In 2010, Turkish based CMB Yachts delivered the alluringly designed Mystic. At 46 metres LOA, she is the largest European/Turkish superyacht built completely from composite and, with Dutch exterior design courtesy of Diana Yacht Design, interiors from German Schnaase Interior Design and engineering from UK-based High Modulus, she also truly is an international project, excitingly promising to combine the best of several worlds. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137548/image/large-8c2b514ac26a70045b4645e3aa47f0b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137548"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137549/image/large-e4acdf1b0f3a2be192602249691b2152.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137549"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137550/image/large-246bf5c8054315d17ad6d2471994fc7c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137550">Upon boarding, guests are immersed into a pleasant sense of minimalistic style, with contemporary furnishing that is modern while still showing enough curve to hint at a classical touch in design as well. Without abundance in detailing, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2426">Mystic</a>’s main aft deck focuses on enjoying the outside space in style, not merely emphasising the vessel herself but also involving the surroundings. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137551/image/large-27d0649fa204308a117972781c596dfa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137551">Entering the main saloon area, a welcoming atmosphere has been created where modern warmth enriched with stylish oriental elements have resulted in a spacious sense of elegant coziness.

Centered around a large, dark lacquered-wood dining table, this room can be easily transformed from intimate to formal. Either way, this space remains an ideal setting for guests to enjoy ample pleasurable breakfasts, lunches and dinners. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137553/image/large-f8d775bf4050db770bcc31846db56373.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137553">Passing through the main deck lobby and corridor, adjacent to the pantry and galley areas, the fully equipped gym area can be found, ensuring each guest’s physical wellbeing during their pleasurable stay on board. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137554/image/large-45c08d2d72ee31f24d8b088dd6952fc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137554">The galley is a picture perfect application of Mystic’s style, where minimalistic lines, smoothly rounded edges and a beautiful contrast of dark lacquered wooden lower cabinets and clean white countertops and top cabinets form the elegant basis for the preparation of plenty on board meals and refreshments. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137555/image/large-f7f822793e0952fd8d2cf091549b3d7c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137555">Opposite of the galley, the golden walls and starry ceilings of the cinema room invite guests to come in and relax, undoubtedly assuring plenty of perfectly comfortable movie nights. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137556/image/large-9a89d99cde53024d68cfcb16633b13d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137556"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137557/image/large-2d9264978d91b993686da7a56f9ea77b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137557">Contemporary elegance and warm intimacy can be experienced throughout the yacht. Offering room for a company of up to ten guests, a total of five guest cabins can be found throughout Mystic’s deck. On the lower deck, four guest cabins are located, in a configuration of two doubles and two twins. Every guest cabin offers space and comfort in Mystic’s signature elegant style, framed by subtle oriental elements in the appearance of bed linen patterns, elegant framing of walls and windows and the overall application of dark lacquered woods and upholstered leather throughout the bedrooms as some of the main design elements. Continued in the cabins’ warm style, the en suite bathrooms of each guest cabin offer comfort and luxury with spacious showers, bidets and wash basins, with large windows assuring the flow of ample amounts of natural light. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137558/image/large-586fe3d68bee32b35d2dbd98e053b507.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137558">The central part of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2426">Mystic</a>’s bridge deck has been reserved for the grand Master suite, with a luxuriously spacious full beam bedroom and his and hers walk-in dressing rooms, study and reading room and lush bathroom boasting a bath, separate shower, and his and hers wash basins. With classy gold accents encompassed into the design, this area is an elegant and soothing space supplied with space, luxury and natural light in every room. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137559/image/large-9443877513e5e09145936c905329c50c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137559">The bedroom gives direct access to the large upper aft deck area, where large lounging furniture supply an ideal setting for cocktails, after dinner coffee or simply some relaxing. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137560/image/large-a25c5cd20e736479f4facd552f4e7ece.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137560">Mystic’s sun deck is as spacious and elegant as each room on board, with a fully equipped bar, lounging area, Jacuzzi and elegantly designed fixed sun loungers to meet one’s every need.

To achieve this, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Wind (Company)">Southern Wind</a> adopted a low-slung &nbsp;carbon composite coachroof to create a sporty aesthetic and minimalist profile.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262327/image/large-b3c2d638dfdceff74a47832e6de2abe0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262327">“We’re very proud of the purity of the styling and form-meets-function detailing,” added Massimo Gino.

This is styled to look like a mini version of the coachroof, while the twin helm positions have been brought further forward for better visibility,” explained Massimo Gino.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262373/image/large-47e0cbd7297eb28236fb3090f2bb7c26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262373">When short-handed the three winches mounted on each side of the teak combings serve as convenient benches with easy reach to the helm positions.

