Oceanco is about to receive their latest yacht at their finishing facilities in Alblasserdam to be to begin outfitting her for completion. The new yacht is build #Y719, which also goes by the project name 'Aquaintance'. Oceanco has really kept quiet about this build so there isn't much information available on her at this point.

Much has been changed from the early designs, most likely to satisfy the current owner's wishes...

80-meter "Excellence" Launches At Abeking & Rasmussen
Over the weekend, German custom superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen launched their latest superyacht.
