Why yacht owners are taking things into their own hands and setting up shop in the superyacht industryWhile most superyacht owners prefer to remain on the consumer side of the business, there are some who have decided to venture further into the industry in the hopes of improving yachting for all. But what spurred these owners to make the leap from passive yachtie to industry leader? What areas of the business do they aim to improve and, most importantly, how? Here we pick the brains behind the founders of charter platform Ahoy Club, shipyards Lynx Yacht and Esenyacht and fractional ownership platform SeaNet Europe to learn the answers.Commissioning a new-build is thoroughly enjoyable, but sometimes laborious task, even with the right support team at hand. After struggling and failing to find a single yard that satisfied all of their own design and building requirements, experienced yachtsmen Slim Bouricha and Kadir Esen, founders of yards Lynx Yachts and Esenyacht respectively, decided to take matters in their own hands and establish their own shipbuilding facilities.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48346/image/large-cc22ab118281bbf48c601521a346ff45.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48346">After working for a company that designed and built facilities for oil and gas producers prior to branching out and setting up his first business Beender, Tunisia-born Slim Bouricha decided the time was right to build the yacht of his dreams in 2011. Dissatisfied with what the market offered him, he says: “One of the reasons I decided to set up Lynx Yachts was because I believed that many yacht owners went through the same process. I thought I could create a yacht building company that offered a building process that would match the needs of many yachtsmen. The idea was to put the owner at the very centre of the project.” The first yacht to sail off of Lynx Yachts drawing board was the 33.9-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4975" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Robbie Bobby 33.39m (109'7&quot;)">Robbie Boddy</a>, (ex; <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4975" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Robbie Bobby 33.39m (109'7&quot;)">Jericho</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4975" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Robbie Bobby 33.39m (109'7&quot;)">Helidad II</a>), together with the first YXT, a range of super-cool yacht support vessels.Similarly Kadir Esen, a successful entrepreneur whose portfolio consists of charter, hospitality and leisure companies, set up Esenyacht in 2009 in Bodrum, Turkey in order to build his first yacht, the 36-metre sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4511" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Glorious36.0m (118'1&quot;)">Glorious</a>. “Yachting has been in my blood for as long as I can remember,” explains Esen. “I was initially attracted by regatta racing and then later by the idea of cruising with my family. This passion led me to choose to build my first yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4511" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Glorious36.0m (118'1&quot;)">Glorious</a>.” Although Esen has closely followed the yachting industry for a number of years, he, too, was unable to find a yard that was able to meet all of his needs as an owner. Esen felt that many of the yachts built speculatively offer a somewhat “watered-down” design or are too tailored to an individual’s taste. “I dreamed we could build a thoroughbred superyacht that would offer dynamic lines, performance, a voluminous and luxurious layout – capable of creating wide appeal and reflecting international and local owners.” This dream accumulated in the 47-metre sailing yacht Troy, currently in build at the yard’s facility in Turkey and set to launch later this year.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48381/image/large-447e564c954f89b558ba541f39d726ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48381">Both Lynx Yachts and Esenyacht have grown over the years, no doubt thanks to the dedication and passion their founders put into their respective yards. Lynx Yachts recently sold its 5th yacht, the 4th YXT support vessel since its establishment, while Esenyacht is currently working on a number of new superyachts concepts with designer Tim Saunders, following a number of international enquiries in addition to developing a new range of semi-production vessels in the 9 to 24-metre range.As yacht owners as well as successful entrepreneurs, we wonder what is their opinion on other yacht owners establishing their own yacht building facilities? “I think many yacht owners get into the yacht building business for the wrong reasons, thinking they might save money,”&nbsp;notes Bouricha. “This is why it often turns into a business statement. But, there are also success stories. It’s not always a total failure, but wanting to own a yacht is not enough of a reason to start a yacht building company.”&nbsp;Esen agrees, adding that creating a superyacht is comparable to building a small city. “Building a yacht is not for the weak hearted,” he confirms. At the same time, Esen feels like he is in an advantageous position when it comes to overseeing his own shipyard. “I am able to guide and direct the flow of the project to make good use of the latest technology which is balanced by high-quality craftsmanship – without being bound to any inherent ‘bad habits in the cobwebs’ possessed by some of the longer standing shipyards.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48421/image/large-0b32522913c3015f0c7e3ea51da45eee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48421">It’s not all smooth sailing and a long list of ‘pros’, however, as both Bouricha and Esen have also had to overcome significant hurdles to ensure success. For Bouricha, one main challenge was the handling of the marketing of Lynx Yachts. As many in the yachting business and beyond know only too well, ensuring that the market is aware of all you have to offer is no small undertaking. “At times people just see us as a yacht builder. They don’t know we build yacht support vessels as well as custom yachts,” says Bouricha.&nbsp;For Esen, one challenge the yard had to overcome was the rescheduling of Troy’s delivery in order to improve her overall build in 2016. However, with Troy in her final resting place prior to her completion and launch, Esen is positive she will be delivered soon. “We now focus our thoughts on finalising the fine details, launch day and beyond!”