Omikron Yachts to Debut at Palm Beach
A new take on long-range cruising is arriving in the U.S.
The boating world will be watching closely as Omikron Yachts prepares to make its debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
The emerging yacht builder has been generating buzz globally with its unique philosophy of efficient, long-range cruising—and Palm Beach will be one of the first opportunities for many in the U.S. boating community to see the brand up close.
A Different Approach to Yachting
Omikron Yachts is centered around a concept often referred to as “slow yachting.”
Rather than focusing purely on speed, the design philosophy prioritizes:
• Long-range cruising
• Fuel efficiency
• Comfort on extended passages
• A more relaxed experience on the water

For many modern yacht owners, this approach reflects a shift toward experiencing the journey—not just the destination.
Spotlight on the OT-60
One of the models drawing the most attention is the OT-60, a yacht designed to combine sailing efficiency with the comfort of a motor yacht.
The OT-60 features:
- Approximately 60 feet in length
- Up to 2,000 nautical miles of cruising range
- Spacious interiors with large panoramic windows
- A layout typically featuring three staterooms
Its hull was designed by renowned naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, while the yacht’s styling comes from Italian designer Lorenzo Argento—a collaboration that blends performance engineering with modern European design.
A Brand Backed by Experience
While the name Omikron may be new to many boaters, the shipyard is backed by Olympic Marine, a major marine facility in Greece with decades of yacht-building and marina development experience.
This foundation allows the company to combine modern yacht design with established shipyard expertise.
Why It Matters
The debut of Omikron Yachts in Palm Beach signals a broader trend in the boating industry.
Today’s buyers are increasingly looking for vessels that offer:
✔ Greater cruising range
✔ Improved fuel efficiency
