A late 2000s Oceanco

Delivered in 2009, Vibrant Curiosity captured Oceanco at the height of its late 2000s form at 85.47 metres. The Alblasserdam yard built her as a genuine full custom motor yacht, with the Venice studio Nuvolari Lenard leading the design. Recognition followed quickly, including Best Custom Built Yacht over 150 feet at the 2010 Asia Boating Awards. She stands today as a polished record of the yard's craft in that particular era. Her pedigree is unusually well documented.

Her build reflected Oceanco's long standing relationships with the elite European design houses. The yard combined a striking exterior with a richly finished interior, all engineered carefully for serious cruising. She joined a fleet of comparable giants that came to define the whole period. For owners studying provenance, she carries both a respected award and a strong design signature. That heritage travels with her wherever she goes, and her design credentials remain a genuine part of her appeal today.

Nuvolari Lenard elegance

The exterior is by Nuvolari Lenard, drawn with the studio's characteristic blend of muscle and grace. Vibrant Curiosity carries a bold, sweeping profile that flatters her 2,822 GT convincingly. A 14.2 metre beam opens broad decks for relaxed outdoor living. The lines feel genuinely timeless, still handsome well over a decade after her delivery. She has aged with real dignity on the water.

Her deck plan supports the full large yacht toolkit, including a helipad, a jacuzzi and a beach club at the waterline. A shallow three metre draught gives her useful access to cruising grounds that many giants must simply skip. Tender and toy stowage sits discreetly within the hull, out of sight. On the water she reads as confident and quietly elegant. The proportions are plainly the work of a mature studio at its peak.

Rich and refined below

Nuvolari Lenard also shaped the interior, giving Vibrant Curiosity a warm and closely detailed character. Public rooms are generous and richly finished, planned with care for both entertaining and quiet time aboard. The palette is classic throughout, held in close step with the exterior styling. Circulation keeps owner areas private while opening the social spaces generously to the view. The interior feels considered in every corner.

She accommodates up to eighteen guests in well appointed suites, served by a full crew. Signature spaces balance formal salons with relaxed lounges and open outdoor living areas. The detailing rewards close and repeated attention, reflecting the studio's evident craft. The overall effect is settled, warm and genuinely welcoming. She was built to be lived in fully and enjoyed every single day, and the layout still feels current for extended time aboard.

Range and access

Vibrant Curiosity is a steel hulled displacement yacht with an aluminium superstructure. She reaches a top speed near 20 knots, with a range exceeding 5,500 nautical miles at 14 knots. That range comfortably supports genuine ocean crossings and long seasons away from home waters. Her shallow draught adds welcome access to shallower anchorages and marinas. Reach and flexibility were built in together.

She was engineered for real comfort at sea, with stabilisation and quiet running to match her range. Her volume carries the stores and systems needed for self reliant cruising well off the grid. Technical spaces stay cleanly clear of the guest experience. For an owner, she balances long reach with the flexibility to explore closer in. The shallow draught quietly widens her whole world, and she reaches bays and berths that many larger yachts must pass by.

Who she suits

Vibrant Curiosity suits an owner who values classic design and a proven, award winning pedigree. Her shallow draught widens the range of places she can reach, from open ocean to shallower coastal waters. She is well suited to long family cruising and refined entertaining alike. This is a yacht with a settled, timeless character all its own. She suits owners who plan to keep and enjoy a yacht for the long term.

As an asset she carries a respected design signature and a fully documented award. Those credentials support her standing firmly in the brokerage market. For a buyer who loves a classic, warm interior, she is a natural fit. Few yachts of her age still look this current on the water. Her award and her provenance travel with her into any negotiation.

Who it is for: An owner who wants a timeless, award winning 85 metre Oceanco with shallow draught for flexible long range cruising.
