Oceanco reveals two new H2-designed Simply Custom projects

Oceanco has released the first renderings of two new 80-metre design proposals penned by H2 Yacht Design. Named Portofino (white) and Storm (black), the yachts make up two of the proposals from Oceanco's Simply Custom range, which aims to offer a new type of customisable superyacht built on a proven platform.  

According to the shipyard, Portofino has been "named to reflect the same classic, elegant style epitomised by this enigmatic Italian fishing village". It has described the yacht as timeless while marrying modern elements in the details such as the "dramatically shaped" transom.  

Other key design elements include a sculpted superstructure, tapered decks and long lines of glazing fringed by glass bulwarks. 

The other yacht is Storm, which is described as "an aggressive and sleek design" that borrows inspiration from a timeless Bentley coupe and gives a "sense of speed and elegance from a bygone era". A waterfront beach cub opens out on two sides with sweeping arches port and starboard that encourage a connection to the water. 

Lateral Naval Architects is responsible for the engineering and naval architecture of the line, and 17 designers were invited to lend their hands to the yacht's exteriors. Interiors meanwhile, can be heavily customised by a client, but Oceanco has shortlisted several designers who it thinks would be best suited to the projects.
