There’s a question I often ask myself while sipping overpriced espresso on the shores of Lake Geneva: how can something so big, so expensive, and so impossibly elegant fly under the radar? And then I remember—Bravo Eugenia exists. Built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, this 109-meter superyacht is as close as humanity has come to launching a Bond villain’s lair into the sea… minus the missiles. But is it just another billionaire toy, or is there more beneath the surface?
Let’s dive in. Literally, if you can afford it.
The yacht that doesn’t scream — it whispers
Designed for Jerry Jones, the flamboyant owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Bravo Eugenia could have easily gone full Texas oil baron. Think gold taps, crystal chandeliers and a helicopter pad shaped like a dollar sign. Instead, what Oceanco delivered is understated, sustainable, and quietly revolutionary.
Styled by Nuvolari Lenard and built with naval architecture from Lateral Naval Architects, Bravo Eugenia is long, lean and effortlessly efficient. The hull is optimized for low resistance and high performance. In fact, she sails at 17.5 knots using 30% less fuel than other yachts in her class. That’s not just clever engineering — it’s an industry wake-up call.
Inside the “life design” philosophy
Oceanco didn’t just build a floating palace — they built a philosophy called “Life Design”. No, it’s not a yoga retreat. It’s the seamless integration of architecture, technology, and user experience. Think of it as if Apple designed a superyacht — but made it Dutch.
The interior, crafted by Reymond Langton Design, exudes calm opulence. There’s a spa, a full gym, a beach club, and — wait for it — a wellness centre. Because what’s the point of being a billionaire if you can’t detox from the stress of yacht ownership?
This design isn’t about excess. It’s about balance, flow, and comfort. The kind of place where everything feels right, even if you can’t quite explain why. Minimalism with a $250 million price tag? Welcome to the new elite.
Performance that respects the planet
Here’s where things get properly interesting. Bravo Eugenia is the first yacht of her size built to meet the “IMO Tier III” emissions standard. She also features a hybrid propulsion system, advanced heat recovery, and a wastewater treatment plant that would make most small cities jealous.
Let’s not kid ourselves — no superyacht is ever going to win an environmental award. But in a world where wealth often ignores responsibility, this one dares to tread lightly. Compared to gas-guzzling monsters built to impress Monaco dockside egos, Bravo Eugenia is a zen monk in a sea of screaming influencers.
Who is Bravo Eugenia really for?
Let’s cut through the champagne foam. This yacht wasn’t built for showing off. It was built for living well. For the owner who values privacy over paparazzi. For the elite who sail not to be seen, but to see — islands, coastlines, ideas.
This is a yacht for someone who wants their money to speak softly, yet command attention. Someone who understands luxury isn’t just consumption — it’s curation. Bravo Eugenia is for the new kind of billionaire. The thoughtful kind. The kind who reads white papers on climate strategy between island hops.
Or maybe just Jerry Jones.
A few facts to brag about at cocktail hour
- Length: 109 meters
- Beam: 16.3 meters
- Gross Tonnage: ~3,418 GT
- Max speed: 17.5 knots
- Range: 4,500 nautical miles
- Fuel savings: up to 30% over traditional yachts in class
- Hybrid system: Yes
- Launch year: 2018
And yes, she has won multiple awards, including “Best Ecological Design and Operation Innovation” at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards. Not bad for a yacht that looks like it’s on a permanent digital detox.
My verdict: the future of yachting is quiet
If you’re the kind of person who thinks louder engines equal better engineering, Bravo Eugenia will bore you to tears. But if you believe the future of luxury is sustainable, silent, and smart, then this yacht is your spiritual vessel.
This is not just another toy in the billionaire arsenal. This is a statement. A slow-moving, whisper-quiet, titanium-clad middle finger to wasteful opulence. And that, my dear readers, makes Bravo Eugenia not only a triumph — but a turning point.
Now it’s your turn
Would you choose sustainability over spectacle if you had $250 million to spend? Or would you bolt a shark tank to the deck and call it a day? Share your thoughts in the comments or join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram. Let’s see where you stand on the luxury spectrum.
