ARDOUR – A Floating Expression of Passion and Elegance

Designed by Demetrius Tanase Yacht Design in collaboration with Oceanco, Ardour brings together passion, craftsmanship, and modern design principles to create an unparalleled yachting experience.

In a world where time is precious, true luxury lies in simplicity and refinement. Ardour, an 80-meter superyacht concept born from Oceanco’s Simply Custom series, is the embodiment of this very ideal.

As part of Oceanco’s visionary Simply Custom series, Ardour represents a new era in yacht building. This innovative line allows owners to begin with a refined technical base—ensuring performance, sustainability, and innovation—while offering freedom to personalize the yacht's aesthetics and ambiance.

The all-electric propulsion system and advanced energy architecture make Ardour not only elegant, but environmentally conscious.

Oceanco’s unique Co-Maker approach unites world-class designers under a common vision. Ardour is a perfect result of this synergy, blending technical precision with artistic inspiration.

The name Ardour, meaning passion and enthusiasm, reflects the very essence of this yacht. Every design decision is driven by emotion, centered on tranquility, elegance, and warmth.

Its silhouette is characterized by smooth, flowing lines, with subtle curves even in its straight elements—creating a sense of organic motion. The design fuses nostalgic nods to classic wooden yachts with a contemporary minimalist flair.

The color palette is warm and inviting, dominated by soft beige tones, natural woods, and touches of golden finishes.

A hallmark detail is the discreet use of golden metal inlays—in railings, furniture, pool edges, and throughout the deck—offering a sense of quiet luxury that doesn’t scream but whispers sophistication.
