Oceanic 143 Tri-Deck Superyacht Balances Explorer Capabilities With Long-Range Cruising

Italy is one of the epicenters of the superyacht world, with shipbuilders of all sizes and levels of expertise striving to get their piece of the pie in this highly competitive market. Rome-based Canados Yachts, which has been around for over 76 years, is one of the most experienced shipyards in the region, with a proven record of high-quality superyachts delivered to clients keen to tout their wealth.

Their latest design, the Oceanic 143, is the largest yacht to be built by the shipyard to date. Revealed last month during this year's Cannes Yachting Festival, the tri-deck superyacht measures 142.6 feet (43.45 meters) in length and focuses on balancing explorer capacities with long-range cruising for the most fun you can have out at sea.

The vessel is the flagship of the company's Oceanic line, which aims to bring to the market a low-maintenance explorer-style yacht with a composite hull and a design that allows for increased comfort onboard. Moreover, the yachts in this line come with a special architecture that guarantees reduced fuel consumption at longer range speeds.

Oceanic 143 features a hull design penned by Canados' chief naval architect Giovanni Senatore, in collaboration with Arrabito Naval Design. It stands out through its cutting-edge twin-stepped hull that works wonders when it comes to reducing friction and a bulbous bow. With a draft of only 7 feet (2.10 meters), it will be able to access shallow bays.

The yacht has an elegant, imposing profile, with a superstructure that has been pushed forward to create a generous aft deck. Though much of the superstructure mass is concentrated towards the bow, the designers made sure to reduce the buoyancy of the watercraft aft in order to allow it to remain perfectly balanced while at sea and ensure stability at anchor.

Since this is an explorer yacht, the designers' aim was to create an environment where guests could feel comfortable for extended periods of time. As such, the Oceanic 143 was crafted with the guests' utmost comfort in mind and has expansive outdoor areas and elegant interiors. Sliding doors and large floor-to-ceiling windows allow for highly versatile interiors and bring the outdoors inside, creating a deeper connection with the surrounding ocean.

The exterior decks offer plenty of shaded and open-air areas where guests can socialize, entertain, practice sports, and more. The generous aft deck, spanning no less than 130 square meters, provides guests with a great al-fresco dining location. A dedicated lounge area can be found further aft and includes three sofas strategically positioned around a coffee table and a fire pit. An opulent Mosaic and Glass hot tub has been installed at the transom, while a large bar is on the other side of the lounging space, creating a sense of separation between areas.

Other standout features are the sundeck, which offers guests the chance to soak up the sun in a forward-facing sunpad and some sun loungers, a full-size hammam for six people housed inside the central mast, and an air-conditioned gym that doubles as a beach club.

Coming from the drawing boards of Rome-based designer Michela Reverberi, the luxurious interiors merge creativity, quality materials, and attention to detail.

The main saloon is the perfect place for socializing, furnished with two huge gray sofas facing each other and an elongated marble coffee table in between. Rectangular cabinets adorned with glass tops and white geometric patterns line the main saloon, while an indoor dining area lies right next to a dividing wall. Large windows allow guests to enjoy the seascape from every corner of the saloon.

The Oceanic 143 superyacht offers accommodation for up to ten guests across five lavish staterooms, including a sumptuous owner's suite occupying the entire upper deck, two guest cabins, and two VIPs. The guest staterooms are all located on the lower deck.

The private owner's suite is as luxurious as they come, fitted with a king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite bathroom. It also has access to two private terraces. The one located aft comes with a wet bar, lounge area, breakfast table, and sunpads to enjoy the sun, while the forward one has built-in sofas and sunpads. Access to the latter is made from the port side corridor, enhancing the idea of privacy.

To ensure a peaceful yachting experience, the designers moved the engines to the aft section of the vessel. This allowed the architects to put a tender garage in the center of the hull, which acts as a sound buffer between the engine room and the lower deck where the guest staterooms are located.

The new Oceanic 143 Tri-Deck doesn't lag behind in terms of performance, either. It is equipped with triple Caterpillar engines, ensuring a top speed of up to 26 knots (30 mph/48 kph) and an impressive nautical mile range of over 4,410 (8,167 km) while cruising at 8.4 knots (10 mph/16 kph).
