Oceanco reverts to Steam power?

Well… not quite.

But with gaming tycoon Gabe Newell—co-founder of Valve and the mastermind behind Steam (the iTunes of gaming)—now acquiring iconic Dutch yacht builder Oceanco, the waters just got a whole lot more interesting.

Newell’s no stranger to the marine world. He’s already deep in it (literally), with the 127m Y722 currently in build, and his ambitious deep-sea research initiative INKFISH operating some of the most advanced ocean-exploration gear on the planet.
As Oceanco themselves put it: “Business as usual — but amplified.”

With Newell’s tech pedigree and Oceanco’s trailblazing maritime craftsmanship, this fusion could reshape what the future of superyacht building looks like.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t take as long as Half-Life 3 to arrive. 😄
