What motivated the decision to start your own venture after such a successful tenure at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>?I had the most incredible time working at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>, working with an incredible team and meeting some amazing people along the way. I was very lucky to have been exposed to so many game-changing projects such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4795" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Black Pearl106.7m (350'1&quot;)Oceanco2018">Black Pearl</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6426" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nord141.63m (464'8&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Nord</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DAR90.13m (295'8&quot;)Oceanco2018">Dar</a>. After spending over 20 years at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>, I decided that it was time to make this step myself, as it seemed like the most natural evolution of my career. I’m not normally a brave person when it comes to such life-changing decisions as this, but I knew I could still rely on the support of the people around me. I will continue to collaborate with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>, and we are currently engaged on some very exciting projects. But starting my own studio allows me to also branch out and work with other major designers as well. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/73477/image/large-c07b142a956e019b98afd0f162227290.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/73477">Can you share insights into your design philosophy and how it may have evolved over your career?I believe that design is an evolution and that it should be undertaken together with the client. I am a firm believer in the power of sketching and using my hands to tell my story, it is the purest and most immediate way of translating thoughts into visuals. When I first started there was no technology, so you had to create and build every one of your designs with your hands. All the advances in rendering technologies have unfortunately created the tendency to short-cut these essential steps, which is why it is so important to me to still be able to produce these hand-drawn sketches. By creating these sketches by hand, my vision first starts on a page before your eyes, and then it is replicated as a rendering. Our studio still provides the latest generation with renders, but in due time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179965/image/large-52b83a5fbee5806dd85815f801d758d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179965">How do you approach the balance between aesthetics and functionality in your yacht designs?The functionality of a yacht interior is a given, you can’t have a beautiful yacht without functionality. To be able to do this, you need to understand the way a yacht will be used, not just by the guests, but also by the crew. I like to sit down with the owners and share every moment of my creativity with them to discuss and make sure they are on this journey with you. &nbsp;I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing people and create something that is both fabulous and functional. By sitting down and talking with the client to see what will work, you begin to understand the compromise that needs to be made and can become flexible with your design to build something beautiful. The interior is the primary touch-point for our clients, aesthetics plays a huge role, and together with a first-class interior outfitter, even the most intricate details can be 100 percent functional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/56548/image/large-aa4ca76fe18c63473107ea7f2a9b36df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/56548"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/51084/image/large-d5c2dc3ed6d2dd4b509917ee64c9bb24.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/51084">When collaborating with clients, how do you ensure their vision is translated into the final design while maintaining your creative input?As mentioned above, we like to create endless sketching sessions, in order to get closer and closer to the client’s vision. You have to understand that not all clients have owned a yacht before, and younger clients may have only chartered before and are not familiar with how the process works. When building a yacht, you have to go through a build process to not only make sure it moves and floats, but interacts with the technology and environment onboard. You have to be able to make the client's vision become a reality, so it's important that you all work together. My formation in architecture has taught me the principles of creating spaces, which can then be adapted to the client’s taste. There is no better feeling than stepping onboard a nearly completed yacht to see that your joint design has been created and is now a reality – this is priceless!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257556/image/large-97d94e7e5fa43d471b3c25af4566c89a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257556"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231013/image/large-5d672e35ee85b9433f156b26928c47b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231013"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257522/image/large-1b4c885fa28cf9709657664a93ffe942.