Dutch design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> has disclosed the details of their latest superyacht concept: a 60-metre explorer yacht, Project Supernova based on the extension and upgrade of the 54-metre sister ship of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2775" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cosmo Explorer (Company)">Cosmo Explorer</a> yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="I Nova49.75m (163'3&quot;)Cosmo Explorer2013">I Nova</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308392/image/large-dac81ccd0c165f39e3c8f6121288fbdf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308392">Considering the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> team assisted with the 50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="I Nova49.75m (163'3&quot;)Cosmo Explorer2013">I Nova</a> yacht, it is no surprise that their skillset was utilised a second time for the revamping of the second I Nova (Supernova 60) hull’s exterior and interior design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308386/image/large-b7f28eda3aeacd716ea306dcd506fc43.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308386">Tailor-made to suit an intrepid owner, the bespoke yacht needs to meet the demands of a client who “is always on the move and wants a yacht that can keep up,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>’s co-creative director Marnix Hoekstra explained. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308395/image/large-7de7f4ccc36700180ecd0dcb9b918491.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308395">One of the most important additions to Project Supernova is her spacious beach club located on the lower deck aft, where fold-down platforms on either side provide hammocks while at anchor. Continuity from the beach club to the main deck aft is possible thanks to the clever inclusion of stepped access. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308391/image/large-438ea0196d5a51235851c4dc12cb75f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308391">To fulfil the needs of her adventurous owner, Supernova features a fully-stocked dive centre, as well as an expansive helipad on the bridge deck aft complete with an integrated crane for transporting a large submersible or tenders. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308382/image/large-30f9120fbb35c426e58ed4cb76f6966f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308382">In order to further accommodate an active lifestyle, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> chose to leave plenty of room for two 12-metre containers to store expedition gear such as bicycles and cars, that can be used for island outings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308389/image/large-a1ad14ed6db361163cccfa46d0410d40.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308389">Regarding her interior blueprint, the brief of “a contemporary take on classic America” was demonstrated through the presence of brooding dark wooden panelling, and a colour palette defined by greys, blues, and browns.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308394/image/large-bb6aa0ae756546b73446c2830fdfac60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308394">Furthermore, luxurious bronze plating, invitingly soft leathers, oak furniture, stark architectural lines, and a playful use of texture throughout results in a simultaneously homey and “masculine feel”, as requested by the owner.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308398/image/large-aafb6d3d068b34cef93c7eb236f8a54c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308398">In addition, the owner wanted to feel as though he was “in touch with the sky, water and nature,” Hoekstra commented.This vision is reflected in the combination of colour and metal inserts with juxtaposition of light and dark materials. One of the most standout features is found in the plush main salon, where a hammered rock centrepiece beside the bar is paired with an extravagant calf skin bar topping.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308393/image/large-89f9f1fef6141d07e628ca4679e52196.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308393">Not only that, but the “man cave” ambiance is further augmented by the addition of a cigar lounge forward, along with a private office so that the owner can work while on the go.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308399/image/large-fcd7c19e453c9f61777f4e5eec665290.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308399">By steering almost entirely clear of doors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> achieves an open-plan configuration resembling that of a loft apartment, so guests can thrive in a state of roomy, unrestricted comfort.&nbsp;The same “infinite feeling” is also emphasised by the double glass walkway on both sides of the vessel forward which means that those lounging in the main saloon are always able to take in stunning sea views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308397/image/large-8f70689c690018ac75b65615816cf2b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308397">In terms of her accommodation, there is a full-beam VIP situated on the main deck, and four guest staterooms on the lower deck, in which ensuite bathrooms boast marbling and sleek metal taps. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308396/image/large-50777f1facf27315a628d402ba4a1684.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308396">Guest socialising and entertainment can be hosted in a second dining room found on the bridge deck. Meanwhile, on the level above, an oval-shaped master suite allows private access to forward and aft decks, as well as an exterior fire pit, for an optimal sense of opulent privacy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308388/image/large-cd8051d2efb7dc7e590f9c0a736be0cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308388">When it comes to outdoor living areas, Supernova’s sundeck contains a Jacuzzi, bar, prime sunbathing spots, and an extensive panorama of views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308390/image/large-a8f67171fa2e6652f6d4c887ccfdadd5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308390">

Her fluid spaces use elegant materials that define a new approach to luxury. The rich contemporary design vocabulary is harmoniously developed throughout the boat from the bridge deck to the lower deck." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308305/image/large-b9eaafed8d0238c9c76c0d0f400a4fec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308305"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308304/image/large-52b3e290a378698bd12072f07b33a3df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308304">In addition to the owner's suite, Arwen features six staterooms on the main deck, four doubles and two twins, each with a large ensuite bathroom.

