Originally constructed as a commercial rescue vessel, Ocean Falcon presents a substantial 2,950 GT platform positioned for conversion into a private expedition yacht, research support vessel, or future charter project.
Built by Astilleros Zamakona S.A. and delivered in 2015, she features exterior design and naval architecture by Havyard Group ASA, with interior design by H2 Yacht Design.
With nearly 3,000 gross tons of internal volume, Ocean Falcon offers rare scale for a 70-meter platform. Her interior, conceived by H2 Yacht Design, was structured around commercial functionality, yet the volume and structural layout provide a clear framework for extensive customization.
The yacht’s expansive internal capacity supports a broad range of possible reconfigurations. Plans discussed prior to the sale included the integration of research facilities for university-led programs, collaboration spaces for scientific expeditions, or the creation of a large-volume private yacht with a grand salon, multiple guest staterooms, dining areas, wellness facilities, and even a cinema.
An investment of approximately €18 million had been made into the project to date, and the yacht was marketed as a fully spec’d conversion opportunity. Her substantial tank capacities - 590,000 liters of fuel and 500,000 liters of fresh water - further support extended autonomous operations, reinforcing the flexibility of her internal layout for long-range use.
With a 16-meter beam and a draft of 5.4 meters, the motor yacht offers stability suited to challenging environments. She was built to Det Norske Veritas classification, underlining her commercial-grade construction standards. Her design and structural integrity position her for operations in remote regions, including Arctic waters and long passages across the South Pacific.
As delivered, Ocean Falcon was configured to accommodate up to 29 crew, consistent with her commercial service origins. The scale of her internal volume provides significant flexibility for a future owner to redefine accommodation arrangements. Potential layouts discussed in brokerage materials included large-format guest suites, owner’s quarters, and expanded hospitality spaces for expedition-style cruising or charter use. Alternatively, her existing configuration could support specialist teams for research, survey, or humanitarian missions.
Ocean Falcon delivers performance consistent with her displacement explorer profile. She reaches a top speed of 15 knots and cruises comfortably at 12.5 knots. Her most notable operational characteristic is an 8,000-nautical-mile range, enabling true transoceanic capability without frequent refueling stops.
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world, Ocean Falcon had a last known asking price of €14,950,000.
