The 24.5-metre flagship yacht Mazu 82 has been delivered to her owner as the yard’s longest yacht to date. The carbon composite yacht is a custom design by Tanju Özelgin, who incorporated many unique design features as per the owner’s request.

The aft deck design was modified to include terraced steps leading down to the swim platform. These steps also function as an additional seating option for guests. “Multifunctional design was very important for the owner,” says Yukay. “In fact, the open foredeck has three different uses: as a sunbathing area, a dining area for 12 people, and a screen can be set up to turn it into an open-air cinema.”