Exclusive: Unveiling 114m in-build Dörries superyacht Arwen

With construction of the 34-metre yacht Project 111.11 nearing completion at the Netherlands-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> shipyard, recently unveiled renders exhibit the practicality and Moon-inspired aesthetics of the vessel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287124/image/large-9360dc84782eb7fd76385bfbcd5df75a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287124">Due to be delivered in 2024, the custom yacht Project 111.11 features exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>, while her interiors are derived from the drawing boards of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287123/image/large-ac476ae34701314195cddc10d5fabb3a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287123">The US-based designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem</a> was reportedly given free reign of the yacht’s lavish interiors, as the clients informed her, “‘You have carte blanche to do whatever you want, Carla; let us see some reference images at the start and then you lead the way with your imagination,’ they said. It’s everything a designer wants to hear,” Guilhem recalled.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287116/image/large-9a08089cf2c4e22f43d68668bf956e1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287116">One truly custom aspect of Project 111.11’s indoor living spaces is the asymmetrical lounge, and an additional beam that gives way to a full-beam master suite located on the main deck complete with a spacious walk-in wardrobe.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287118/image/large-8d681f9777d897fc3674a2be9d2483c4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287118">Furthermore, four comfortable ensuite staterooms, including two twin staterooms and two VIP amidships with personal desk stations, ensure a comfortable stay for the remaining guests onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287119/image/large-610981d2cd638ab109cde10d08413e48.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287119">Guilhem drew inspiration from images of both the Moon and Mars, which is especially evident in the oval shape of the windows, star-like lighting fixtures, and the loose furniture that give the impression of an aerial, floating atmosphere. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287114/image/large-bf9eb784e7ba52b717511b5ce1dab1a1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287114">Among the vessel’s centrepieces is the palatial, futuristic main saloon, where brightly coloured plants, softly spherical sofas and armchairs, unique sculptures, and a formal dining area flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows compose a welcoming social hub.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287112/image/large-6b733dd854488ef7d2603174046dafcc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287112">The same style of rounded, ecru-coloured furniture can be found in the yacht’s equally comfortable bridge deck saloon, where an array of vegetation and geometric coffee tables convey a connection to modernity as well as nature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308335/image/large-f7c8148eee66dfd62f59e1f8ff4fb6be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308335">The unexpected use of geometry extends to every detail of the yacht, down to her luxurious bathrooms equipped with asymmetrical or oval-shaped mirrors and fashionably monochromatic marble.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308336/image/large-8ed61a27af5df155d0bbab1a89e51b2b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308336"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287122/image/large-02e243cbef00c937792da1abcc1fa3b0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287122">When it comes to Project 111.11’s accommodation, a colour palette defined by crisp whites, creams, and beiges, state of the art entertainment systems, along with overhead lighting arranged in the thematic oval-formation, provide staterooms with an opulent yet practical feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287120/image/large-802828aa80e7c9b903ac65a243986842.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287120">In addition, the VIP staterooms’ contemporary, cream-coloured desk areas overlook an expansive sea view ideal for quiet concentration or contemplation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287117/image/large-eca8ded6c133ac20bb8ebb7dfd08c5be.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287117">According to designer Guido de Groot, the yacht’s angular exterior silhouette reflects the client’s penchant “for straight lines, with all angles pointing in the same direction going forward”. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308326/image/large-9fa9eeb36f14256a724dd465e27f8ce3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308326">Moreover, “four decks on a 34-metre yacht is no small feat and every deck has its own specific requirements. The choice to have a chase boat rather than an onboard tender freed up space in the aft area for a fold-out platform and a lovely lazarette entertainment area with room to store jet-skis and a gym,” De Groot added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287126/image/large-cc136b36471bc6c8dd68774c5bb6be85.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287126"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287128/image/large-df9f6b10158c1ab5cb4a56efff59ceb8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287128">This collaborative creation is currently beginning to manifest at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> yard, and is expected to be delivered to her owner in the third quarter of this year. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308327/image/large-ca88b5c9f1eb1be987c1541486eb37dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308327">

This advanced design and planning allows for the concept to begin building immediately.&nbsp;The XP75 yacht is characterised by a rugged and masculine exterior design, with gently inclined windows. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

Her dark-painted bridge and sundeck also have a reduced height to create a low and sleek profile on the water.“A key word when we were designing the XP75 was flexibility,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a> project manager Martino Majno. “She is an Ice Class yacht designed to operate in temperatures from -20 °C to 40°C, she is just as at home in the Arctic as in the Caribbean.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308129/image/large-edb0b85f609c587d3a952abf6eb7f854.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308129">The XP75 yacht has been designed to ensure operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. She features special double glazing, which reduces heat transfer and her engine cooling water is recycled.&nbsp;The main saloon of the XP75 yacht features floor-to-ceiling windows, which illuminate the room and highlight her three metre ceiling. However, the centre-piece of the room is her aquarium, which provides an eye-catching display for guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308126/image/large-2fc572551302d4c2d43920bcfec2f4af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308126">The XP75 yacht can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, as well as a crew of 24, with five guest staterooms on her main deck forward. Her foremost VIP suite can also be divided by sliding panels to create an extra ensuite stateroom. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308123/image/large-8e7ec49fcc0ef75e57f55ba87d12393e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308123">The upper deck of the XP75 yacht is dedicated to the owner and features a forward-facing stateroom with an island bed.

