The high-end yacht market is an exclusive space where innovation meets luxury, but with economic pressures tightening budgets, purchasing a new yacht is a serious decision. Recognising this, yacht broker Paul MacDonald has introduced a unique opportunity for prospective buyers: a “try before you buy” experience aboard the OT-60.
A bold new approach to yacht ownership
In an unprecedented move, Paul MacDonald has arranged for the OT-60 to be available for charter under a special offer. Those who book a week-long charter of the OT-60— in Greece —will have their full charter fee refunded should they go on to purchase the yacht.
This initiative allows buyers to experience the vessel in real-world conditions, giving them the confidence to commit to ownership. With luxury yacht purchases being major investments, this trial period offers an unrivalled opportunity to test the yacht’s performance, comfort, and suitability before making a final decision.
Paul MacDonald, known for his expertise in matching discerning buyers with the perfect yachts, is available through his website to discuss the offer. He will also be present at the Auckland Boat Show, where interested parties can meet him in person to explore the Omikron’s OT-60 and other models in his portfolio.
The Omikron 60: Where luxury meets efficiency
The OT-60 is more than just a yacht; it’s a testament to refined yachting, where modern innovation meets traditional Mediterranean seafaring philosophy. Designed to offer a seamless blend of efficiency and elegance, the OT-60 provides the quiet, steady cruise of a sailboat while maintaining the convenience and space of a motor yacht.
Philosophy: A modern take on classic seafaring
Omikron Yachts has reimagined what a luxury yacht can be, embracing sustainability while drawing inspiration from time-honoured maritime traditions. The OT-60 is designed for those who appreciate slow, immersive journeys at sea—where the voyage is just as important as the destination.
Design: An elegant and functional masterpiece
The OT-60’s sleek exterior is the work of renowned designer Lorenzo Argento, with the interior styling crafted by Ciarmoli Quaeda Studio. Large wrap-around windows encircle the deckhouse, offering panoramic 360-degree views and natural ventilation. The design philosophy ensures an open, airy feel without the need for excessive reflective surfaces.
Interior: Space redefined
Unlike conventional yachts, the OT-60’s lower deck is partially elevated, creating an open-concept double-height annex that links the staterooms to the main living area. This layout allows for a spacious galley and an indoor dining area, adding to the yacht’s homely yet sophisticated ambiance. Two layout options are available, offering either three or four cabins, each with its own private bathroom—perfect for hosting family or guests in unparalleled comfort.
Technical excellence: Strength and stability
Constructed with a dedicated production line, the OT-60 features a hull built using vacuum infusion technology, combined with a carbon-fibre superstructure. This reduces weight in the upper sections of the yacht, improving stability and fuel efficiency. All woodwork and assembly are carried out in-house, ensuring superior craftsmanship and attention to detail.
An exclusive opportunity at the Auckland Boat Show
With the “try before you buy” initiative, Paul MacDonald is making luxury yacht ownership more accessible and risk-free. Prospective buyers can immerse themselves in the OT-60 experience before committing, offering peace of mind and a first-hand appreciation of the yacht’s capabilities.
For those interested, Paul is available through his website and will be at the Auckland Boat Show, ready to discuss this remarkable offer and showcase the OT-60’s exceptional features.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a yacht but wanted to experience it before making the investment, this is your chance. The OT-60 awaits—are you ready to set sail?
