CRN and Omega Architects are looking to entice megayacht buyers who cruise shallow waters and like sporty-style craft. They’ve introduced a three-yacht series called Oceansport that can start construction upon contract.
The steel-and-aluminum yachts, to be built to Lloyds class, measure 171, 200, and 246 feet (52, 61, and 75 meters, respectively). Each rises four decks high. The Oceansport yachts further incorporate hull forms, with near-vertical bows, that CRN has already engineered. In fact, CRN anticipates the smaller two Oceansport models will see 14-knot cruise speeds with Caterpillar power. The largest Oceansport should achieve one knot more, again with Caterpillar power.
Each of the Oceansport projects has yet other things in common. Take a look at the profiles above, and you’ll see arch-like openings in the sides aft. You’ll also see split-level beach clubs, fully open to the sun and breezes. Besides the infinity pools here, the beach clubs can accommodate spas and/or gyms. And, though they can’t be detected in the rendering, full-height ports flank the saloons. Further not shown: Curved sliding-glass doors connecting the guest accommodations below decks to the sauna, massage room, and lounge in the beach club.
Your choice of Oceansport project depends on how you like to cruise. All can accommodate a party of 12, though with different crew head counts. The 171-foot Oceansport, with a 36-foot beam, is to be handled by a crew of 10. Meanwhile, the 200-footer has a crew of 14, and the 246-footer has a crew of 22. In addition, the 171-footer places all guest staterooms below decks, while the master suite sits aft of the wheelhouse. It’s a nice change of pace from the typical main-deck master.
If you do like that typical configuration, though, then consider the 200-foot Oceansport, again with a 36-foot beam. The owner’s suite includes the customary study and a lounge. Your best friends or favorite family members can take the VIP below decks. It has its own lounge, too. The four other guest staterooms here can be a combination of twins and doubles.
The extra length and width (a 42’7” beam) of the 246-foot Oceansport naturally mean more elbow room overall. But they also lend themselves well to special features in two different configurations. In the first, a VIP accompanies a mix of twins and doubles below decks, for five total guest staterooms. Alternately, the largest Oceansport can have four guest cabins, including two VIPs. Either way, the master suite gains a fixed balcony and an extra room to use as you wish (say, a breakfast room or an office).
Interesting enough, you can opt for a second master suite—or Very Important VIP—aboard this largest Oceansport, too. CRN and Omega Architects offer an arrangement where it replaces the skylounge. If you like skylounges, though, then your captain will be extra happy, as the captain’s cabin gains a study. You can also have a Pullman-equipped staff/pilot cabin up here.
