(Company)">Tankoa’s</a> superyacht DNA. From her minimalistic yet sculptural exterior profile to her serene, custom-designed interiors and high-volume layout, this is a project that embraces restraint without ever feeling limited. At the heart of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go’s</a> design is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cassetta Yacht Designers (Company)">Cassetta Yacht Designers</a>, the Italian studio whose long-standing partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa Yachts</a> has shaped some of the shipyard’s most celebrated superyachts. With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a>, they have turned their attention to a more compact scale, yet without sacrificing the hallmarks of the brand: harmony, sophistication and a commitment to timeless design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361749/image/large-05b55c44341a280f62d91536c44d445e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361749">“She’s a statement,” explained designer Giorgio Cassetta as we walked through the yacht’s airy interiors and precisely tailored decks. “This is what happens when you remove trends and fashion from the equation and start instead with the question: what should a yacht be? Designing at this scale is all about precision and clarity, you need to make every line count, every material needs to work harder, not only aesthetically, but functionally too.”The result is an ambitious 454 GT platform that packs immense volume and design sophistication into a sub-50-metre length. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go’s</a> American owner pushed the limits of the original brief, increasing the yacht’s gross tonnage from 430GT and working closely with the shipyard and design team to customise every inch.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361747/image/large-76568f530c496a1ccf442b64abba2576.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361747">“The layout was perfected to the owner’s needs and wishes and is more than ever coherent and connected to the exterior design and outfitting,” Cassetta explained. “The result is a minimalistic yet striking interior that will certainly turn heads with its understated elegance.”Onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a>, that coherence is immediately felt. Step into the main saloon and you are surrounded by light. Floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides creates 270-degree views of the surrounding seascape. The space has been conceived as a calm retreat, with muted materials and clean lines, a space where, as Cassetta puts it, “nothing is excessive, yet nothing is missing.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361753/image/large-e04806b0a3cf4342ec90e5c8f8fd97b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361753">Forward on the main deck, the full-beam owner’s suite is a continuation of this philosophy. A vast and private apartment, it has been designed as a sanctuary rather than a statement, with warm tones and a calm palette offering a clear counterpoint to the often hyper-decorated world of large yacht interiors. “You don’t need chandeliers to make a space feel luxurious,” Cassetta said. “True luxury is about proportion, light and the way a space makes you feel.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361744/image/large-ae9e9933eba68ad6e91997005fba7576.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361744"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361727/image/large-19c9919eb3b2bcefd3f67179597f50a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361727">The same thinking applies to the five guest staterooms located on the lower deck, all of which are ensuite and finished to the same high standard. They offer ample space and equal comfort across the board, creating a private retreat for each guest. The consistency of quality throughout <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> is notable; there’s no hierarchy of design, only a continuity of thought. “For our firm, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> represented an extraordinary concentration of design challenges,” explains Giorgio Cassetta. “Regarding the exterior style and layout, it was necessary for the project to effectively express <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa's</a> very specific identity, especially considering that the T450 line is intended to be produced in multiple units, customizable by individual clients. The interior design, on the other hand, is strongly oriented towards the owner's taste, who gave us complete freedom in every decision, including decoration and the selection of soft goods. After verifying from our very first proposals that the design concept we had in mind was perfectly aligned with his desires, he entrusted us with this task with total confidence. This approach burdened us with a great sense of responsibility, but also rewarded us with immense satisfaction once we reached the final result.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361725/image/large-48a78596fdbecd5a26ae4bca142401db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361725">Functionality is a central pillar of the T450 platform. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa’s</a> team, led by Sales &amp; Business Development Manager Claudio Corvino, worked closely with the owner to refine every technical detail. “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> is an incredibly flexible platform on which we can create semi-custom yachts, offering big volumes without compromising on the sleek and elegant lines,” Corvino said. “This first unit is a statement of what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a> can offer even at this size.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361752/image/large-4f087d67287dd0bd3e022ac89c3a4ab2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361752">Leticia Claudia Perez, Lead Interior designer on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a>, adds, "<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> precisely expresses my approach to interior design. I believe in a stylistic and design approach aimed at seeking simplicity and refinement in every detail, while paying special attention to achieving a balance between style and the needs and desires of the owners. I am extremely satisfied because <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> is the perfect synthesis of what I love to express in my projects." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361722/image/large-712730d11c762e6ad84177ead08fff1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361722">A prime example of this is the fully walk-around upper deck. This level, which includes a forward-facing fire pit lounge and a dedicated gym aft, is a triumph of ergonomic design. The gym, enclosed in glass gives the impression of a floating fitness suite suspended above the sea. It’s a space designed to be used, not simply admired, with enough headroom and openness to make it inviting even in less-than-perfect weather. Up top, the sundeck features a hydromassage tub, shaded dining area and sun loungers that surround a clean, open expanse. It's another example of the balance between sociability and serenity that runs through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a>. There is no wasted space onboard, only spaces designed to serve a purpose and to do so beautifully.&nbsp;Down at water level, the beach club is a standout feature. Here, folding side platforms expand the deck to wrap around the transom, while a sliding sunpad can conceal the pool during passage. The transition between lounging and bathing is seamless, with careful attention paid to safety, ease of movement and access to the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/361715/image/large-06a56e6bab4b0a684df98b8cf3423f3f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/361715">“From the brightwork to the refined structural furniture, to the natural teak exterior ceilings, all details are crafted to an extremely high standard,” said Cassetta. “We wanted <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> to feel refined without being flashy. There’s strength in simplicity.”&nbsp;While the yacht’s profile retains the signature <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a> DNA, &nbsp;with taut, horizontal lines and vertical elements in the superstructure, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> introduces a few new notes. These include a slightly more angular aft deck silhouette and an increased focus on exterior-integrated storage. Large volumes have been carved out for tenders, toys and provisions, making <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> not just a coastal cruiser, but a capable long-range platform.In terms of performance, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go45.0m (147'8&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2024">Go</a> is equipped with twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines, providing her with a top speed of 17 knots, a comfortable cruising speed of 14 knots and a range of over 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots.&nbsp;This article was first published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 53 of the SuperYacht Times newspaper, available for download at this website.</a>

