Working closely with long-standing collaborators <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a>, the yard has evolved this platform into the Voyage family, a series of pre-engineered designs from 57 to 75 metres that combine proven technical foundations with fresh, contemporary styling.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/369938/image/large-9de03688ea5564cb2dd92c3f3e2dcd30.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/369938">The shipyard offers owners a variety of platforms from 57 metres to 80 metres and the concept is simple yet powerful: owners can choose the size and style that best suits their lifestyle while enjoying the reassurance of a mature engineering base. This approach blends the flexibility of custom design with the efficiency of pre-engineered solutions, allowing for creative freedom without compromising on build quality. “The same engineering foundations can support multiple concepts, giving owners a broader range of options within a proven technical framework,” explains Burak Akgül, Executive Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/368532/image/large-e8c67a1584d2a9790d62c930e01bc404.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/368532">A design language with family ties The Voyage family began with the 58-metre design, introduced at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023, which set the tone for the series with its distinctive bow shape, a combination of a plum profile and generous flare that delivers both striking aesthetics and increased usable space on the foredeck. Jonny Horsfield, Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a>, describes it as a “signature feature” that gives the family a clear visual identity while retaining practical benefits, such as the ability to accommodate a touch-and-go helipad without narrowing the deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/368530/image/large-96c96cd9e53ea63dd527d5ffc3d166ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/368530">Scaling up to the 75-metre platform allowed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a> to refine the concept further. The Voyage 75 features harmonious, horizontal lines, expansive glazing and a highly flexible aft arrangement. Owners can opt for a cantilevered pool with an open space beneath, creating a dramatic visual focal point, or a lowered pool integrated with a more open beach club. Throughout, the detailing reflects a modern, residential style, with loose, freestanding furniture on exterior decks for a more relaxed and adaptable onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/369937/image/large-55a226de224a8776f883b0ab33fb5220.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/369937">Horsfield emphasises that the design cohesion across the Voyage family is deliberate. “The idea was to create a recognisable <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a> look with consistency of detail, glazing and profile, so the yachts clearly belong together while offering different scales and configurations.” Platform flexibility, design freedom At the heart of the Voyage family is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>' in-house engineered platform, optimised for efficiency, stability and adaptability. This platform allows changes to the bow shape, transom and superstructure while retaining key engineering hardpoints, offering designers scope to deliver yachts as different in personality as the crisp, contemporary Voyage and the bold Barracuda concept, both on the same 75-metre base.Such versatility also extends to the onboard lifestyle. The 75-metre Voyage’s sun deck, for example, can be open-plan with clear sightlines fore and aft, or enclosed for greater privacy. Forward, a large Jacuzzi is surrounded by sun pads, with glass bulwarks ensuring uninterrupted sea views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/368531/image/large-a7095cc1d47d89df4602e4db57c00e51.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/368531">This adaptability is central to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>' current momentum. With market interest leaning toward larger builds, the yard is now constructing four yachts on its 80-metre platform, two of them advanced diesel-electric projects, with deliveries scheduled through to 2028. The Voyage family complements this activity by offering an elegant, ready-to-go design path for clients seeking proven performance with a personal touch.For Horsfield, the Voyage family represents a clear step forward: “It gives owners a choice of scale, a distinctive <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>' design language and the assurance that comes from a platform with genuine flexibility. It’s a chance to have a yacht that feels truly individual, built on foundations we know inside out.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/368529/image/large-3afcb512cc4afe2e455a44a5a770bc54.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/368529">With its combination of contemporary style, adaptable engineering and strong brand identity, the Voyage family underlines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>’ ability to compete on the global stage, offering a product that is as refined as it is versatile.

