OK!

OK is the perfect example of upcycling done right and on a whole new scale. It started out as a ship carrier, a 146-meter (479-foot) 1982 support vessel known as Super Servant 3, built by Oshima Shipbuilding from Japan. 

During its three years at the Turkish shipyard, it’s been turned into a proper superyacht.

Having a superyacht that can go below the waterline for almost 70% of its surface, yet maintain full functionality of the area the rest of the time, is something no other explorer yacht can do.

Karmarine reinforced the large open deck aft so that, when it emerges above water level, it can carry as many as 70 different water toys, including multiple tenders, buggies, amphibious vehicles, a sea plane, and a 46-meter (150-foot) yacht. There’s also a very convenient car ramp available.

When the deck is not used as a garage, it can be used for leisure activities by the 20 guests on board, be they tennis, lounging in the sun or whatever else you can think of – and can be done in an open space of 3,300 square meters (35,520 square feet).

Despite its brutish exterior, Bozca says OK is primed for a luxurious life. The master bedroom has 360-degree views thanks to expansive glazing, and there’s a jacuzzi on the sundeck, as well as an indoor pool surrounded by glass walls. 

OK also gets an outdoor cinema, as well as a botanical garden and three aquariums.
