Oceanco has unveiled updated details and visual representations of its innovative 90-meter hybrid superyacht concept called Kairos, a collaboration with renowned design firm Pininfarina.
This release coincides with the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show, building upon the concept’s introduction in March of the same year. The Dutch shipyard presents the experience aboard the 90-meter vessel as boundless, crafting an exterior that creates a serene oasis, inviting relaxation and personalized leisure.
Described as a “floating, living island,” Kairos boasts a symmetrical profile without a discernible forward direction. This design approach eliminates the conventional urgency associated with reaching destinations, facilitating a lifestyle that fully embraces the present moment.
A remarkable feature is the expansive three-level “theatrical piazza” that defies traditional yacht design norms. All guest and owner accommodations are situated on the lower deck, fostering a heightened sense of spaciousness and fluidity throughout the primary guest areas on the main level.
Oceanco has revealed further insights into the E-Hybrid propulsion system, which leverages batteries as the primary energy source. Diesel generators come into play for battery recharging and high-speed travel. This configuration results in a noiseless, minimally vibrating, and emission-free operation, contributing to a greener yachting experience.
Kairos, a creation by Lateral Naval Architects, aligns with Oceanco’s NXT sustainability initiative, exemplifying a fusion of technical design and engineering prowess.
Marcel Onkenhout, CEO of Oceanco, expressed, “Kairos embodies a remarkable vision brought to life through the collaboration of three visionary partners: Pininfarina, Lateral, and Oceanco. When owners encounter the Oceanco NXT endorsement in a yacht’s design, they can anticipate an elevated onboard lifestyle that resonates with novel perspectives on sustainability and living.”
