Shipyard · New build & refit
Oceanco
Builder of large custom motor and sailing yachts at Alblasserdam near Rotterdam, delivering roughly two hulls a year, all 80 m and above. Koru, the 127 m sailing yacht for Jeff Bezos, is its largest. Valve founder Gabe Newell bought the yard in August 2025 and has since added Alewijnse and extra space in Zwijndrecht.
