Developing the Ocean Class 57

The development of the Ocean Class 57 was one of our most extensive and detailed projects. Although Seaway Design provided the side view and the floor plan, the yacht still needed to follow the Ocean Class identity. In addition, the client had already defined the interior requirements. Because of this, our role focused on building the entire vessel in 3D, refining every detail and ensuring a coherent design language across the Ocean Class range. We then produced high-quality renderings that became the foundation of the marketing campaign.

Key Advantages and Performance Improvements

Compared to similar yachts, the Ocean Class 57 offers several notable advantages. For instance, it features a significantly larger flybridge and cockpit, which provide more social and functional outdoor space. It also has the widest beam in its class, giving the vessel a strong and stable presence on the water. Despite this width, the hull remains slim below the waterline. As a result, the yacht maintains low resistance and achieves better fuel efficiency, which improves overall performance.

Refined Exterior and Enhanced Interior Layout

We also redesigned the bow, giving it a more modern character that matches the proportions of the yacht. Furthermore, we devoted particular attention to the flybridge roof and its overhang to ensure a balanced silhouette and better shading. Inside the vessel, we improved functionality by expanding the lounge area and adjusting the narrow passageways. These changes increase comfort on board and make movement throughout the yacht more fluid and practical.

Overall, the Ocean Class 57 brings together a carefully refined exterior, a more efficient hull and a well-considered interior layout. Through a combination of technical precision and thoughtful design, the yacht offers a spacious, comfortable and visually coherent experience on every voyage.
