Deep Blue II is a 43.79 m motor yacht built by Oceanco in 1996 (refitted 2022), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 10 crew. Charter from €140,000 per week in summer (Italy, Monaco and Amalfi Coast), plus expenses.
A 1996 aluminium Oceanco, not the Amels called Deep Blue, refitted in 2022 with a new paint job, a 12-metre Axopar chase boat and a VIP suite that splits in two for families.
First, the name: Deep Blue II is not the Amels called Deep Blue, and the two are often confused. This one was built by Oceanco in the Netherlands in 1996, entirely in aluminium, with a profile drawn by The A Group. She has been looked after rather than left behind. A refit worth about two million euros in 2017 was followed by a full refit in 2022 that included repainting the exterior, so she arrives looking much younger than her build year.
The aluminium hull and semi-displacement shape make her lighter and quicker than many steel yachts of her size, with a top speed of about 19 knots, and zero-speed stabilisers keep her steady once the anchor is down, which makes a real difference for older guests and small children.
The accommodation is where she earns her reputation with families. The principal suite runs the full width of the main deck. The VIP is also full width, and it can be divided into two separate cabins, so a family with two young children can sleep them side by side without giving anyone the master. A double and a twin complete the plan.
The bridge deck aft is the big social space, with an open-air lounge that seats more than twenty-five and a long dining table, good for a celebration with friends joining for the evening. One level higher, the sun deck has its own bar and grill, a hot tub and loungers the crew can rearrange as the sun moves. Trips ashore are handled at speed by a new Axopar 37, twelve metres long.
The crew of ten has been with the yacht for a long time and gets consistently warm feedback from guests, which counts for more than any new upholstery.
She is a sensible choice for a multi-generation family or a group that wants a proper superyacht experience at a lower weekly rate than a newer yacht. With room for ten guests, larger groups will need something bigger, and those who want a large beach club at water level should look elsewhere.