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257522">Looking back at your extensive career, which specific project or projects stand out as ones you are most proud of, and what makes them particularly special to you?I have fond memories of the first projects I was lucky to work on with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a> over 20 years ago, and am happy to say that I still stand behind the design decisions I took back then. One of my first projects was a 50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/121" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palmer Johnson Yachts (Company)">Palmer Johnson</a> yacht. It was my first time designing the interior of a yacht and although I was unsure, I knew that the owner’s suite, bathroom and saloon were the most important areas! Thankfully they gave me free reign and they still have pictures of my designs. It also gives me great satisfaction to see that different projects such as, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DAR90.13m (295'8&quot;)Oceanco2018">Dar</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Njoy72.0m (236'3&quot;)CRN2023">Njoy</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8369" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Comfortably Numb60.33m (197'11&quot;)CRN2022">Comfortably Numb</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4795" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Black Pearl106.7m (350'1&quot;)Oceanco2018">Black Pearl</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1537" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Man of Steel86.01m (282'2&quot;)Oceanco2010">Seven Seas</a> and many more, all carry the same DNA that marks my style.&nbsp;I particularly enjoyed the process of designing <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4795" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Black Pearl106.7m (350'1&quot;)Oceanco2018">Black Pearl</a>, as she brought me back to my background knowledge of art. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4795" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Black Pearl106.7m (350'1&quot;)Oceanco2018">Black Pearl</a> is a celebration of historic French-style and I used books and studies in Paris to create her unique design. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DAR90.13m (295'8&quot;)Oceanco2018">Dar</a> is one of my most beloved designs, as she is exactly what I would choose to do if I was looking to design my own superyacht! She features a very timeless floral and feminine design that is not too overly decorated and fits every style. And of course, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahpo115.1m (377'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Ahpo</a> was the peak of my design career. Her interiors are beautiful and everything has been executed to perfection, thanks to a great effort from the whole team involved. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257557/image/large-d57b1dd69bb45706d173f04eb1e48b1a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257557"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266648/image/large-441f1005e534e430d688b5ed348cee0b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266648">When reflecting on your career, are there moments or achievements that bring you a deep sense of pride, not only as a designer, but also as a creative professional in the superyacht industry?The main names in the industry often happen to be men, so it's nice to be able to embrace this role as a female. I grew up in a creative background with the dream at first of wanting to be a ballerina! However, my brother and I were like sponges when it came to anything creative, and we absorbed everything we were taught. When I studied architecture I learnt a lot about understanding spaces and how you have to fill the space, and this has helped me with my designs. I get immense joy from the fact that I have followed my passion and made a good career out of it. I have made mistakes at times, and I have followed roads that have led to nowhere, but I have learnt from them. If I look at the big picture of myself as a designer, I have been very efficient in getting to where I am now – this is what makes me proud.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257508/image/large-4ac20baaf7c90155b5ee3dc8506c0661.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257508">With the superyacht industry constantly evolving, what trends or innovations do you foresee influencing the design landscape, and how do you plan to stay at the forefront of these developments?There is a lot of competition nowadays to create unique and innovative yachts, however, every project is different and every project is a new challenge. I was very lucky when I started out, that I worked for such a noble and prestigious brand, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a>. There has been a rise in more people wanting open spaces onboard, with additions such as large windows and doors. I think it is important to merge the interior and exterior spaces onboard yachts, to bring back the connection between nature and the sea. Moving forward, yachts will be able to travel further in full safety, and living onboard for extended times is a concept that is embraced, especially by the younger generation. Clients are no longer looking for a holiday home that will be used several times a year, but instead a home to be lived in for longer periods of time. This means that we need to be looking for ways to extend their vision of wellbeing, with the use of open spaces and sustainable materials. They want to feel comfortable onboard and the image of living onboard a palace is something that is not always a priority now. I think we’ll all be amazed by the features that will be integrated into yachts in the not too far future. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296130/image/large-752fa42fc97c850f37d6b7ecc4074254.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296130">As you embark on this new chapter with your own yacht design studio, what vision or legacy do you hope to create?Our new studio – <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7424" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Valentina Zannier Interiors & Architecture (Company)">VZ Interiors &amp; Architecture</a>, is located in the beautiful city of Venice in Italy, which gives me inspiration every time I step out of my studio door. My clients enjoy the same sensation when we spend time here together, which ends up in very fruitful design sessions. As I mentioned before, sustainability is important to me, so I am already implementing more sustainable materials into my designs. Being located in Venice also helps me to build a beautiful relationship with local artisans to source the best materials for the job. We are very proud that we have the opportunity to export this magic worldwide via the projects we are involved in!