&nbsp;Overcoming challenges are part of the running of any business but it also sparks new ideas, such as Ahoy Club. Entrepreneur Ian Malouf set up Ahoy Club, a digital superyacht charter platform May this year, seeking to make chartering more accessible and transparent. Also known in Australia as the “king of waste,” Malouf has owned numerous boats and chartered over the years after setting up the leading waste management service provider and recycler in New South Wales, Dial-A-Dump Industries, as a student back in 1984. “The idea for Ahoy came to me very early on. I’ve chartered my whole life and it was just a difficult, long process,” says Malouf. “You have to find a broker, contact them and it would take weeks to book a charter… you sort of lose the excitement of wanting to book it after a while.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48349/image/large-912ea88a147a960fcba45ee72b53fbfd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48349">Following the purchase of the 52.4-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mischief52.45m (172'1&quot;)">Mischief</a> in 2015, Malouf and his family came up with a few ideas that set them off on the path to developing the software needed to bring Ahoy Club to the market. “I decided we could probably improve on the situation.” Accessible via an app and on any digital device, Ahoy Club charges users a commission of 4%, together with a software fee of 3% instead of the usual 20% charged by most brokerage companies to charter, making it more affordable for all. “We are definitely cheaper. We are not making as much money but that's okay - there was too much fat in it. We trimmed the fat.”&nbsp;Another man who has new ideas - especially when it comes to yacht ownership is Matty Zadnikar, owner of the 28.5-metre Benetti <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mister Z28.5m (93'6&quot;)">Mister Z</a> and founder of SeaNet Europe. &nbsp;Offering fractional ownership via a defined model that outlines how many weeks each owner has onboard their yacht in relation to their percentage ownership, &nbsp;SeaNet Europe is the sister company to SeaNet USA. The company offers owners a 75% reduction in the initial yacht purchase price and running costs, in addition to usage during the peak European yachting season and full cost transparency. “SeaNet USA and SeaNet Europe offer something completely different and ultimately that’s why our model works and is going from strength to strength,” explains Zadnikar. &nbsp;After selling his company Z-Safety Services in 2013, he began spending more time on his yacht during which he met with other owners who felt frustrated by the lack of time they were able to spend onboard their yachts and the constant costs. “I was aware that many companies have dipped their toe in the world of yacht co-ownership in the past and failed. This has been for a multitude of reasons, like the age of the yachts, the number of co-owners, impossible allowances for time spent on-board and a somewhat murky structure.” However, after meeting with the owner of SeaNet USA, he felt he had found the right model and launched SeaNet Europe. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48347/image/large-ecc71b8b0ceb730b01660deedb6ed94f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48347">Yachting is a small industry, so one may wonder what charter and brokerage companies think of these new digital platforms who may be encroaching on their territory. Is there a similar reaction, for example, as Uber received from traditional taxi firms? “We’ve had mixed responses. I think the big brokerage houses don’t like us, they definitely don’t want the change we are bringing,” says Malouf. “Foolishly, I think they hoped it wouldn’t come. But I think ‘Uber-ising’ this industry would be something that is an eye-opener for everybody.” As Ahoy Club functions on a worldwide scale, the openness of the platform is key. “We are all about improving and bringing in more charters to the industry.”&nbsp;Despite mixed thoughts on the global sharing economy, Zadnikar is a firm believer that shared ownership will become an increasingly popular model in the future, especially for those who have chartered before but are not ready to own a yacht on their own. “Certainly I think the SeaNet Europe concept will continue to appeal to more and more superyacht owners. For example, when people first talked about UHNW sharing a jet people thought that it was never going to work, but now there are many companies that have made co-ownership of jets an extremely popular model." However, although he sees room in the market for similar ownership models, he is aware that there is a certain ceiling when it comes to the size of the yacht. “As a yacht owner, I fully recognise that those seeking yachts above 40-metres have no interest in co-owning a yacht. We are not targeting this sector, which is why we start at 28.5 metres and will expand to 41 metres.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48348/image/large-9e2fd31dad4e4da5b7b8de48650e72a9.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48348">Malouf fully agrees with Zadnikar that the yachting industry is embracing newer models driven by the sharing economy. “I mean, look at Airbnb, it’s great! It offers people the chance to earn off their asset where they normally wouldn’t have.” In addition to their chartering platform and 24/7 concierge services, Ahoy Club also offers YOTSWAP, where owners of private yachts or commercial ships can swap their vessels around the world. “People are very interested in that as it lets them avoid the empty-voyage sort of situation. It’s all about utilizing the asset when you’re not using it yourself.”&nbsp;Outside of new models of ownership, what other areas do these owners in the business foresee becoming more and more important to the future of the industry? “Emerging markets and younger markets,” states Malouf. “These emerging markets are up and coming, but many individuals do not feel comfortable boating and how to go about chartering because it is just too unknown. We have to open that up.” In order to help open up these markets, Ahoy Club is set to launch in multiple languages in the next few months, making it easier for people to find out what is available in their region in their local language. Zadnikar has also set his sights on Asia, as SeaNet is set to attend the Singapore Yacht Show next year, signalling the start of SeaNet’s launch in Asia. “There are certainly exciting times ahead,” he concludes.This article is featured in the latest edition of the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

