Inside LOMOcean's vision for Deo Juvante
When innovation meets experience
We’re thrilled to share a behind-the-scenes look into the visionary minds shaping the new Deo Juvante fleet—a project where innovation, decades of experience, and purpose-driven design converge. Leading the naval architecture is Craig Loomes of LOMOcean Design (New Zealand), a studio celebrated worldwide for their bold and capable explorer yachts. With international recognition, including a World Superyacht Award, LOMOcean continues to set the standard for cutting-edge yacht design.
Rooted in real-life exploration
In the following video, Craig reflects on the creative journey of working alongside Thierry Verstraete, founder of Deo Juvante. With more than 40 years of sailing experience and seven liveaboard vessels to his name, Thierry brought an uncompromising vision shaped by real-world expeditions. His goal: to design yachts that are not only striking, but also truly livable, safe, and self-sufficient—crafted for long-range voyaging and authentic life at sea.
Fusion of performance and aesthetics
Craig also highlights the collaboration with Belgian interior designer Kurt Wallaeys, whose refined sense of style and comfort introduced a whole new dimension to the project. The result is a fleet that merges performance with aesthetics—pushing the boundaries of what explorer yachts can be. For those seeking a yacht built to go the distance, designed with soul, expertise, and intention, the new Deo Juvante fleet is one to watch.