What gulets are to Turkey and Croatia, dhows are to the United Arab Emirates. Wrought with tradition with builds dating back aeons – the dhows are an integral part of UAE culture and heritage and are still widely used today. This tradition has spurred on a strange phenomenon: wooden dhow-inspired superyachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262478/image/large-608b9781f319d0cefba1295d8e9e0f70.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262478">The first dhows that danced across the Red Sea and Indian Ocean were much thinner than they are today. Over the years they’ve stretched and expanded to offer more volume and more stability, but originally they were incredibly slender, packed with goods, darting from port to port.Fisherman and pearl divers had different requirements and needed space to carry their equipment and daily catches. Importantly, they also needed space for more people. These beamier boats are a common sight across the UAE and many are so engorged, swallowing entire restaurants to offer fine dining experiences for hundreds of guests at any given cruise.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262477/image/large-c292da7f2fb1c4adcbbbe9af10bd0569.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262477">The wooden superyachts infuse the two traditions. “The DNA of these superyachts relate just as much to the original dhows as they do to the wide beam and voluminous modern ones,” Mahmoud Itani of IR Yachts told SuperYacht Times. “In this region, onboard space is really important as people want to go out with large groups of friends; usage is very different to Europe.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263196/image/large-96a02755f154b9edeb1b5b06b318e78d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263196">"These yachts are hard to trace as they’re custom-built for individual clients and rarely go on the market – or to any shows, for that matter. “I’ve been attending and organising the Dubai International Boat Show for more than 10 years now, and I can’t remember ever seeing a single superyacht on display that was built out of wood,” Itani reflected.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262487/image/large-807cf5d601fc605e401b8d6626a29e8a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262487"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262484/image/large-ab44a56f02225eb532c9637ba2f5eaf7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262484"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262485/image/large-675093ccd1a8dc465dee62fd80015b59.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262485">It makes sense too, as these yachts are rarely – if ever – put up for charter, kept in private use away from the public eye. Boat Shows aren’t relevant for the shipyard’s marketing purposes either, as these wooden dhow-inspired superyachts are invariably single units and quite often the only one built and delivered by that particular shipyard.“There are a few boat builders in the UAE that would build one of these yachts, but the design rarely comes from their in-house team. After meeting their own design team, the client will then approach a shipyard in either Al Jadaf or, more recently, Dubai maritime city,” Itani explained. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262497/image/large-ea48a1afc0b6a7773c138f1d503e36bb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262497"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262494/image/large-c54ef33378f581c876b5bc98b37142df.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262494">We believe there could be as many as 10 in and around the region, the largest of which is on the market listed with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bush & Noble (Company)">Bush &amp; Noble</a>. The unnamed 50-metre Full Custom wooden superyacht was delivered in 2020 and undertook a maintenance appointment last year, which included a complete repaint with a high gloss clear coat. She has a price tag just shy of $10,000,000. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262495/image/large-cd1ea84bdb62b5b43d893603b165ecb0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262495"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262489/image/large-5b4877b6688fbd54f48378f2720c19d3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262489"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262488/image/large-a0442a0dcfd95fee7c06e74c1b204bc5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262488">Unlike the other wooden dhow-inspired superyachts, this 50-metre has a unique construction that utilises fibre and teak planks. She’s constructed with a teak hull and GRP superstructure, which has then been clad with teak for that traditional look and feel. Henderson Marine International designed and engineered her.With a beam of 10.56, she’s a metre and a half wider than the average 50-metre motor yacht built after 2018. And once onboard it’s the first thing you notice. She’s cavernous and has been styled with the more familiar trappings, all sourced from Italy at “no expense spared,” as central agent <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bush & Noble (Company)">Bush &amp; Noble</a> explain. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262479/image/large-3b074acd794dfdc3701713a1994606a3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262479">The main saloon is home to many seating areas for socialising, a breakfast bar, two screening areas and a formal dining area. She has six staterooms and can comfortably accommodate as many as 12 guests. She can also host five crew in five cabins.When asked about the buying profile for this superyacht, Bret Noble of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bush & Noble (Company)">Bush &amp; Noble</a> anticipates the most attention from Qatar. "There are many well-built traditional dhows in the region," Noble explained. "Qatar is really the number one region for these boats. But they're also not an uncommon sight in and around the UAE. The 50-metre Full Custom superyacht is unique though and interesting for the Australasian market."&nbsp;The second largest known wooden superyacht is the 47.55-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4428" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tiger47.55m (156'0&quot;)Unknown2009">Tiger</a>, delivered in 2009 and currently berthed in Abu Dhabi.
