Begüm Yachting: Setting the standard for luxury yachting experiences along the Turkish coast

France-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7647" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="PH Design (Company)">PH Design</a> has revealed the inner workings of a forward thinking design: the 38-metre explorer yacht Orion XPLR 38, which strives to serve as an ideal vessel for “the adventurer in a tuxedo” to take on wild seas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308422/image/large-d3061d0f489584b2aee08b593f226be4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308422">Robust and muscular, Orion XPLR 38’s exterior profile boasts forward-facing lines, clear-cut “shoulders” that shield the contrastingly open, exposed deck spaces found on her stern, and is designed to perform regardless of weather conditions and changing seasons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308423/image/large-e3a5ef70c5bca874bbb234a0c9783adc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308423"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308424/image/large-d1b02c4bba899c11897a2c563c1922e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308424">With the notion of “duality” being the main inspiration for her exterior silhouette, a “dual aspect is shown by two-toned paint—bronze for the comfort and black for the technical areas, where the toys are displayed on the upper deck,” commented designer Pierre-Hugues Vallin.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308415/image/large-32b43f9f6e9b6d39b0b8960efb16e00c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308415">Inside the fiercely athletic exterior, the yacht, which has a volume of around 380 GT and a beam of up to 8.6-metres, is capable of accommodating as many as 12 guests across a six stateroom configuration, as well as nine crew members.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308432/image/large-97bd93d0e92adff17af936b3fe993ec1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308432">Besides boasting a sumptuous full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck, complete with a private terrace, Orion XPLR 38 also features a full-beam VIP stateroom on the lower deck with an adjacent private saloon for a personal touch.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308428/image/large-7ec0d1e008fcf0756eb0465613898214.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308428">Upon entering the yacht, guests are greeted by an opulent exterior lounge area, where expansive sunpads and two plush sofas, paired with a bar, comprise a friendly social hub flanked by far-reaching views of the stern.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308429/image/large-63709a3cf120196bb9ead192519f7272.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308429">With sliding glass doors seamlessly marrying indoor and outdoor living spaces, the same relaxing, convivial atmosphere continues into the interior main saloon, in which a cushy white seating arrangement and marine-themed art installations create a nautical undertone, reminding those onboard that the sea is never far. Moreover, this well-lit saloon includes openings with expansive views that reinforce guests’ connection to the soothing nearby seascape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308433/image/large-1ed422268587da31503d52b8923d7b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308433"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308431/image/large-0d8b63f847c40c08c2bbe90ed6bba370.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308431">Another standout feature found onboard Orion XPLR 38 yacht &nbsp;is her alluring sky lounge stocked with state-of-the-art technology for piloting sky or water-based drones, making fond memories with friends and family, or unwinding after an action-packed day. Depending on the owner’s customisation, a cosy Jacuzzi may also be added to this space for optimal luxury.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308410/image/large-d033184e4c63f40e4858f6d36e5d9d64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308410"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308418/image/large-2ac4b503956ebafa0dbad2b3aef9ab9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308418">Meanwhile, on the yacht’s sundeck, activities ranging from relaxation, festivities, or formal events can be had, thanks to the flexible bar and exterior kitchen space for guests to take in views with a cocktail or alfresco dining cuisine in hand. A lavish pool located forward, which is flanked by sofas for topping up on one’s tan, also allows for blissful, uninterrupted views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308427/image/large-432eaedca74b823471f082dcae1d46aa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308427"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308412/image/large-387afacd34113c26be70fa1bc35fa45b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308412">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7647" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="PH Design (Company)">PH Design</a>, environmental consciousness was also a priority in the process of designing Orion XPLR 38. That is why the yacht, which features a full displacement hull composed of steel and an aluminium superstructure, contains a large solar panel on the sun deck that can charge batteries while in a harbour.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308426/image/large-9bb17586399eae9df262b34c1692629e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308426">Additionally, the hybrid vessel can cruise full electric for several nautical miles at a time, surviving solely on batteries for up to a few days while anchored, and is also constructed with Bio-based materials and natural fibres such as wood and bamboo panels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308420/image/large-8beb30519976e5da2f96f1549ea6759b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308420">Furthermore, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7647" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="PH Design (Company)">PH Design</a> aims to elevate guests’ experience by ensuring minimal noise, air pollution with the engines off, while achieving a more sustainable approach to yachting in the process. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308414/image/large-aff09f5f26bbec1aae7facff68f23061.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308414">

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">

For Michael Said, it was an easy decision to invest in a restructured S<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">ilent Yachts</a>, and many of our other owners are just as keen.
