Three industry leaders – Ocean World, Vripack and Wider – bring together passion and expertise to create Oceans 47, a superyacht that celebrates the future of yachting. Monaco, September 2025
At the Monaco Yacht Show, the world’s stage for luxury yachting, the 47-metre Oceans 47 was unveiled to the public and international press.
The essence of Oceans 47 is smart design, where the space, amenities and lifestyle of a much larger yacht are contained in comfort on a 500GT vessel. Complete with 6 luxurious guestrooms, a cinema, a forward-facing Owner’s cabin and a massive outdoor space. Built in steel and aluminium, this displacement superyacht marks the launch of the new brand Oceans Yachts. The project brings together three established players in yachting: Ocean World Group of Dubai, Dutch design studio Vripack Yacht Design, and Wider, the Italian Shipyard known for its integration of responsible technologies.
Oceans Yachts’ mission is to provide more than just a vessel – it reflects a focus on thoughtful design, quality construction, and contemporary comfort, conceived for visionary owners who value a closer connection with the sea.
The story of Oceans 47
Oceans 47 represents the realisation of a clear vision. Its exterior and interior lines, designed by Vripack, are clean and timeless, created to merge with the horizon and establish a continuous dialogue with the sea. Every curve serves a purpose, every detail responds to a precise need: safety, comfort, and discreet elegance.
Natural light fills the interior through expansive windows that blur the boundary between inside and out. A dedicated owner’s deck with a forward-facing suite on the upper level offers sweeping ocean views. This exclusive deck also features a sky lounge, providing a private space for reflection and relaxation. For seamless access between levels, the yacht is equipped with an elevator, ensuring both convenience and luxury onboard.
The main deck is designed in an open-plan layout, offering three impressive lounges: a main lounge, an cigar lounge, and a refined dining area — all thoughtfully arranged to create a harmonious flow of space and atmosphere. The openness of the entire space is truly unique, creating a seamless environment that enhances the sense of freedom at sea. It is the perfect deck to relax, unwind, and enjoy every moment on board.
Six generous guest cabins on the lower deck, designed with refined materials, lighting and textures that strike a delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality, gives you direct access to the beach club and gym at the stern elevates the ease of onboard living.
A dedicated cinema and a sundeck pool area are features rarely seen aboard a yacht of this size, providing dedicated spaces for quiet entertainment and relaxing. And all delivered within an elegant 47-metre yacht.
The technological heart of Oceans 47 was developed by Vripack and Wider to ensure maximum efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and provide a quiet, environmentally responsible navigation. The focus is on how the yacht interacts with the sea, providing an authentic experience without compromising on luxury.
Oceans 47 is both a product of careful design and engineering, and a reflection of modern yachting. It blends innovation with mindfulness, and aesthetics with functionality, resulting in a thoughtful approach to life at sea.
“For Ocean World Group, Oceans 47 is the tangible expression of a partnership that brings together design excellence and engineering innovation,” says Lydia Pascarelli of Ocean World Group. “We wanted to embody an idea of authentic luxury, one that does not compromise on efficiency and that looks boldly to the future of yachting. Oceans 47 represents a milestone for our vision and a starting point for what is to come.”
Bart M. Bouwhuis, Partner and Co-Creative Director of Vripack, comments: “Our goal has always been to create yachts that deliver safe and comfortable journeys on well-thought-out design. With Oceans 47, we wanted to give the owner the amenities and space of a much larger yacht on a compact 500GT platform. It’s resulted in a dedicated Owner’s deck, generous guest areas including six large lower deck suites, a pool, cinema and direct access to the beach club and gym, all of which embodies our holistic approach to design.
“Wider was founded to rethink what a yacht can be, and with Oceans 47 we have taken this philosophy to a new level. Its propulsion system and onboard engineering solutions allow for reduced consumption and emissions, while giving owners more liveable spaces and superior comfort. True innovation is not what you see, but what you feel onboard: freedom, silence, and a different way of experiencing the sea. Oceans 47 is the symbol of how passion can be transformed into an unforgettable experience.” said Marcello Maggi, at the helm of W-Fin Sarl, the holding company that owns 100% of Wider.
Oceans 47 is not just the first yacht signed by Oceans Yachts: it is the embodiment of a shared vision, born from the encounter of three industry leaders who chose to unite expertise, experience and values to imagine the future of yachting. A yacht that expresses luxury in its most authentic form, embraces responsibility as a natural choice, and carries passion for the sea as its guiding thread.