Her beach club includes a sauna, beauty salon and hammam and sunken bar underneath the pool on the main deck, while three fold-down platforms increase the space to 185 square-metres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308125/image/large-0a269d78ebc2dd45cc3ef4273d3055af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308125">Her main deck includes a pool with a base that can be raised, so the 273-square-metre aft deck also doubles as a helipad. Further forward and protected by a sunroof that slides out of the deckhead, is a sunken seating area, bar, DJ console and open-air cinema.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308128/image/large-93233cd40a37a6e98f29fbfab5c491c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308128">A key feature of the XP75 yacht is her skylounge on the upper deck aft, which features a projector for use as a cinema room. Her foredeck also doubles as a touch-and-go helipad when the yacht is at anchor, thanks to a telescopic mast and covered mooring deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308122/image/large-abcc8040ddf16a42da0a069d88d2dab5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308122">The wheelhouse on the bridge deck is designed for maximum visibility in ice conditions with a walk-around integrated <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6426" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kongsberg Maritime (Company)">Kongsberg</a> console and a Portuguese bridge.

40m yacht project Unica by ISA Yachts

 ISA Yachts have announced the commencement of their new 40-metre project, a superyacht by the name of Unica.

Introducing the 40m superyacht project Unica by ISA Yachts

Over the past decade, Turkey has emerged as an increasingly attractive location for 30-metres plus superyacht refits among owners worldwide. This surge in popularity can be attributed to a number of things, such as the cost-effectiveness of its refit works, facilitated by historically lower labour costs and favourable foreign currency exchange rates.Furthermore, the appeal of Turkey is heightened by the saturation of many European refit yards each season, coupled with ongoing developments in Turkey’s marina infrastructure and the growing allure of its coastline as a travel destination.According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>, there was a significant upswing in the number of 30-metres-plus yachts undergoing refits from 2017 to 2021, from 18 superyachts undergoing refits in 2017 to an impressive 78 in 2021.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309766/image/large-3e0c00de0f58ad553ced3fd724d25575.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309766"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309768/image/large-40133701a430c072aa2b45865b3425f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309768">Burak Nergiz from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2580" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="KRM Yacht Refit & Repair (Company)">KRM</a> explained that the significant transformation observed in the Turkish refit sector over the past decade can be attributed to the development of refit infrastructure and a strategic shift in refit approach, enabling an increased capacity for yachts. Nergiz notes that “before 2010, many refit yards were part of shipyard manufacturers, and there was no dedicated company solely focused on refits until the establishment of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2580" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="KRM Yacht Refit & Repair (Company)">KRM</a>.” Moreover, in 2018, as evidence of the growing demand for refits, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2580" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="KRM Yacht Refit & Repair (Company)">KRM</a> expanded its capabilities by acquiring a 300-ton travel lift, thereby enhancing the capacity for refitting yachts up to 45-metres in size.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290001/image/large-4b7e41140270bcdfb299e428802d1bd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290001">Despite the growth up to 2021, the years 2022 and 2023, witnessed a reduction in refit activities within the Turkish superyacht market. Nevertheless, Turkey appears to have retained its substantial global market presence, constituting approximately 5% of the total number of vessels undergoing refit operations compared to 13% in France and 14% in Spain.The decrease in the number of yachts frequenting Turkey for refit can be attributed to a combination of reasons. These range from the deterioration of financial conditions in Turkey to a considerable increase in the number of superyachts undergoing refits in previous years, along with a rise in new-build projects that has resulted in a lack of space for new refit projects.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289999/image/large-49c974f4ef421f68ce3035431b7181d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289999">According to the Associated Press, the Turkish economy is grappling with a currency crisis and soaring inflation, significantly affecting labour wages and the prices of raw materials. Ersun Sengun founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7431" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mono Yachting (Company)">Mono Yachting</a>, a full yacht services agency based in Bodrum, has undertaken numerous projects over the years and is currently working on the refit of the 49-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MMM49.0m (160'9&quot;)Amels1993">MMM</a>. He confirms the economic impact on the yacht sector, affirming: “due to inflation, the minimum salary for workers has increased unbelievably from 2,500 to 11,500 Lira in three years, and now we are expecting to see it rise to approximately 17,500 Lira this year, representing a substantial 600% increase from the initial 2,500 Lira.” This is noteworthy, as the cost of refitting a yacht 30-metres plus in Turkey has now become comparable to that in France, Italy, and Spain. Ersun highlights this shift by recounting a conversation with a superyacht captain who informed him, “the cost of the refit is now almost the same as Palma.” But despite the increase in price, the “captain was still adamant about carrying out the refit in Turkey due to our craftsmanship and attention to detail”. Ersun further emphasised that in Palma, “where many yachts are stacked on top of each other, there is a lack of focus and attention to detail, unlike the work carried out in Turkey.