Once complete, she will be able to accommodate up to 12 guests and 10 crew members. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/40437/image/large-f1c741286d6232125ca52ab29745b39e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40437"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/40436/image/large-47fb54e3fa1a9a301b358587a1fbfb2a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40436">SYT previously visited the shipyard in 2016, shortly after the team at Esenyacht revealed they had decided to reschedule the launch of the 47.2-metre sailing yacht to improve the overall quality of the build. However, shortly afterwards the build of the superyacht was put on hold. Construction is believed to have been restarted again in 2018 and we next year we expect to see her sailing.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/40435/image/large-450f73094e17e643043dabd2422e58a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40435"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/40466/image/large-4028b0fb2c7086a4d772f0f931608f9f.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40466">

Exclusive: Esenyacht 47m Troy on the move

Last week the SuperYacht Times team visited the Esenyacht shipyard in Bodrum, Turkey. Founded in 2009 by Turkish entrepreneur Kadir Esen, the shipyard completed their very first superyacht in 2011, the 36 metre sailing yacht Glorious. Currently for sale, during our visit Esenyacht was in the final stages of closing a deal on the vessel.

 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/159981/image/large-142fc0e96a43ad001335bb388f53e072.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/159981">

 

 

Following the completion of Glorious five years ago, the company began construction of their second superyacht in 2012, the highly anticipated 47.25 metre sloop Troy. While completion was originally scheduled for 2015, the team at Esenyacht explained to SYT that they had decided to reschedule the launch in order to improve the quality of the build.

 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/159982/image/large-75f76e80429c068f0133b7d9439ab388.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/159982">

 

 

Specific challenges posed within the build of Troy included the complicated in-house construction of the composite mast and boom. Under the guidance of Nicholas Beadle, however, Esenyacht overcame the challenge and has successfully completed the mast, with industry experts at Gurit impressed by the quality of the construction.

 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/159983/image/large-7579b2be028d1dca326e8cea4ed07d32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/159983">

 

 

It seems as though what was originally a stumbling block for the company has become an asset, as now with the gain of the valuable knowledge of building complicated composite structures they plan to start selling composite structures and parts to the market. This will be upon completion of Troy, and be operated under a separate company name; Esen Composites.

 
	During our visit we were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Troy, where work was being carried out on the owner’s suite, with most of the interior already finished. The new launch date for Troy has been set at the end of the summer 2016, after which extensive sea trials will begin. She is scheduled for delivery towards the end of the year.

