From the very start, we knew nothing about her would be done in a traditional way. We were welcomed into the team alongside Gabe and everyone who would ultimately be involved in operating her. It is this level of collaboration that sets Leviathan apart from anything we\u2019ve built before. We\u2019re incredibly proud of the way she was developed, and following her successful sea trials, we can now say she\u2019s the most comfortable yacht ever designed, built, and delivered by Oceanco.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed her owner Gabe, who had also purchased the Dutch shipyard just this August, was closely involved throughout <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leviathan\u2019s<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> design, development &amp; build processes, encouraging openness and collaboration between all involved parties throughout the journey which he found just as rewarding as the end result. He commented, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe knew we were asking for unusual things, and Oceanco embraced it with open arms. Not only have we designed a very unusual yacht that leans into Oceanco\u2019s strengths of innovation and design, but the team has also been willing to collaborate with us on evolving the process.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a lasting symbol of this truly collective achievement, a glass panel engraved with almost 3,000 contributors\u2019 names is installed in the vessel\u2019s main staircase: just one of many gestures of appreciation rarely seen in the yachting realm, initiated by the team. Her interior layout was designed to foster a sense of shared experience among up to 26 guests &amp; 37 crew members. Prime locations usually designated for exclusive guest use are reimagined to welcome crew equally alongside them, reflecting the owner\u2019s belief that a yacht should feel like a community and enable mutually enjoyable experiences that uplift the well-being of all aboard.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
