Set to become the world's largest gigayacht ever constructed, charter yacht REV Ocean is a marvel of modern engineering and luxury. Commissioned by Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Røkke and with a keel laid in 2017, the expedition yacht's impressive build spans across Europe with a hull and superstructure crafted in Tulcea, Romania, and outfitting completed in Langsten, Norway. At an astounding 182.9 meters (over 600 feet), REV Ocean is not only a vessel of opulence but also a beacon for marine research and education.

This extraordinary luxury yacht for charter is powered by four diesel-electric engines, delivering a combined 2.7 megawatts of power, and complemented by two silent electric motors designed to minimize underwater noise emissions. With a cruising range of over 20,000 nautical miles at 11 knots and a top speed of 17 knots, charter yacht REV Ocean is as much about performance as it is about its mission.
