Istanbul is famed for its &nbsp;cultural heritage as it cradles both the eastern and western hemispheres. It's diverse, aromatic and thriving. The city is rich in history as the meandering streets and lively bazaars are just one counterpart of the charisma and charm of Istanbul. Another lesser-known facet of the city is its strong ecosystem for shipbuilding and repairs. Istanbul is the only city in the world to span two continents – and the local shipyards and yacht maintenance facilities certainly tap into this. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/84057/image/large-fbd7aa03d40a98988b957ac5ae36625f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84057"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5160" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="West Istanbul Marina (Company)">West Istanbul Marina</a> is one such facility that embodies the local spirit of diversity, as not only can it berth 600 yachts up to 90 metres in length, catering to all needs of crew, guests and captains with impressive facilities and numerous bars and restaurants, but it also has a large shipyard that maintains and refits around 35 projects a year.&nbsp;We caught up with Aleksandra Podlipna, Technical and Marketing Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5160" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="West Istanbul Marina (Company)">West Istanbul Marina</a> to hear all about the site as well as the recent and current projects being worked on at the shipyard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218341/image/large-4ed08522975763d006cdddd090b9d466.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218341">“Our complex is huge,” Aleksandra explained. “We are a shipyard and marina that provides the full service for yachts up to 90 metres in length.

New Dutch yacht brand Seaver launches three debut models

 Dutch yacht brand Seaver has officially debuted at its inaugural Seaver Gallery event with a new yacht range and its unique ownership model.


The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Marine Equipment Trade Show (Metstrade)</a> has announced that visitor registration is now open for its 2026 edition. The global leisure marine trade show is set to return to RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398841/image/large-7b3a6d14c1ce5a3907a17dc1e2aa9788.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398841">The exhibition will feature more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 halls, showcasing the latest products, technologies and services spanning propulsion systems, sustainable materials, smart connectivity and onboard electronics.This year's event introduces a redesigned floorplan, including an expanded Superyacht Zone, a relocated Marina &amp; Yard Zone and a larger Construction Materials Zone, aimed at improving navigation and creating more opportunities for business networking.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398840/image/large-85a401cecafef1b1f792d36d32c66c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398840">RAI Marine Technology Director Niels Klarenbeek commented: “The 2026 floorplan isn’t just bigger, it’s structured differently to improve visitor experience. By regrouping the Superyacht, Marina &amp; Yard and Construction Materials zones, we’re cutting the distance between visitors and the conversations that matter most to them so they can spend more time in front of new products, new exhibitors and the connections that drive business.”The 2026 content programme will also place greater emphasis on longer-format discussions, with 45-minute sessions followed by dedicated networking opportunities. Highlights include talks on nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the impact of artificial intelligence on marine marketing.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398843/image/large-6dc1f9f52e49eb7c733aae6fb9f13505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398843">Alongside the exhibition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Metstrade</a> week will once again host industry events including The Superyacht Forum, which takes place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.Registration is free until 1 November 2026, after which an online fee of €90 (excluding VAT) will apply.

The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould. The method allows tighter tolerances, reduced fairing, and improved overall performance. The use of prepreg carbon further enhances weight reduction and structural efficiency. The first hull will feature a 6.5-metre beam and a displacement of 29 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399042/image/large-2c88150ed3813ffab581ec62879f0207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399041/image/large-0e4d08534bd2b91e9b226151299b8084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399041">Owners of the Café Racer 80 series will be able to select from a palette of bold hull colours, including red, yellow, deep grey, and turquoise. Lamination is scheduled to commence in August, following the Finnish summer break, with delivery expected in summer 2027. Male plug construction is currently underway as part of preparation for the female carbon tooling.