Update on superyacht project Troy by Esenyacht

Esenyacht's largest project to date, the 47 metre superyacht Troy is on track for a launch later this year. The yard tells us the engine compartment, housing the single Caterpillar C32 1000hp engine, is very close to completion now.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155109/image/large-ab907afac452044011c7619ccfa8f999.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155109">Project Manager Serkan Kologlu had a template made of the engine exhaust riser to ensure that it would fit with ample space for the yacht’s engineer to have access to all of the equipment.The Turkish shipyard is also working on the staircase leading to the lower aft deck, to ensure that the staircase to the sun deck is comfortable, yet not too big.Troy benefits from a generously proportioned aft deck with a jacuzzi and direct access to the owner’s stateroom, and has steps leading down to a cosy sheltered lower aft deck.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155110/image/large-8cdfb6a7c8bded0f1688516bca65a1a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155110">With exterior styling and interior design by Tim Saunders working in conjunction with Esenyacht’s own design team, Troy will have accommodation for 12 guests and nine crew members. The spaces below decks will feature long flowing lines that reflect her role as a performance sailing yacht designed for competitive regatta racing as well as luxury cruising.The yacht's interior will feature materials such as marble from Esenyacht’s own quarry in central Anatolia and fine leathers sourced from suppliers to some of the top Italian luxury brands.Esenyacht have also entered into an agreement with the renowned Italian artist Lucio Bubacco to supply a truly magnificent glass sculpture that shall find a suitable and worthy home in the main salon of Troy.By Maarten Janssen

Esenyacht's Troy getting close to completion

Esenyacht is currently making their debut appearance at the Qatar International Boat Show this year, which begun yesterday. The Turkish shipyard will reveal further details of a new 50 metre composite motor yacht which was announced last September.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151546/image/large-70e4006757dd756ade1314c438b1d0af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151302">The new superyacht is focused on entertaining family, friends and business associates.The superyacht is designed by Mannerfelt Design Team in collaboration with Esenyacht, and emphasises large, flexible interior spaces that can be adapted both for large scale entertaining and adapted for more private gatherings. She accommodates up to 10 guests in several luxurious rooms including a spacious owner’s suite forward on the middle deck. This area looks out over a partially enclosed, exclusive 25 sqm foredeck. She also accommodates up to 12 crew in total.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151547/image/large-fd3c72ff2754cd311a7d35f1e8ff84f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151303">Elsewhere inside, the commodious main saloon is located on the middle deck, and features large windows for an abundance of natural light as well providing spectacular views to guests inside. The large area is idea for exclusive dinner parties, but can also be adapted to be transformed into a nightclub. At the rear it opens out onto an expansive rear deck with additional seating.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151548/image/large-c851ad72eae52b1b0636abb51707855a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151304">With its lightweight construction and ultra-efficient hull form this is a yacht ideal both for high speed trips at speeds of 30 knots or more, and worldwide cruising.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151549/image/large-d252e8ad9f938ae2dcc1cfd0458bf410.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151305">Whilst in Qatar, Esenyacht will display renderings for the first time. Though the interiors will be fully customisable, the shipyard will also be sharing ideas for the interior décor. General Manager of Esenyacht, Deniz Can, comments, “We are delighted to be attending the Qatar International Boat Show for the first time. The Gulf is an important region for us, and with a flight time of around just 5 hours between Doha and Bodrum, Esenyacht is conveniently located for owners looking for a modern and sophisticated superyacht yard for both new builds and refits.”Deniz Can and his team are available throughout the show for meetings and interviews, and further information.By Merijn de Waard

Top 10 new superyachts at the Cannes Yacht Festival

The Turkish shipyard Esenyacht has appointed Mannerfelt Design Team (MDT) to develop a 50 metre composite motoryacht, marking the first motor yacht to be built by the company. Since the yard opened in 2011, they have launched the 36 metre sailing ketch, Glorious, with the 47 metre sloop, Troy, scheduled for launch in early 2015. Design features will include an efficient hull form, advanced propulsion and a lightweight interior. “This is the logical next step for Esenyacht ”, comments General Manager Deniz Can. “We developed our first-class composite facility in recognition of the fact that lightweight, low emission yachts are the future of luxury yachting. At Esenyacht our goal is to build such yachts that also combine modern, contemporary styling with bespoke craftsmanship.”Ted Mannerfelt of MDT added: “We are very excited about this cooperation. The design will be characterised by large windows and big, open spaces. The exterior styling will reflect advanced technology with a sleek, low, efficient profile inspired by my time as a car designer for Jaguar cars."“The use of carbon fibre as the main material will result in a light, strong and extremely fuel-efficient yacht,” said Ocke Mannerfelt of MDT. “This combination of light, carbon-based build technology and environmentally conscious thinking is the way forward for yachting.”By Merijn de Waard

