Oceanco has on the tenth August launched the 111 meters hull Y722 as it was put in the water to start her sea trials. Titled Leviathan this 111m diesel-electric super yacht redefines how to live and operate at sea, and was designed not around tradition but around purpose, putting people at the heart of every decision. Built for an experienced owner with a deep commitment to team building and crew wellbeing, Oceanco Y722 represents a shift in how yachts are imagined, built, and run. From day one, crew were invited into the process not just as operators, but lending their operational insights to shape a yacht that works better for those who run it. Materials and systems were chosen not to reduce effort, but to redirect effort toward higher-value work, not repetitive basic maintenance. Durable, ease of care materials like honed stone and natural wool carpets reduce upkeep, allowing crew to focus on the things that truly matter, whether it is creating richer guest experiences, supporting onboard scientific work, or managing complex operations in real time. Traditional high-maintenance elements like polished handrails with wooden capping's, teak decks and vast painted superstructure sections were intentionally replaced with smart alternatives such as composite capping rails / decks and full height glass superstructure bulkheads, all without compromising but enhancing aesthetics. Y722 design reflects a human-centric approach to life at sea. With naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects and Oceanco, exterior design by Oceanco, and interiors by Mark Berryman Design, every element has been developed to enhance functionality and comfort for both crew and guests. The owner played an active role throughout the process, alongside YTMC the owner’s technical representatives, and Y.CO, ensuring the yacht remains aligned with its guiding philosophy. Crew and co-makers alike contributed their expertise, reflected in every practical detail and solution. As a tribute to the spirit of collaboration at the heart of this project, a glass panel engraved with the names of over 2,000 individuals involved in the build now stands in Y722 main staircase, a permanent reminder that this yacht was built by people, for people.
