The tall red cranes in the foreground of the photo here may block part of your view of the newest Oceanco, Y706, but you can still tell her styling is unmistakably from the drawing boards of Nuvolari & Lenard. The 86-meter (282-foot) megayacht, whose name is being withheld at the owner’s request, splashed last Friday.
With naval architecture by Oceanco’s in-house team in collaboration with Azure Naval Architects, Y706 has other features that also make her unmistakable. There’s the popular aft-deck pool, set up as an infinity pool, which first appeared on an Oceanco with the launch of Alfa Nero. When the pool isn’t in use, it can be covered to permit touch-and-go helicopter operations.
Nuvolari & Lenard not only styled the superyacht, but also oversaw the interior design. The six guest staterooms are all set up as VIPs and should be plenty commodious, given the 14.2-meter (nearly 47-foot) beam. Understandably, the most space is reserved for the master suite, featuring a sitting area and a private alfresco space with a spa tub. Interior decor is by Beverly Hills-based Molly Isaksen Interiors. To the best of my knowledge, this marks the first time the firm has worked on a yacht. Y706 features a handful of rich-tone woods: rosewood, teak, and walnut.
Anticipated to top out at 20 knots thanks to twin 4,680-hp MTUs, Y706 should be delivered by the end of the year.