Her striking high bow, strong angular lines and almost military-influenced aesthetic convey a sense of strength and purpose. Finished in a clean, crisp white with dark window bands, she is unmistakably a yacht that’s been built to venture far beyond the confines of the Mediterranean.Her vertical windows wrap around the main and upper decks, visually elongating the superstructure, while ensuring panoramic views from within. Cutolo’s exterior styling is aggressive yet elegant, with a contemporary edge that feels every bit as refined as it is functional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340965/image/large-1d55295c3bcaa4419753ef7b5e5f6886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340965">There’s no doubt: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> is built for adventure. But she’s equally ready to welcome guests in comfort and style. Stepping aboard via the wide hydraulic swim platform, you enter a world of calm precision. Her aft deck immediately sets the tone, uncluttered, open and bathed in natural light. Teak underfoot and a sculptural staircase to starboard lead the eye up toward the upper decks, while her shaded aft seating area invites relaxed conversation or dining with a view.Sliding glass doors open into the main saloon – a space that feels both expansive and grounded. Soft neutral tones, clean lines and tactile materials like brushed oak and matte lacquered finishes create a modern, almost Nordic atmosphere. Nothing is ostentatious. Everything is intentional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340971/image/large-0080c75be12498628e4d0349fd8e99db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340971">The brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> was clear, to create a space that was “trendy, modern, comfortable and open to the landscape.” Natural light plays a central role in the experience and reflecting materials are placed strategically next to windows to amplify brightness. In contrast, the broader palette leans into understated luxury, with elegant matte finishes grounding the airy ambiance.Ceilings are kept light and subtly varied in finish, matte beside gloss, to add dimensionality. Doors and blind boxes feature rounded corners framed in brushed aluminium, reinforcing the yacht’s theme of softness meeting structure. While artwork from local artists is thoughtfully displayed in recessed, brushed-framed niches, adding authenticity and cultural richness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340976/image/large-c837d47bf792925e4eb1ea8061cd94d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340976">The saloon itself is arranged with versatility in mind. A comfortable seating area to port is perfectly positioned for enjoying both the scenery and the concealed television to starboard. The formal dining area forward, set beneath a custom-designed lighting panel, seats 10 with ease and benefits from exceptional natural light, thanks to her oversized windows.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357770/image/large-fcb2f886df01123250a9156ead78bf9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357770">Every surface and every fitting feels solid, considered and built to last, reinforcing the notion that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> has been designed not just to impress at anchor, but to function seamlessly during extended time at sea.

Entered via a private lobby, the suite features generous dimensions, a king-size bed is positioned centrally, while a walk-in wardrobe and office space can be found upon entry. Vertical panels in Nabuk leather are interspersed with LED accents, while her headboard is crafted from dove grey leather with 3D detailing that seamlessly cradles the bed and floating nightstands.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340983/image/large-1f9911b350afa0d976ba6e07d673f97e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340983">The ensuite bathroom is finished in light Calacatta Cremo marble surfaces with brushed stainless steel accents, featuring a large rainfall shower, twin sinks and excellent storage.

