H3 - Oceanco - €295,000,000
Topping our list at €295,000,000 is H3: a 105.26-meter masterpiece from Dutch shipyard Oceanco.

H3’s interior is a haven of refined luxury, boasting exquisite craftsmanship and a harmonious blend of materials. She features mostly light tones throughout her interior with dark standout features that ground the design as a whole, and statement splashes of colour adding a sense of vibrancy to the rooms.
With a volume of 3,521 GT, H3 offers expansive spaces for accommodating up to 20 guests, each offering unparalleled comfort and privacy. A dedicated crew of 31 ensures every desire is anticipated and fulfilled.