Currently out on the North Sea conducting her first sea trials is the impressive 106-metre sailing yacht project Y712. The Oceanco-built super sailor was launched in September last year, which, at the time, was the Dutch shipyard’s largest project. A few months later, and the new 110-metre Y714, launched earlier this week, now claims that spot.

The SYT team met up with Y712 over the icy waters of the North Sea outside Rotterdam today where they captured the following images. For the first time we get a glimpse of her on-deck features and generous outdoor guest areas. Enjoy!

Exclusive: 106m sailing yacht Y712 out on sea trials

Launched last month, the 106-metre sailing yacht project Y712 remains tied up at Oceanco’s superyacht facility near Rotterdam where the yacht recently had her three advanced DynaRig masts stepped. The project is the largest yacht designed by the Italian design duo at Nuvolari Lenard, who has worked with Oceanco before on superyachts such as Alfa Nero and Seven Seas. The design studio brought their usual Italian flair to the table and managed to hide the vessel’s impressive 2,700 GT volume in a sleek and well-proportioned design.

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YsXFR2cmuRU" width="560"></iframe>

The yacht's DynaRig setup was designed and optimised by Dykstra Naval Architects, who were also responsible for the naval architecture of the project. Technically considered the largest sailing yacht in the world, Y712 will certainly cause a stir once she is operational with full sails deployed on her maiden voyage.

The 66 metre Invictus, seen here alongside at Fort Lauderdale’s Pier 66 marina, is designed by The Delta Design Group who were responsible for both the naval architecture and exterior styling. Built by Delta Marine of Seattle, she features an interior by Diane Johnson of Diane Johnson Design. Invictus has an ice-strengthened steel hull and with her composite superstructure allows for an enormous interior volume of 1943 GT making her one of the largest yachts in her size range .

Delta Marine’s superyacht Invictus in Fort Lauderdale

Following her unveiling last week, Dutch shipyard Oceanco has launched its largest yacht near Rotterdam today as the 106-metre sailing yacht Project Y712 is lowered into the water for the first time today. The mysterious bow cover was removed revealing a radical wave-slicing stem.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162071/image/large-dde1cd1073bc6e699cb6fd7991beba70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162071">

The deign studio brought their usual Italian flair to the table and managed to hide the vessel’s impressive 2,700 GT volume in a sleek and well-proportioned design.

The next stage of the project will be the stepping of the yacht’s three Dyna-Rig masts, similar to that of the Maltese Falcon.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162073/image/large-0caa6019e51e81ce47affa829fdfee1c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162073">

Known for now only by her project name of Y712, the yacht is technically the largest private sailing yacht in the world, designed to travel under the power of her sails alone. The enormous 142.8-metre Sailing Yacht A, on the other hand, is classed as a sail-assisted motor vessel. Despite these technicalities, the two vessels are without a doubt some of the most advanced projects to have been completed over the last 24 months and are certainly set to contribute to the developments in the build, design and conception of superyachts for many years to come.

The Top 100 largest superyachts in the world

We take a closer look at the ten largest superyachts ever built in the Netherlands, with the largest being 99 metres long. Only three yards make up for the top 10 (or we should say top 12, because there are two yachts in the list with the same length). Oceanco takes the lead, with 6 of their yachts making their way into the Top 10, followed by Feadship with 4 deliveries. Royal Huisman's Athena is the only sailing yacht in the list.    <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146737/image/large-ce428cf5020028a98c0b8e328a59d9fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/145547">1 - <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2074" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">M</a><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2074" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">adame Gu </a>- 99 metre Feadship - 2013 (Rank in the overall <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/41572" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Top 100</a>: 29)The 99-metre masterpiece Madame Gu was created by the Feadship yard in Makkum and is also the largest superyacht ever built in the Netherlands.

The 85.4 metre superyacht Seven Seas

Emre Yildirim of Turkish design firm Nod Design has send us renderings of their latest project, XE-90. XE-90 is a ninety metre superyacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. According to the designer, the design of the yacht is based on the dynamism and fluid lines of car aesthetics. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137023/image/large-70daf9d4da933daa83250b83eb2baf92.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137023">The yacht is designed to offer accommodation for up to 14 guests, in a large upper deck owner’s cabin, and 6 guest cabins on the lower deck. The lower deck also houses the yachts tenders, forward of the yacht’s wellness area, that opens up to folding balconies. The main feature on the main deck is a large infinity swimming pool, a feature we have also seen on other yachts in this size range, such as Oceanco’s Alfa Nero and Seven Seas. The designers tell us they have incorporated panaromic windows and several balcony features, to create areas where guests can have an indoor/outdoor experience. The yacht also features a helipad, located on the foredeck. Although still early in the design stage, the XE-90 project so far looks very promising.

