Where your client's ambition
meets our delivery.

A single partner. A proven platform. An 80m expedition support yacht delivered in 20 months from €80M — by the OCCAM Group, with over 255 years of collective expertise and €1 billion of projects in delivery in 2026.

Partner. Everything.

A genuinely
different
conversation.

For clients who want capability, range and genuine operational independence, AUTON YACHTS offers something the new-build market cannot match on timescale or cost. A proven offshore platform, converted through an AUTON stack system, delivered in a timeline that makes commercial sense.

AUTON YACHTS is an OCCAM Group company. In 2026, OCCAM is delivering four projects with a combined value exceeding €1 billion — bringing engineering depth, supply chain access and programme management capability that underpins every AUTON YACHTS conversion.

Working in close partnership with you, ensures your client receives alignment with their trusted advisor and the full capability of the AUTON YACHTS team — from first conversation through to delivery. And we have structured our partnership programme to reflect the importance of that relationship.

20 Month Delivery
Half the timeline.
A conventional 80m+ new-build takes three to four years. AUTON YACHTS delivers the same scale vessel in 20 months — from contract to sea trial. For clients with a programme in mind, that timeline changes everything.
One Partner
No fragmentation.
Donor vessel acquisition, design, conversion, classification, delivery and operational set-up — all managed by a single team. One point of accountability throughout. No handover risk. No gap between specification and execution.
From €80M
A different cost conversation.
The AUTON YACHTS baseline is an 80m expedition support yacht from €80M.
The Principal Yacht
Freed to be exactly what it should be.
When tender storage, helicopter operations, dive systems and specialist crew move onto a dedicated support platform — the principal yacht is freed from every compromise that comes with carrying it all. The result is a vessel designed entirely around how an owner wants to live at sea.
The Support Platform
Built for the crew that make it possible.
On a dedicated support yacht, the operational crew gain something rarely afforded on a principal vessel — proper recreational spaces, a genuine gym, crew areas designed for people spending months at sea. The platform is built around function, and function done properly.
The Combination
Both vessels. Better.
The mothership concept is not new in offshore and expedition circles — but it is underutilised in private ownership. As programmes become more ambitious, the logic of separating capability from luxury becomes increasingly compelling.

A design
unlock for
the principal yacht.

The most significant constraint in superyacht design is space. Every system, service and amenity competes for the same deck area, volume and crew resource. An AUTON YACHTS expedition support yacht changes that equation entirely.

Tender and toy storage. Helicopter operations. Dive facilities. Specialist technical crew. All moved onto a dedicated platform — leaving the mothership to be designed around a single purpose: the owner's experience.

For clients building or refitting a principal yacht alongside an AUTON YACHTS conversion, the combined proposition is one of the most compelling in the current market.

Built on what
already exists.

Primary steel production — the method used in new-build hull construction — emits approximately 1.85 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of steel produced, according to the World Steel Association. For an 80m+ vessel, the embodied carbon cost of a new hull is substantial.

An AUTON YACHTS conversion retains the existing hull in its entirety — eliminating the most carbon-intensive phase of the build process. The embodied carbon in the donor hull is preserved and extended rather than replicated. For environmentally conscious clients, it is a meaningful and demonstrable advantage.

The Principle
"Reusing a proven hull eliminates the carbon cost of building one from scratch — steel production, shipyard energy, new materials — all avoided."
Circular Build Philosophy — CYB

Six steps.
One partner.
20 months.

The AUTON YACHTS parallel-track process is the key to the 20-month delivery. Design and donor vessel acquisition run simultaneously — so that when the hull arrives at the conversion yard, the design is complete and modules are already in fabrication.
