek yachts that reflect their lifestyle rather than their status," said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a> CEO Peter Hürzeler. "The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES</a> EPOQ 36&nbsp;delivers exactly that. She is elegant without excess, technically sophisticated without unnecessary complexity, and designed for people who genuinely love spending time at sea."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400566/image/large-63cb2310939097f080c323c6b2af113c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400566">Penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6603" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="STURGE & TOTH (Company)">Sturge &amp; Toth</a>, the exterior reinterprets the classic gentleman's yacht through subtle references to traditional British yacht design rather than direct historical recreation. The generous outdoor spaces have been designed to maximise the guest experience, while the interiors offer a flexible living environment. In the main saloon, loose furniture is paired with traditional wood craftsmanship and contemporary fabrics. This allows owners significant scope for personalisation, even during the later stages of construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400564/image/large-f3a4a613890d066a41292d76abb8cf15.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400564">One of the yacht's standout features is a glass-bottomed Jacuzzi on the sundeck, which also serves as a skylight for the alfresco dining area below. Incorporating switchable liquid-crystal glass technology, it can alternate between transparent and translucent.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400563/image/large-8ffbc700a28713013153529d5d4b8015.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400563">The yacht features a steel displacement hull, paired with low-revving engines. At the heart of EPOQ, however, is her renowned Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), developed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>. Combining the efficiency of a displacement yacht with the performance of a semi-displacement design, the hull reduces fuel consumption while improving cruising efficiency and onboard comfort.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400571/image/large-dc0b102bc8291654051f818c68f998d5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400571">Her lower deck layout has been standardised to optimise build quality while retaining flexibility for owner customisation. "EPOQ was never about adding complexity," concluded designer Benjamin Toth. "Every design decision has been evaluated through the lens of how owners actually use their yachts. The result is a vessel that offers exceptional comfort while remaining practical to own and operate for decades."
