At this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, Oceanco is putting two very different yachts from the same ownership story side by side: the new-build 111-metre Leviathan and the rebuilt 92.8-metre Draak.

The Monaco Yacht Show returns to Port Hercule from September 23–26, 2026, bringing together 120 superyachts, more than 560 exhibitors and a fleet that includes 43 yachts delivered during 2026. Among the most closely watched vessels at this year’s show are two Oceanco yachts that were designed to work together: Leviathan and Draak.

For Oceanco, the significance goes beyond simply displaying two large yachts.

The Dutch shipyard is using the show to demonstrate two different sides of its business: new-build construction and life-cycle support through a major rebuild.

Leviathan: Built With a Purpose

At 111 metres, Leviathan is the largest yacht scheduled to be displayed at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show. The yacht was developed around a purpose-driven approach to yacht design, with Oceanco highlighting human-centred design and the materials used throughout the vessel.

Leviathan is also closely connected to the work of Inkfish, the marine research and ocean-exploration organisation associated with its owner, Gabe Newell.

The yacht was developed with exploration and scientific operations in mind. Reported features include a scientific laboratory, diving facilities and a hospital, while its diesel-electric propulsion and hull optimisation were developed with attention to noise, vibration and onboard comfort.

That makes Leviathan rather different from the traditional image of a superyacht whose primary purpose is simply leisure.

Its design incorporates spaces and systems intended to support people working aboard the vessel as well as those using it for recreation.

Draak: A Yacht With a Second Life

If Leviathan represents a new build, Draak demonstrates what can happen when an existing yacht is given an entirely different role.

The 92.8-metre yacht was originally delivered in 2014 and was previously known as Tranquility and Equanimity. Oceanco subsequently carried out a substantial rebuild, transforming the yacht into a companion vessel for Leviathan.

Draak is no longer being presented simply as a conventional luxury yacht.

Its role has been adapted around exploration, technical support and dive operations, allowing it to operate alongside Leviathan.

Oceanco describes the project as an example of its Life Cycle Support capabilities — essentially demonstrating that its relationship with a yacht does not necessarily end when the vessel is delivered.

Two Yachts, One Operational Concept

This is perhaps the most interesting aspect of Oceanco’s Monaco presentation.

Leviathan and Draak were designed to work together, rather than simply being two unrelated yachts owned by the same person.

Oceanco says the two vessels reflect different aspects of its approach: Leviathan demonstrates its purpose-driven new-build philosophy, while Draak demonstrates what its Life Cycle Support operation can achieve through a rebuild.

The pairing also reflects a broader shift in how some of the world’s largest yachts are being conceived.

Rather than putting every capability onto one enormous vessel, specialised companion yachts can provide additional space and equipment for activities such as exploration, diving, research, logistics and support.

Leviathan Will Be the Show’s Largest Yacht

The scale of Leviathan is difficult to ignore.

At 111 metres, she will sit at the top of the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show’s superyacht fleet. The second-largest yacht scheduled for the show is the 102-metre Nixie, built by Lürssen. Draak follows at approximately 92.8 metres.

The comparison is particularly interesting because Leviathan and Nixie represent two of Europe’s leading large-yacht builders arriving at the same event with very recent deliveries.

Oceanco’s decision to bring Leviathan and Draak together therefore gives visitors an opportunity to see not only two large yachts, but two different approaches to yacht development.

Monaco Becomes the Meeting Point

Oceanco’s presence extends beyond the yachts themselves.

The company will have a stand at JS7, Appontement Jules Soccal, while its lounge will be located at the Yacht Club de Monaco on Quai Louis II.

Leviathan and Draak will be positioned at the Cruise Terminal, D01 – Quai Rainier III, where visitors will be able to see the companion vessels together. Oceanco is also offering private appointments with its Sales and Life Cycle Support teams during the show.

For Oceanco, the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is therefore as much about conversation as it is about spectacle.

The company is bringing together prospective clients, designers, engineers and representatives from its sales and support operations in one location.

A Different Picture of Superyachting

The 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is filled with the usual ingredients of the superyacht world: enormous vessels, advanced technology, extraordinary interiors and new deliveries.

But Leviathan and Draak tell a slightly different story.

One is a new 111-metre vessel built around a defined operational purpose.

The other is an existing 92.8-metre yacht that has been substantially rebuilt and given a new role.

Together, they demonstrate how the modern superyacht can move beyond the traditional definition of a floating luxury residence.

For Oceanco, that may ultimately be the most important message coming out of Monaco this year: the future of large-yacht design is not necessarily about making one vessel do everything. It can also be about creating an ecosystem of vessels designed to work together.

And at Port Hercule, that concept will be visible in a particularly impressive form — 111 metres of new construction accompanied by 92.8 metres of reinvention.