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289998/image/large-ee8dc32e950f13db1d1bf4a5f7ee566f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289998">Regarding the impact of inflation on the sector, Bogdan Gusarev, Sales Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bering Yachts (Company)">Bering Yachts</a>, notes, "Turkey has a different approach to inflation compared to people in Europe. While sudden inflation spikes of 10 percent may cause panic elsewhere, Turkey, being more accustomed to inflation has adapted to this economic reality and found effective coping mechanisms. This isn't a new challenge for them, having dealt with ongoing issues even before the impact of Covid. Consequently, this trend is likely to persist. I believe Europe is currently grappling with more severe challenges in terms of pricing and a shortage of skilled labour.”Aside from the economic impact on the Turkish refit market, another factor contributing to the decline in the number of refit projects is the upsurge in new-build yachts, leading to a shortage of available space for refit endeavours. Berkay Yilmaz, Commercial Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin Yachts</a> commented: “While we acknowledge the growing demand for new-builds, it's important to highlight that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin Yachts</a> is currently dedicated to the maintenance and refit of our existing projects, which encompasses both new builds and refit assignments. At present, we are unable to accept external refit projects”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289997/image/large-ce2eb361eb72d5bfe3360e04f2dec97c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289997">Moreover, Aleksandra Podlipna, Megayacht Technical Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5160" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="West Istanbul Marina (Company)">West Istanbul Marina</a>, who is working on the refit project of a 67-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, further confirms this stating that: “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin</a> expanded the size of their vessels. Previously, they constructed yachts ranging from 35 to 50 metres, but now they are working on yachts as large as 80-metres. As a result, their facilities are occupied with new building projects. Moreover, this trend is also evident with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a>, as they have also increased the size of their in-build yachts. This heightened demand has created constraints on both manpower and facility space for other refit projects”.An analysis of <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>'s data on the number of new yacht sales further substantiates Ersun’s and Podlipna’s observations, revealing a notable increase in new-build projects within the region. In 2023 there were 21 new yacht sales and 30 in 2022, a substantial rise from 16 in 2020.Furthermore, Bogdan provided insight, stating, ”I can confirm that major projects are currently underway in Turkey, not merely in the conceptual phase but in the construction stage. These projects surpass the 30-metre range. Specifically, I'm monitoring numerous developments within the Antalya Free Zone, where multiple projects of 40-metres plus are actively under construction.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289995/image/large-f81ff82958c786d1d9aff2945420fd38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289995">Oguz Bilgin, sales manager at TransDiesel, a company that distributes John Deere Power Systems in Turkey, highlighted an interesting development, where many commercial shipyards are transitioning into the superyacht sector, particularly in the refit aspect. He highlighted that Tersan Shipyard has opened a superyacht refit division called <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7461" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tersan Marine (Company)">Tersan Marine</a>, with a large refit area in development covering a total of 200,000 square-metres in Oren, Turkey. After a brief conversation with Fatih Çelik, the Refit and Boatyard Manager Of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7461" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tersan Marine (Company)">Tersan Marine</a> confirmed this development and affirmed that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7461" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tersan Marine (Company)">Tersan Marine</a>’s facilities in Oren aims to make standard maintenance and refit works for superyachts. Whilst the work is still in progress, the facility recently unveiled an 820-ton travel lift and can accommodate superyachts up to 65-metres in the drydock area. The establishment of this facility, in cooperation with the Turkish government has created a refit ecosystem, attracting various nautical supply chain companies to the area.Regarding the future impact on the Turkish refit market and the Turkish superyacht sector as a whole, Bogdan highlighted that there are challenges with many skilled labourers moving to Europe or other destinations due to uncertainties. However, he acknowledges that this is a temporary period. “It is now imperative for companies to provide incentives to retain qualified personnel''. Despite economic deterioration and focus on large new-build projects, there are further positive signs of the Turkish refit market as seen with the development of refit infrastructure capable of carrying out multiple refit projects simultaneously. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309769/image/large-3d5cf723171be50b03110798133585d8.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309769">