Superyacht Seven Seas passing through the Corinth Canal

The spectacular 86m/282.16ft Seven Seas was successfully delivered one month ahead of schedule to her owner in November 2010. Built under the project name Y706, this stunning yacht follows in the legacy of Oceanco’s thriving “Y700” generation that includes award-winning yachts such as Amevi, Alfa Nero, Anastasia, Vibrant Curiosity and Sunrays. Oceanco, in combination with the owner’s representatives, Wright Maritime Group, designers Nuvolari &amp; Lenard, Azure Naval Architects and interior decorator, Molly Isaksen, has created an outstanding masterpiece. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135832/image/large-12f2670210746a590e609d0fe0997f7c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133615">Modern lines and a contemporary style define this elegant yacht and with a beam of 14.20m/46.59ft, she boasts extraordinary volumes. Oceanco’s Seven Seas features spacious accommodations and extensive amenities—including the latest entertainment systems—for twelve guests in four large guest suites and two luxurious VIP suites. The upper deck forward of the atrium, exclusively for the owner’s use, extends outside past a plunge pool to a foredeck which, thanks to a mooring deck below, is free of clutter or equipment. This area, accessed solely from the owner’s area is totally private. Seven Seas also has Oceanco’s signature infinity swimming pool on the aft deck that can be conveniently transformed into a helipad. However, an innovative highlight is a projector, which will throw an image onto the aft glass wall of the pool allowing one to take in the latest movie while a swim at sea or on the quay. Furthermore, the main salon is fully equipped with a professional projection system and a 5 x 2m/16 x 6.56ft screen which, coupled with two rows of raked seating, can transform into a screening theatre. Adjacent to the main salon is an imposing 250m² area, which can host everything from casual al fresco dining to a black-tie gala. Seven Seas, powered by dual 4,680hp/3,492 kW MTU engines can reach speeds of up to 20 knots providing both performance and comfort. The yacht has an extensive list of amenities including a wide array of water sport toys and tenders such as her custom enclosed 10.5m/34.45ft limo tender and custom 9.2m/30.18ft open sport boat. Seven Seas is fitted with the latest audio visual entertainment systems as well as the most technologically advanced communications systems. Oceanco is proud to present this magnificent yacht and latest delivery at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show (21 to 24 September; berth R01). Visits on board will be by invitation only.

Oceanco superyacht Seven Seas arrives in Gibraltar

Three months after the successful delivery of the 86 metre Seven Seas, Oceanco loaded its latest custom superyacht, the 85.6 metre Y708, into its shed for the finishing phases. Oceanco collaborated with its exclusive Dutch hull-builder Zwijnenburg as well as Aluship Technology to build the steel hull and aluminum superstructure respectively. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134138/image/large-34ef6f3fcf68fa9fbf60970a2a0598b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/134138">Y708’s sleek silhouette, possessing the smooth exterior lines by Igor Lobanov, compliments her projected modern interior design by Alberto Pinto. In addition to Oceanco’s in-house build and engineering team, the interior construction benefits from the partnership with renowned Northern-European interior specialists. Along with living and entertaining spaces, the accommodations afford the owner of Y708 two private connected decks: one comprises a sumptuous master stateroom with exterior balcony, a fully equipped gym, an exclusive hammam and beauty salon. The other is his private sun deck, with whirlpool and sun loungers. In addition to the master stateroom, there are six luxury cabins: two VIP suites with private balconies and four spacious doubles. Y708, characterized by sophisticated styling, exemplifies Oceanco’s dedication to continuous research in design and innovation. Y708 will feature the Environmental Protection notation from Lloyd’s Registry that serves as a mark of environmental quality. Y708 is scheduled to be completed by November 2012.Oceanco +377 9310 0281 <a href="mailto:oceanco@oceanco.mc?subject=Oceanco%20Y708%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">oceanco@oceanco.mc</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oceancoyacht.com/">www.oceancoyacht.com</a>Photo by Pamela Jones

Oceanco complete superyacht Sunrays (Y705)

Oceanco’s new 86m steel hull Y706 arrived at the company’s shipyard in Alblasserdam, The Netherlands, on Saturday 21 March. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/127415/image/large-bbebbb5851e24ae54ffba143ef03e5d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127415">Transported by barge in the short distance from Oceanco’s exclusive hull builders Zwijnenburg BV, the Y706 hull was upon its arrival joined with her two-part tri-deck aluminium superstructure with meticulous precision. Following an inclination test, the complete structure was loaded in her finishing bay alongside the 85.5m Y705, which will be Oceanco’s end-2009 delivery. This spectacular new Oceanco superyacht designed by Nuvolari &amp; Lenard features several special elements that ensure life on board will be as pleasant as possible. The main salon includes a state of the art entertainment area complete with a 5m x 2m Panavision movie format screen. One of her most astounding features will surely be the 80-inch television set which folds out from the ceiling of the exterior aft main deck and swivels positions to accommodate all al-fresco viewing options. The vast open area on the aft main deck also hosts a 6.5m x 3.5m swimming pool which, at the touch of a button transforms into a helipad or an entertainment area, a feature first perfected on the legendary Alfa Nero. Y706 will include a spacious master stateroom with a study and a private exterior deck area with a pool, a VIP suite with his &amp; her bathrooms, two double VIP suites, one twin VIP cabin and two double guest cabins. The contemporary interior will feature walnut, teak, mahogany and rosewood interspersed with natural materials, fabrics and colours. Y706’s much anticipated delivery is scheduled at the end of 2010.
