Dutch yacht builder Oceanco has officially launched Y726, a 111-metre masterpiece that stands as one of the shipyard’s largest and most technically ambitious builds to date. Commissioned in 2022 by a seasoned returning client, Y726 is now entering sea trials, with delivery scheduled for later this year.
With an impressive beam of 16 metres and a gross tonnage of 4,550GT, Y726 is a powerhouse of luxury, functionality, and innovative design. The yacht was designed with extensive collaboration at its core—Espen Øino is behind the elegant exterior lines, while the interiors are imagined by Mark Berryman, renowned for his calming, family-focused approach. Lateral Naval Architects handled naval architecture in partnership with Oceanco’s in-house experts and Dan Jackson of Falcon Yacht Management, representing the owner.
A Floating Private Resort
Y726 is designed to host up to 28 guests and 34 crew, with a layout that balances privacy and expansive leisure. Key onboard features include:
- Cinema lounge
- Wellness area with gym, spa, sauna & steam room
- Beach club with bar opening directly onto the swim platform
- Dual Jacuzzis, a pool, and an outdoor cinema
- Winter garden and covered cocktail areas
- Private owner’s deck with exclusive amenities
The yacht’s unique blend of entertainment and relaxation spaces positions it as a floating sanctuary, made for long-term cruising and immersive experiences.

Wrapped in Art
In an unexpected creative twist, Y726 was spotted during her December 2023 transfer wrapped in graffiti art by Rotterdam-based artist I AM EELCO, giving a playful contrast to her otherwise sophisticated exterior. This temporary look was described as a “cheerful wink” at the otherwise sleek design by Øino.
Built Through Collaboration
