Making the most of a proven technical platform simply makes sense, and that’s what Mondo Marine has done with the series to which Okko belongs. The 133’9” (40.8-meter) megayacht is the seventh delivery employing Mondo Marine’s 41-meter-series hull design and systems. However, she’s not a series build in the traditional understanding of the phrase. Rather, the all-aluminum Okko features fully customized styling, interior design, and general arrangement,like all of Mondo Marine’s projects. She’s a lavishly appointed floating home for her owner, a first-time client of the Savona, Italy shipyard.
As to the latter, Mondo Marine built Okko to RINA classification, but Luca Fresco, the yard’s chief naval architect, states it exceeded the standards for vibration control. Specifically, he explains that RINA requires vibration levels of less than two meters per second, where as Okko’s levels are 10 to 20 times better than that. Fresco ascribes the achievement to the improvements Mondo Marine makes to each megayacht in the series, based on its own experiences and owner feedback.
Of course, peace and quiet are set within some type of atmosphere, and the one aboard Okko is certainly sumptuous. How so? If the mirror finish on the wood paneling here in Okko’s saloon doesn’t tip you off, take a look at the tones and textures of that wood. The megayacht’s owner, working with Studio Vafiadis, was keen to showcase frake, also known as limba. It’s a hardwood from western Africa characterized by shades that range from pale yellow to rich yellow-brown and prominent grey or black stripes. The dramatic effect is complemented by lush velvet furnishings and overheads lined with sharkskin leather. Elsewhere aboard, lucite handrails lit from within, stainless steel, polished and etched mirrors, and more are used.
Since Mondo Marine has its own cabinetry and woodworking shop, its craftsmen made the dining table, employing flame mahogany and intricate inlays. They also made other custom furnishings and accents throughout Okko. For example, though it’s not visible here, the frake trim at the base of walls, buffets, and more aboard the megayacht employs dentil molding. (Dentil molding is a series of grooves that appear more like symmetrical blocks, or even teeth, hence the name.)
Stones such as onyx and marble are in abundance aboard Okko as well, paired with frosted glass for further effect as seen here in the master bath. You can better appreciate the dentil molding just below the sinktop, too. The details throughout the room show how Okko’s owner wanted splendor to extend to every corner.
Even with a voluminous feel, given the 26’6” (8.1-meter) beam, Okko lends the sense of being even more spacious. The megayacht’s master suite, forward on the main deck, does a particularly good job. The nearly floor-to-ceiling mirrors and mirrored overheads open up the room and further reflect natural light to lighten and brighten the space. Another nice detail: no distracting air-conditioning vents or entertainment system components. Certainly, Okko has both, just tucked away. Ventilation grills are hidden in the overheads, and the television is also concealed, within the mirror across from the foot of the bed. Okko employs the “magic mirror” televisions commonly appearing on megayachts these days.
Guests are well-treated in two VIP staterooms and two twin staterooms. Accessories from leading Italian brands like Fendi and Visionaire adorn the rooms. Snakeskin leather wraps around the television (not shown), too. The level of finish here extends even to the crew cabins and captain’s cabin, as per the owner’s desire as well as that of Mondo Marine. While no shipyard wants crew spaces to be uncomfortable, they don’t necessarily outfit the areas to the degree that Mondo Marine does. Okko’s captain is the father of a young child, so his cabin has a pullman and the same decor treatments as the guest staterooms.
A proper yacht has a proper place for alfresco relaxation, and Okko’s third deck does not disappoint in this regard. A hot tub is surrounded by enough sunpads to let everyone lounge around, with enough room to the side for crew to walk over with extra towels, drinks, etc. Take a look forward, beneath the arch, and you’ll see a dining area. Doors can close it off if the weather isn’t entirely cooperative, but on sunny days and starry nights, keeping them open is sure to be a treat.
Also a treat: enjoying those spaces while Okko makes her way at a reported cruise speed of 14.5 knots, powered by twin 1,500-hp MTU engines. With speed dialed down to 12 knots, Okko should see a healthy range of 3,000 nautical miles, putting any port within the preferred cruising grounds within range. Her semi-displacement hull is fitted with a bulbous bow to improve seakeeping, and every navigation and communication system is interfaced into the wheelhouse displays, as per the captain’s request. Besides making information readily available at his fingertips, it eliminates clutter, as does having dedicated drawers and cabinets for printers and more. The wing stations are further fully equipped at his request, more like mini-helms.
That’s just one more example of how Mondo Marine manages the demands of custom-oriented clients while maintaining its own directives to standardize systems whenever possible.

Bellissimo Yacht.
Mi sono trovato per caso a salirci sopra il 01.01.2026 in gita a Montecarlo.
Ho stretto la mano al proprietario e fatto foto con lui.
Tutto Stupendo.
Saluti e Buon 2026.
