Oceanco's Bravo Eugenia Receives the First Ever La Belle Classe Explorer Award Presented by the Yacht Club of Monaco

Bravo Eugenia is developed with an optimized hybrid propulsion system that utilizes the latest energy-saving technologies and benefits from best-in-class hydrodynamic efficiency, new heat and energy-recovery systems, and integrated battery systems to allow for optimal operation at all times.  Not only is this pioneering system extremely powerful, it is also environmentally friendly, boasting a reduction in fuel usage of up to 27 percent. It meets all existing ECO notation requirements and is able to operate in all emission control areas thanks to its diminished emissions. Additionally, an exclusive 'whisper mode' has been built in to ensure surrounding yachts are not disturbed when entering and exiting ports.

H.S.H. Sovereign Prince Albert II, President of the Yacht Club of Monaco, presented the Explorer Award to Marcel Onkenhout, CEO of Oceanco—who accepted the award on behalf of Bravo Eugenia's American Owners, Gene and Jerry Jones.

"We are honored to receive such a prestigious award. The opportunity for our entire family to work alongside Oceanco in seeing this project to fruition has been an unparalleled experience in innovation and design," said Gene Jones.

The international award jury, chaired by the renowned explorer Mike Horn, included the President of the American Explorers Club and President of the Société des Explorateurs Français.

In the same way that the Yacht Club of Monaco is dedicated to upholding the values of ocean conservation, biodiversity and technical innovation, Oceanco is commited to building yachts with the same philosophy.

Oceanco is grateful to the Jones family for its vision, courage and trust in enabling Oceanco to create its first yacht according to the LIFE Design qualities — a yacht for the future that adheres to the principles outlined by the Yacht Club of Monaco and which speaks to future generations of yacht Owners.
