In collaboration with Lobanov Design Studio, BMT Nigel Gee and interior designer Achille Salvagni, Oceano Released its new Tuhura Yacht -- a 377 ft super yacht unlike any other on the market.
The new design is inspired by the earliest canoes, dugouts and other vessels that were used hundreds of years ago. The thinking behind the Tuhura is to revisit primal forms, evoking a sense of exploration and discovery in any consumer. With East Asian and Pacific Island features, the sophisticated interior has high-end finishes that are luxurious and comfortable. The hull is comprised of multiple windows, allowing the view from within to be transparent while still offering stunning views from inside.
The Tuhura Yachta by Oceanco offers a new, never-before-seen type of vessel design.
