Description

The 93m superyacht Draak (ex-Tranquility, ex-Equanimity) is officially relaunched—and she’s been completely reborn as the ultimate companion support vessel to the 111m Leviathan 🚤🐉⚓.

Fresh from a groundbreaking rebuild at Oceanco‘s Zwijndrecht shipyard in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 (relaunched February 2026), this isn’t a standard refit—it’s a full-scale transformation from charter luxury icon to high-performance fleet asset 🇳🇱🔧. Owned by Gabe Newell (Valve co-founder, tech visionary, and Oceanco majority shareholder), Draak now operates seamlessly with Leviathan for exploration, dive ops, and extended adventures 🌊🪸.

Why by Oceanco? Oceanco built her originally in 2014, so they had full access to original engineering docs, design files, and the same expert team behind Leviathan 🇳🇱📐. Gabe Newell’s deep ties to the yard (he acquired Oceanco in 2025 after collaborating on Leviathan) made it the natural choice for this complex project—ensuring perfect integration, innovation, and cross-functionality between the two yachts 🤝🚀. The rebuild demanded opening up the entire vessel for major structural, electrical, ventilation, and system overhauls—only Oceanco could handle that level of “re-engineering her DNA” with precision and speed 🇳🇱💪.

Key Upgrades & Mission Shift:

Extended stern boarding platform for safer access in rough seas (added ~1m+ length) 🔒🌊
New large tender deck with heavy-duty C-davits for bigger toys & dedicated dive tender 🛥️🦈
12.6-tonne jib crane on upper deck aft for heavy lifts (submersibles, gear, tenders) 🏗️⚓
Former spa/beach club converted to professional dive centre with decompression chamber 🪂🩺
Reconfigured adaptable cabins for extra guests/crew (flexible use) 🛏️👥
Main deck saloon turned into expanded crew mess + chef’s lab for intimate dining 🍽️👨‍🍳
Removed upper aft helideck to free space for tenders/crane ops ✈️➡️🛳️
