The 24.5-metre flagship yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mazu Yachts 82/0124.5m (80'5&quot;)Mazu Yachts2020">Mazu 82</a> has been delivered to her owner as the yard’s longest yacht to date. The carbon composite yacht is a custom design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5260" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tanju Özelgin (Company)">Tanju Özelgin</a>, who incorporated many unique design features as per the owner’s request.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168956/image/large-9f5cf193ab75023297f826dddc605e47.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168956"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168912/image/large-372153d6f6c26319ccbf625aa223cd0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168912"> 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.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168981/image/large-808b71ded177d074829d05eb5c155aba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168981"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169060/image/large-17fb73969895091fce64b76bfedf0a14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169060"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168997/image/large-a6215ec3c7a1e1c3692ee29f71f82ee2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168997">The new owner will spend the majority of his time on board and is planning to use the yacht as an isolated office during the coronavirus pandemic. Once on board, the owner will be able to enjoy the flush main deck and the all-glass deckhouse with “bulletproof” tempered glass. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169032/image/large-19827b3cdbb0b37046c72a7ee8da8e44.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169032"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169012/image/large-c01ecfd650a5b32db279bab64b8c1890.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169012">The deep-V hull has a deadrise of 19 degrees in the stern and 28 degrees in the bow and when under the power of her three Volvo Penta IPS units (1,000 hp each), can reach a top speed of 40 knots at full load and a cruising speed of 33 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169031/image/large-27ae80c95d27141470c793f83b920d8a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169031"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169038/image/large-88f2582bbeac19aa954437c9b715712b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169038">“The hull lines of the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mazu Yachts 82/0124.5m (80'5&quot;)Mazu Yachts2020">Mazu 82</a> were designed in-house to provide a perfect balance between top speed, seakeeping capability and fuel efficiency,” says Halit Yukay, lead designer and CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5260" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tanju Özelgin (Company)">Mazu Yachts</a>. “At cruising speed the yacht burns around 600 litres of fuel per hour for a range of just under 400 nautical miles or around 12 hours cruising.”

Both should create a coherent unity and reflect the main mood and feelings the designer intended.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/115156/image/large-0dc49c320e67567e5a8e8267551e78c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/115156"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/115157/image/large-74dac420d6d18ae8abdd91c675459106.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/115157">Inside, a custom lighting system helps to illuminate features such as the walnut and leather furniture, the metallic finishes and teak panelling wall decoration and the bronzed tempered glass doors. Guests can also enjoy the yacht’s state-of-the-art audio system and rich materials used throughout the interior, including the soft-leather-like wet surfaces and designer bathroom hardware. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/77891/image/large-b5cce9b24b9e6dbac85f2b0637b8db14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77891"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/77890/image/large-ba4e6640f428b72b53bca3f94c288a2b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77890">“The main challenge with yacht interiors is that the space mostly never stands still and is constantly surrounded by water," says the Turkish designer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5260" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tanju Özelgin (Company)">Tanju Özelgin</a>. “This aspect will direct your decisions regarding which materials to use, the weight and scale of every piece of furniture, and whether or not the furniture is anchored to the decks or built-in,” he adds. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/77889/image/large-538f531d080faa28ffd81676bcaa2094.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77889">“The space has to be as compact and light as possible without losing the illusion of feeling at home or in a cosy hotel. This was one of our key aspects during the design phase of the yacht: to create a space that feels more as if you were in your own house with all the familiarity and comfort that comes with it,”&nbsp;describes Özelgin.Powered by three Volvo Penta IPS 1350 at 1000 hp each, hull one of the Mazu 82 range can reach a top speed of 40 knots, or cruise at 35 knots.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/77888/image/large-06cbcfc494b91752f2bcc7aa692e4227.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77888"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/77886/image/large-708312b3ca1f94e941beb12da4fb85da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77886"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/77887/image/large-f65e0c662af6f690ddafb2cbba28b0b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77887">
