OCEANS 47: A UNIQUE 47-METRE YACHT THAT COMBINES DESIGN, TECHNOLOGY AND GLOBAL VISION
Three industry leaders OceanWorld, Vripack and Wider bring together passion and expertise to create Oceans 47, a superyacht that celebrates the future of yachting.
At the Monaco Yacht Show, the world’s stage for luxury yachting, the 47-metre Oceans 47 was unveiled to the public and the international press. Built in steel and aluminium, this displacement superyacht marks the debut of the new brand Oceans Yachts. Behind this ambitious project lies the union of three global leaders in luxury yachting: OceanWorld Group of Dubai, Dutch design studio Vripack and Wider, the Italian shipyard renowned worldwide for its ability to innovate and integrate responsible technologies.
Three names, three brands, three stories, three identities merging into a single vision. OceanWorld Group brings to the project its extensive experience as a benchmark in the Middle East luxury yachting scene, a world where yacht sales and management are combined with bespoke services and a pioneering approach to responsible navigation. Vripack, with over sixty years of history and more than 7,500 projects to its name, represents one of the excellences of yacht design, blending timeless elegance with functionality. Wider, finally, is the Italian shipyard that has reinterpreted the very concept of yachting, offering cutting-edge engineering solutions and a philosophy that puts innovation at the service of the onboard experience.
Oceans Yachts was created to offer not just a vessel, but a manifesto of ambition, authenticity and contemporary luxury, conceived for discerning and visionary owners who seek a more intimate relationship with the sea.
The story of a masterpiece on the water Oceans 47 is the story of a vision turned into reality. Its exterior and interior lines, designed by Vripack, are clean and timeless, created to merge with the horizon and establish a constant dialogue with the sea. Every curve has a purpose, every detail responds to a precise need: safety, comfort, discreet elegance.
The interiors open to natural light through expansive windows that erase the boundaries between inside and out, offering guests the sensation of floating between sky and water. The owner’s suite, located forward on the upper deck, provides a breathtaking view of the ocean and becomes the ideal retreat for contemplation and intimacy. Six guest cabins and three lounges are conceived as convivial yet refined spaces, where every element from materials to lighting tells the story of a search for balance between aesthetics and functionality.
A private cinema enriches the onboard lifestyle, transforming evenings at sea into exclusive entertainment experiences. The architecture of the spaces is fluid, intuitive, almost invisible in its ability to guide guests naturally through moments of relaxation, conviviality and discovery.
The technological heart of Oceans 47 was developed by Vripack and Wider to ensure maximum efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and provide a quiet, environmentally responsible navigation. It is not just about power, but about an innovative approach to the way a yacht interacts with the sea, offering an authentic experience without compromising on luxury.
Oceans 47 is not only a product of design and engineering, but also a declaration of intent. It is an invitation to rediscover the authentic pleasure of living the sea, blending luxury with responsibility, innovation with tradition, aesthetics with functionality. Above all, it is a milestone, a turning point that marks the beginning of a new way of conceiving and building yachts.
“For OceanWorld Group, Oceans 47 is the tangible expression of a partnership that brings together design excellence and engineering innovation. We wanted to embody an idea of authentic luxury, one that does not compromise on efficiency and that looks boldly to the future of yachting. Oceans 47 represents a milestone for our vision and a starting point for what is to come.” said Lydia Pascarelli, CEO of OceanWorld Group.
“Since 1961, our goal has been to create yachts that deliver safe, comfortable and beautiful journeys. With Oceans 47, we wanted to express what we call ‘practical elegance’: a timeless design, interiors that converse with natural light, and lines that convey harmony and functionality. This yacht represents the perfect synthesis of our holistic approach to design, where aesthetics and engineering coexist to offer authentic experiences.” said Bart M. Bouwhuis, Partner and Co-Creative Director of Vripack.
“Wider was founded to rethink what a yacht can be, and with Oceans 47 we have taken this philosophy to a new level. Its propulsion system and onboard engineering solutions allow for reduced consumption and emissions, while giving owners more liveable spaces and superior comfort. True innovation is not what you see, but what you feel onboard: freedom, silence, and a different way of experiencing the sea. Oceans 47 is the symbol of how passion can be transformed into an unforgettable experience.” said Marcello Maggi, at the helm of W-Fin Sarl, the holding company that owns 100% of Wider.
Oceans 47 is not just the first yacht signed by Oceans Yachts: it is the embodiment of a shared vision, born from the encounter of three industry leaders who chose to unite expertise, experience and values to imagine the future of yachting. A yacht that expresses luxury in its most authentic form, embraces responsibility as a natural choice, and carries passion for the sea as its guiding thread.
