Rotterdam, The Netherlands \u00a0\u2013 \u00a010 August 2025 \u2013 In a bold move that challenges conventional yacht design, Dutch shipyard Oceanco<\/a> has launched superyacht\u00a0LEVIATHAN<\/a>, a 111-metre (364-foot) diesel-electric superyacht conceived with purpose, innovation, and human wellbeing at its core. Formerly known as Project Y722, LEVIATHAN signals a new era for luxury yachting \u2013 one where operational efficiency, sustainability, and crew comfort stand alongside world-class design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A New Philosophy in Superyacht Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional builds, LEVIATHAN was shaped from the inside out, with the crew actively involved from the earliest stages. This unique approach ensured the yacht was not only stunning but also functional for those who live and work aboard.<\/p>\n

Every detail, from materials to onboard systems, was selected to reduce low-value maintenance tasks. Instead of teak decks and polished wooden handrails, Leviathan features composite capping rails, durable honed stone surfaces, natural wool carpets, and full-height glass bulkheads \u2013 enhancing both longevity and aesthetics. This allows the crew to focus on higher-value tasks, from elevating guest experiences to supporting scientific research missions.<\/p>\n

Collaboration at the Core<\/strong><\/p>\n

With exterior styling by Oceanco, interiors by Mark Berryman Design, and naval architecture developed in partnership with Lateral Naval Architects<\/a>, Leviathan\u2019s creation was a deeply collaborative process.<\/p>\n

The owner played an active role in steering the design toward its guiding philosophy. This spirit of teamwork is permanently celebrated onboard: a glass panel engraved with the names of over 2,000 contributors stands in the main staircase, serving as a tribute to the human hands and minds behind the vessel.<\/p>\n