Esenyacht to develop 50m superyacht with Mannerfelt Design Team

Esenyacht has officially opened what is now one of Turkey’s leading facilities for the production of composite components and structures for yachts of all types. While there are a number of yards in the country with composite capabilities Esenyacht now has not only the most modern at its headquarters in Bodrum, but it is also the only yard conveniently positioned on the south western approaches with a composite facility certified to international standards.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147812/image/large-8fbd815577a610a7ac0c20ada00dc2fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147812">The full range of services is available for both refits and new build projects, starting with engineering and design and running right through to the construction of moulds where necessary and actual production. Led by Composite Department Manager Nicholas Beadle together with Emrah Ipek and Senior Engineer Onur Yildirim, the team works closely with suppliers and consultants to ensure best practise and exchange ideas on new processes and technology.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147813/image/large-82f1910a7096894d32e1e3def144fe8e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147813">Capable of the full range of production techniques including vacuum infusion and pre‐preg, the facility has been fitted out with all the necessary tooling including a 4‐axis CNC milling machine, calibration equipment, Airtech vacuum systems and two ovens; one fixed and the other portable. The fixed oven measures 21‐metres by 5‐metres and is rated up to 120°C. The full range of structures and components can be produced, from hatches and tenders to booms, masts and superstructures. Current projects include the deck hatches for the 50‐metre performance sailing sloop Troy together with the 63‐metre rig, boom and 20‐metre superstructure for the same yacht. Upcoming projects include a high‐spec racing boat, components for a large sailing vessel and a 15‐metre high‐speed power boat for a data testing programme.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147814/image/large-3d5c0fee970b41ef92ad73e1e03d5620.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147814">One of the original consultants to the project has also contracted to use the facilities for testing an advanced new hull technology over the next 12 months ‐ an excellent testimonial to their quality.“This advanced composite capability is a valuable addition to Esenyacht and reinforces our strong position as a leading, full service new‐build and refit yard in the Eastern Mediterranean,” said General Manager Deniz Can. “While we are only in our third year of operation our extensive investment programme and ability to recruit a talented and experienced workforce allows us to offer our clients a modern yard using the latest equipment and processes.”Esenyacht Deniz Can +90 (0) 2523 166 611 <a href="mailto:denizcan@esenyacht.com">denizcan@esenyacht.com</a> <a href="http://www.esenyacht.net">www.esenyacht.net</a>

Esenyacht opens new composite facility

Esenyacht, the Bodrum-based builder of specialist custom superyachts, has released new images of the 50-metre super-sailing yacht Troy, currently in build at the yard for completion in late 2014.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146388/image/large-8e36ce12387ef8c27910b41a9ff0d5bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146388"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146389/image/large-ca4b9de2871b2bb11f90872184378bfa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146389"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146390/image/large-3cb3f1bee1b35a6a52f770108c05ab68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146390">With exterior styling and interior design by Tim Saunders working in conjunction with Esenyacht’s own design team, Troy will have accommodation for 12 guests and nine crew members. The spaces below decks will feature long flowing lines that reflect her role as a performance sailing yacht designed for competitive regatta racing as well as luxury cruising.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146391/image/large-3f77dfc33b163b20511cddaf4c465798.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146391">Materials used will include marble from Esenyacht’s own quarry in central Anatolia and fine leathers sourced from suppliers to some of the top Italian luxury brands. This is in keeping with the Esenyacht ethos of uncompromising attention to detail and, as with the marble, the use of its own expertise and resources wherever possible.Special attention has also been paid to the design and layout of the galley, which will include technology not previously used in the yachting sector. More information on this will be released in the coming months. Work meanwhile is now focused on the initial fitting out of the steel hull, with the composite superstructure due to go on in early 2014.Troy follows on from Esenyacht’s inaugural project Glorious, a spacious 36m sailing yacht launched in 2011 that is currently chartering in the Mediterranean. Also available for sale, she was the first iteration of the Esenyacht philosophy that sets out to combine northern European quality with a commitment to building yachts that are genuinely handcrafted down to the finest details. This represents a deliberate departure from the standard superyacht model of complex supply chains and assembly-orientated production techniques.“We prefer the sense of personalisation that comes with our approach to building one-off yachts,” says General Manager Deniz Can. “The consistency that comes with high quality craftsmanship from one’s own workshops never goes out of fashion.”Esenyacht +90 252 316 66 11 <a href="mailto:info@esenyacht.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@esenyacht.com</a> <a href="http://www.esenyacht.com" target="_blank">www.esenyacht.com</a>Tim Saunders Yacht Design +90 (0)532 722 65 03 +44 (0)787 675 24 17 <a href="mailto:tim@tsyd.com?subject=Tim%20Saunders%20Yacht%20Design%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">tim@tsyd.com</a> <a href="http://www.tsyd.com" target="_blank">www.tsyd.com</a>