This is a room that can transform, a movie night venue, a social gathering space, a private reading lounge, or an informal meeting space, the configurations are endless!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340967/image/large-08db28e2587f69e48954a2ef4e8aa58e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340967">Aft, the upper deck terrace is made for relaxed outdoor dining. Sheltered by the overhang and ideal for sundowners or evening meals overlooking remote anchorages, thanks to a 10-person alfresco dining table. A cleverly concealed crane allows for the launch and retrieval of tenders, while seamlessly blending into the design of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340970/image/large-6e06eb5d82fd83e253dddd7c62db46a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340970">The foredeck, which is often overlooked on vessels of this size, is instead given full explorer functionality, with another seating area nestled just forward of the wheelhouse, offering guests a private spot to enjoy sweeping views underway or at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357765/image/large-0da787e33e5a43be7f7df53207f0efb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357765"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357766/image/large-2ee5ffd180507c0403bb6d1955a468d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357766">The topmost deck of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> offers a surprising amount of space for a 35-metre yacht.

In keeping with the traditional interiors of their commercial vessels, green is the dominant colour. Dark green leather upholstery is paired with black-painted oak panelling and Nabuk leather on the ceiling. This combination strikes a compelling balance between heritage and modern luxury and creates a commanding atmosphere for navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340966/image/large-a4b4ec48d605d4e1584f530cf5e1efec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340966"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340969/image/large-f90b9fcd8fe7596571f0abf9add43f80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340969">Every inch of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> has been carefully considered.

We take a look onboard the 35m explorer yacht Bee, which is built for adventure and currently for sale with Ocean Independence. 

Onboard Bee: The 35m explorer yacht for sale that’s built for adventure!

