A new yacht concept dubbed KAIROS is the product of a unique collaboration between Dutch custom yacht builder OCEANCO and famed Italian automotive design studio, Pininfarina. This new superyacht concept has been designed around a sustainable ideology and design brief. KAIROS has been developed with an E-Hybrid propulsion concept with a primary source of power being generated from batteries. The KAIROS concept is designed to delight potential customers imaginations by showcasing a design with few conventional boundaries.
“KAIROS is a remarkable vision shared by three passionate, forward-thinking partners: Pininfarina, Lateral and Oceanco,” commented Marcel Onkenhout, Oceanco’s CEO. “When Owners see the Oceanco NXT endorsement on a yacht’s design, they know they can expect elevated standards of life onboard that are in tune with new perspectives on sustainability and lifestyle.”
The KAIROS concept was developed in line with OCEANCO’s NXT initiative, a companywide philosophy to deliver sustainability through innovation. This particular project, which benefited from technical design work and engineering by Lateral Naval Architects, will help pave the way and offer insight into how current technology will serve as a foundation for a sustainable future among superyachts.
“Our passion as designers is to imagine new concepts of space that are capable of bringing enchantment to every moment of the yachting experience,” comments Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of the Group.
Although details on KAIROS are brief now, we expect more information to be released by OCEANCO in the coming months. Ironically, the name KAIROS is taken from the ancient Greek word for ‘time’.
