Oceanco is one of the specialists in the construction of superyachts (80 to 140 m long) made to measure in the world. In collaboration with the design firm Van Geest Design, the Dutch shipyard presents its new creation, Moonstone. This 295-foot (90 m) superyacht features a faceted hull, a first for a superyacht. "These elegant lines and its faceted shell suggest a hypnotic glamour, like the multiple surfaces of a finely cut gemstone." details Oceanco.
The backlit hull is made up of 300 white triangles (on each side of the boat) that sparkle at night and create unlimited lighting effects. The waterline and upper decks are also illuminated. Fisheye cameras capture the colors of a night sky, a sunrise or sunset, the lapping water and then rebroadcast them on the boat's decks. The boat becomes a real light mirror, reflecting the surrounding elements. During the day, the mirror effect of the hull also reflects the natural elements (sea, sky, sun). To activate the digitally programmed LEDs in the hull facets, all you need is a mobile application.
The light panels of the hull have been designed to be self-sufficient thanks to 70 m2 of solar panels located above the superstructure. One day of sunlight allows the device to operate for 3 hours.
This "facet" pattern is found in several other areas of the yacht, in conjunction with lighting effects.
The pool (on the main deck) is also equipped with light walls, as is the spa (located on the upper deck). These elements bring a new source of light into the boat. In particular, the pool has glass walls that project light waves onto the bathing platform that it overlooks.
"Light is essential to our lives. The way spaces are lit impacts our well-being as well as our state of mind. Light has the power to transcend the noise that surrounds our daily lives and bring us into calm and wonder." says Temeloy, a leading lighting design company that worked with the design firm.
Moonstone was designed on the basis of the Oceanco 90 M, taking advantage of this proven layout. There is an entire deck dedicated to the owner, a fitness room, a spa (on the upper deck), as well as a helipad (on the front deck of the boat). A cinema and 4 double and 2 twin cabins complete the interior layout. Moonstone can accommodate 12 guests.
The superyacht also has a large open-air deck saloon for a 360° view. A large pool with transparent walls is harmoniously integrated on the aft deck and overlooks the bathing platform, which serves as a terrace on the water.
On each side of the yacht, platforms suspended over the water provide access to the water toys and rescue tenders. The aft platform provides access to the two guest tenders and the outdoor lounge area.