In early March <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> officially relaunched the 73-metre (240-foot) <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>, following a 12-month refit which entailed the redesign of the yacht’s exterior and interior and a major overhaul of its systems. The yacht's passionate owner entrusted the team from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli Internationa</a>l to reimagine her exterior aesthetic, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> worked closely alongside her owner and captain Paul Duncan to revitalise her interior. The team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arrow Monaco (Company)">Arrow Monaco</a>, led by Alec Heath represented the owner during the build and were instrumental in its successful completion.&nbsp;We are excited to share insights into the yacht's new design ahead of her industry unveiling at the upcoming <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/251" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MYBA Charter Show - 2025- 35th Edition">MYBA Charter Show</a> in San Remo next week, after which she is expected to take the charter season by storm. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357835/image/large-27967e447d32e3fd9f45b0aed01cbbd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357835"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>’s exterior aesthetic has been dramatically reimagined in a black-and-white colour scheme, with a white hull and black overhangs, a black mast and sundeck superstructure, and black window bands and brow accents that elongate the yacht’s lines and lighten the overall impression. Speaking of the owner’s ambition for the exterior, Kristian <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli</a> explains, “The owner’s brief was clear, he wanted to modernise the yacht, bringing her into a contemporary realm and most importantly giving her a sleeker look.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357834/image/large-9c9cf477a5f051fce94d102ad8d64f14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357834">From a general arrangement perspective there have been two significant changes. First, the extension of the yacht’s swim platform, which now acts as an additional exterior dining area, outdoor beach club, and watersports epicenter.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357840/image/large-26b334d6f8008a23b35ed84a0b81346b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357840">Additionally, the owner requested that the sundeck be transformed into a gym and spa deck, complete with an infra-red sauna, plunge pool, and dedicated massage space. This was accomplished through the creation of an enclosed and air-conditioned atrium which presented the unique design challenge of surrounding the space with floating glass panes that could be opened as desired. Taking this task on was the German engineering firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kreative Metallform (KMF) (Company)">Kreative Metallform</a> who designed a retractable system for the 360-degree floor-to-ceiling glass. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357843/image/large-811244606539abbf3e48e398332cc6d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357843">With a volume of 1,979 GT and a near 13-metre beam, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has an impressive platform and excellent pedigree. Captain Paul Duncan explains, “The idea was to maintain that integrity while updating her to current standards. That meant opening up many of the interior spaces, increasing light to the interior, replacing multiple layers of window dressings with invisible silhouette blinds, and physically extending key windows.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357833/image/large-8a784ddcb232ec5902aca9ff5ef093ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357833"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> commented, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> had excellent bones and a strong aesthetic foundation. We respected her traditional envelope, while incorporating clean, transitional furniture with traditional silhouettes but contemporary finishes. The original seating featured satin silks, white silk carpets, velvets and velours – very formal. We moved towards textured, streamlined materials that are more relaxed while still elegant.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357844/image/large-0d5f384062226f07bb55cbf878472e9f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357844">For instance the yacht’s original saloon was divided between the seating areas and bar. This has now been opened into one functional space with a central seating area, games table to port that doubles as a desk or breakfast table, and lounge chairs to starboard that are a perfect spot to sit if you’re just passing through or waiting to disembark. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357837/image/large-1378067134a067f30765d6eced583d63.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357837">Optionality was an integral part of the redesign, particularly to create unique zones that guests can enjoy, in replacement of the three previous formal saloons. For example, the bridge deck bar has been transformed into an English style pub, complete with a booth and felt-lined darts cupboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357841/image/large-548168155a21b44b9c3da0d40c377e8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357841">While these changes have been transformative for her interiors, the team has carefully honoured the yacht’s original DNA, particularly the fine <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti</a> wood paneling used throughout her interior. Paul Duncan adds, “We took a sensitive approach to modernisation – one that respected the yacht’s heritage without allowing it to feel dated. The original woodwork was particularly beautiful, and it would have been a disservice to erase it. Instead, we chose to complement it. By introducing warmer LED lighting and reducing visual clutter, the wood now sings rather than overwhelms. The result is a yacht that retains its warmth while offering dramatically improved brightness, visual access to all of the exterior spaces and the sea, and a vastly greater sense of openness.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357836/image/large-341acbc8f511427f78cf83d7a8e5bf92.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357836">Other such evolutions include the master suite with its attached, raised observation room which used to be an afterthought. This has been transformed into a private workout and observation area to enjoy the incredible panoramic views this forward-looking space offers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357842/image/large-5d6ed25365897826e8a32ec0778051c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357842"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357845/image/large-b6049aaef2848ce92c8188f254088985.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357845">The exterior decks have likewise been modernised with a new alfresco dining area introduced on the main deck aft, as well as on the newly-extended swim platform which can be transformed into a covered dining area right at the water’s edge. Both areas benefit from custom tables made for each space by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/333" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Finkeldei Upholstered Furniture (Company)">Finkeldei</a> Interiors. And for fun-lovers there is now a basketball hoop on the large pool deck where guests will find an outdoor pool that converts to a giant hot tub, as well as an outdoor cinema with a dedicated projector capable of daytime-viewing brightness levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357846/image/large-33c9c587875e479d839f35d0ce161826.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357846">The final result of this impressive refit is that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has been beautifully evolved for a new era of yacht charter clients, and she will no doubt make her presence felt at the charter show next week. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357831/image/large-12bf3b3b7b685be19bc8fd334fce8e4d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357831">

Turkish shipbuilding continues to command increasing global recognition for its artisanal craftsmanship, yet few shipyards have propelled the nation’s reputation forward with the same conviction as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin Yachts</a>.

This surge in activity mirrors Türkiye’s meteoric rise in global rankings, now second worldwide in superyacht production with 121 active projects. At the heart of this momentum is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin</a>, fast becoming one of the most prolific builders of 50-metre-plus yachts globally.The shipyard operates across five purpose-built facilities that span more than 79,450 square metres, including a dedicated marine furniture factory, metal works department, and a custom outfitting space in Antalya. The yard's facility in Yalova has the capacity to construct yachts up to 120-metres and reflects the company's future capability. At this time the 86-metre Bilgin 282 is under construction at the facility and features enhanced design elements, such as increased glazing on the forward bulwarks and significantly larger windows throughout, bringing more natural light into the interior spaces. At 2,200 GT, she is approximately 40% larger than the 80-metre series and represents a major step forward in both volume and design sophistication. The flagship superyacht is due for delivery in 2028 and is a testament to Bilgin's capacity to construct large scale superyacht projects.This infrastructure ensures full control over the build process and supports an in-house team of over 900 highly skilled craftsmen, alongside a trusted network of collaborators.

