You rarely hear the phrase converted superyacht. But that is exactly what happened to the 93-metre Draak. She has been converted to serve as a support vessel for a larger, even grander superyacht.
Draak was originally delivered by Oceanco in 2014. She returned to the same yard for a comprehensive rebuild. This conversion prepared her for a new operational role. She now serves as a companion yacht to 111 metre diesel-electricsuperyacht Leviathan.
Her new duties include carrying a dedicated dive tender. She also provides extra accommodation for crew and guests. Draak was built as Y701. She was launched as Tranquility and later sailed as Equanimity.
Oceanco uses sequential numbering for its yachts. The “Y” prefix stands for yacht. Y701 places Draak among Oceanco’s first generation of large custom superyachts.
This is historically quite interesting. It indicates that Draak predates Oceanco’s later icons such as Alfa Nero, Jubilee,and Black Pearl. Leviathan, was formerly known as project Y722.
Gabe Newell, the American billionaire co-founder and president of Valve (the company behind Steam) is the owner of both yachts. He is also now the owner of Oceanco having purchased it in August 2025 after roughly 15 years of Omani investor Mohammed Al Barwani’s ownership.
Draak was built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Her overall length is 92.8 metres. She has a beam of 14 metres and a draught of 4 metres. Her volume is 2,951gt. She is powered by twin MTU engines. These give her a top speed of 19.5 knots. The yacht carries 271,000 litres of fuel on board.
Operate seamlessly together
Leviathan and Draak were designed to operate seamlessly together. Both project teams worked closely on every detail. They collaborated on design, engineering, and operational decisions. This ensured consistency and cross-functionality. Builders, owner representatives, and crew from both yachts worked together.
The rebuild involved major exterior modifications. Oceanco’s original design team led these changes. The upper deck aft helideck was removed. This made room for a large tender deck with heavy-duty C-davits. A 12.6-tonne jib crane was added to the upper deck aft. This crane supports hoisting manoeuvres.
The boarding platform was extended for added safety. It now accommodates retractable fenders and swim stairs.
Added length
During the rebuild of Draak her overall length increased by just over 1 metre.
Inside, the superyacht was reconfigured for her new purpose. The former beach club and spa became a dive centre. The dive centre includes a decompression chamber. The main deck saloon was transformed into a large crew mess.
A chef’s lab was installed in the main saloon. This space is used for preparing and hosting intimate dining experiences.
New adaptable cabins provide extra high-end crew accommodation when needed.