While studying Business Economics at Groningen University, I was part of the Dutch Olympic team in the Flying Dutchman class. To support my sailing, I began trading sailboats.After university, I joined Shell as an oil trader, living and working across Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Sailing became a weekend pursuit. Following the Gulf War – during which I spent five months as a ‘guest’ of Saddam Hussein while serving as GM of Shell Kuwait – I left Shell and took on a global marketing and sales role at Philips. However, the constant relocations began to wear thin. By forty, I realised my true passion lay in boats.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/333483/image/large-d34e2731df7d8e20bfd64885082905cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/333483">In 2001, I left the corporate world and launched Antaris, a yard specialising in fibreglass dayboats and cruisers. Focused on functionality through innovation, we became market leader in the Netherlands by 2008, producing 300 boats annually. After merging with Maril and Makma to form Aquatec Industries – which captured over 50% market share – I sold the company in search of a new challenge, and founded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>.The vision was bold: steel yachts that were twice as fast, twice as elegant, and fully custom-built. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> launched strongly in 2010, but the financial crisis soon hit, shrinking the steel yacht market by 60%. We pivoted, aiming to compete with leading producers of fast fibreglass yachts. In collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a>, we introduced the NG43 Offshore – our first aluminium planing motoryacht. This highly efficient, custom-built vessel won the 2016 European Powerboat of the Year award, making <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> the first Dutch yard to triumph in this competitive category.When you founded&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;in 2010, what gap in the market were you aiming to fill and how has that vision evolved?At the time, steel motoryachts had a poor reputation – slow, boxy, and standardised, often likened to “caravans on the water.” Buyers had little room for personalisation, which felt entirely at odds with the investment required.Steeler was created to change that. From the outset, our philosophy was simple: we don’t sell yachts – we build exactly what each client needs. Full customisation became our cornerstone. Working with designer Martin Bekebrede, we launched the NG series – a platform combining timeless design with exceptional space utilisation. No two builds are alike, and we’ve delivered 110 unique motoryachts to date.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289732/image/large-f411ceaa0c583f40202a4fd04ed2fab5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289732">We also challenged performance expectations. Instead of limiting clients to inland cruising speeds, we designed yachts capable of 10 to 15 knots – ideal for both rivers and coastal waters. As the market responded, recognition followed, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> receiving awards and nominations almost every year since 2011. In 2013, we collaborated with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> to develop our first aluminium planing yacht, the NG43 Offshore. Its exceptional efficiency and handling won the European Powerboat of the Year award in 2016 – the first Dutch yard to do so in the production-dominated category.Our move into aluminium planing yachts expanded the concept further. Aluminium offered strength, efficiency, and stability – a compelling alternative to mass-produced fibreglass yachts. Though more costly to build, the result was a better yacht.While our client-first approach mirrors that of Dutch superyacht builders, it’s rare in the 50 to 100-foot segment. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> now attracts owners seeking a more private, lower-maintenance alternative to larger yachts – without compromising on quality. Many describe us as a “barn find” in the market.With the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman Shipyard</a> and sixteen yachts currently in build – a record for us – we’re focused on growing global recognition for a boutique shipyard offering a superyacht experience on a smaller scale.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364028/image/large-0e792fcc12257b4de507d414c7f5749a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364028">What were some of the biggest challenges in scaling a brand that prioritises bespoke craftsmanship?The main challenges have been twofold. First, limited resources for global marketing have made it difficult to reach our niche audience – highly discerning clients who often don’t know about us until they “discover” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a>. Fortunately, once they do, our 99% customer loyalty since 2010 speaks volumes.Second, inflation presents risks during our typical two-year build cycle. This requires a foundation of trust and transparency with clients to navigate unexpected cost fluctuations together.What sets&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;apart in a highly competitive industry?In the 50 to 100-foot segment, our proposition is unique: full customisation, innovative design, personal service, and top-tier craftsmanship. While we lack economies of scale, this is precisely why our clients choose us – for our boutique approach and relentless focus on exceeding expectations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296260/image/large-4bbf4f4afa92522d93f1c06411993556.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296260">What led to the decision to acquire&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a>&nbsp;– and why now?A surge in orders for our Ocean Explorer, Enigma, Ace 59, Supersport, and S-lines created a capacity bottleneck at our yard in Steenwijk. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a>, just ten minutes away, had the space, skilled team, and shared values – many of their staff even had previous ties to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a>.Although the bankruptcy was traumatic for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a> team, the transition was smooth. Production in Meppel, the Netherlands has resumed at full strength, with both teams now working seamlessly together. Initially, there was natural rivalry – we had been competitors for years. But through open dialogue, shared vision, and simply working side-by-side, that tension quickly turned into mutual respect. Today, there’s a strong sense of collaboration and learning between both teams.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296259/image/large-753fbd78f9740bc1d8004334be3441b6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296259">What’s your vision for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;over the next five years?With added capacity, we aim to deliver at least ten yachts per year without compromising our boutique identity.