While the studio’s name has become synonymous with major Italian motor yacht brands such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/361" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Yachts (Company)">Ferretti</a>, due to the iconic designs of yachts like the 66-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Okto66.4m (217'10&quot;)ISA Yachts2014">Okto</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vallicelli Design (Company)">Studio Vallicelli Design</a>’s history is deeply rooted in the high-performance Italian sailing yacht sector. Founded and led in the 1970s by architect and professor Andrea Vallicelli, the studio has completed over 170 projects, around 50 of which are in the plus-24-metre segment and just under 40 of those are motor yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/348672/image/large-d20250b7e7f7e494b366a4b446f4868e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/348672">In 1976, the studio launched its first yachts, the 38-foot sailing yachts Gattone and Ziggurat, designed in collaboration with Carlo Alberto Tiberio. Gattone, the first hull of the V-Cat 38 series, raced in the 1976 One Ton Cup and established the studio as a player within the regatta circuit, a reputation reinforced by Ziggurat’s subsequent success. Over the following years, the studio went on to design consecutive winners, building on their reputation before eventually being chosen to design Italy’s first America’s Cup challenger, Azzurra. Designed for the 1983 Cup, Azzurra&nbsp;was a very fast 12m SI, and her build created a major buzz throughout the Italian and international sailing industries, with the yacht making it to the semi-finals against Britain’s Victory, designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/35" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dubois Naval Architects Ltd. (Company)">Ed Dubois</a>.Despite not winning the Cup, Azzurra returned to Italy to major acclaim and firmly rooted <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vallicelli Design (Company)">Vallicelli Design</a> as a household name in the sector. In the following years, the studio continued to design racing yachts, before moving into the cruising segment during the 1980s. The studio’s entrance to the motor yacht segment came a little later, initially working with the Italian military for small patrol vessels in the 1990s, until a lucky introduction to the Italian shipyard ISA opened up an entirely new sector to the studio. After an initial introduction, the studio was tasked with designing a new series for the yard, which became the 36.45- metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> 120.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337647/image/large-30eb5056fdc692805ec745ad1a48a673.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337647">A highly successful model, with 11 hulls launched between 2005 and 2017, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> 120 was the studio’s gateway into the motor yacht sector, and the beginning of a close-knit relationship between the shipyard and the studio that has endured to this day. It was the Italian shipyard, in fact, that built the studio’s first full-custom superyacht, the 63-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1691" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kolaha63.0m (206'8&quot;)ISA Yachts2010">Kolaha</a>, launched in 2010.

The 66-metre superyacht, with her black hull, aft deck pool and dramatic sweeping lines, made a major splash in the industry and remains one of the studio’s most recognisable yachts to date.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/113465/image/large-22c2ddb8d0c83b8426a8d795f1f18b22.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/113465">Speaking on the development of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Okto66.4m (217'10&quot;)ISA Yachts2014">Okto</a>, Andrea Vallicelli explained, “Over the years, we designed a series of steel-hulled motor yachts with aluminium superstructures, between 40 and 70- metres in length, for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> boatyard.

We approached various shipyards in Italy, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>, just as they were undergoing a management change. Stefano de Vivo, whom I hadn’t met before, reviewed our portfolio and liked one of our designs, a 70-metre yacht, which evolved into <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> 139, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Njoy72.26m (237'1&quot;)CRN2024">Njoy</a>, launched last year. Our relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> has since grown, and we’re now working together on new designs.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/303812/image/large-f57833810268990d5adf7e42d1ae67d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/303812">Like their relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>, the studio has developed a close collaboration with the Turkish shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a>, with whom they are currently working on the 79.99-metre Project Bravo.

While <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5994" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Roe73.6m (241'6&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2022">ROE</a> has remained a highly private yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8446" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Infinite Jest 75.0m (246'1&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2023">Infinite Jest</a> has been widely publicised since her launch, with her owners setting out on an incredibly ambitious maiden voyage that took them from Turkey, all the way to Antarctica and beyond. Alessandro adds, “After the quiet launches of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5994" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Roe73.6m (241'6&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2022">ROE</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Njoy72.26m (237'1&quot;)CRN2024">Njoy</a>, the publicity we received for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8446" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Infinite Jest 75.0m (246'1&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2023">Infinite Jest</a> has been a very welcome change for our team, particularly given the spectacular images of her surrounded by icebergs. She proved to the industry that you don't necessarily need to be ice-class to explore the most remote locations and we’ve had many positive reactions and requests from clients since her delivery.”While the studio has historically been known for its exterior and architectural work, in recent years there has been a significant expansion of its interior design department, headed up by Michelangelo Vallicelli. In fact, around 50 percent of the studio’s activities over the past year have been focused on interiors, a department that has been particularly busy due to the collaboration with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>. Not only has the studio been tasked with the interiors of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a> WHY series, but they have also developed the exterior and interior of the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a> GTX line (with an 80’ launched and a 70’ and 90’ to come in the next years).<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299759/image/large-9cef78b899cd5f09b077e90083e0c4c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299759"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/349148/image/large-3b8a63621de51da5e80f56f87b3b9d7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/349148">First announced in 2023, the 24-metre model represents the next generation for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> shipyard. Michelangelo explains, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a> sought to introduce more comfort and volume to the traditionally sporty, high-speed design. The GTX line achieves this by providing more space and a range of functional outdoor features, such as balconies and an adaptable aft platform. This transformation required rethinking <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a>’s iconic style to merge the brand’s speed-oriented DNA with a more spacious and luxurious experience.”The GTX has offered the studio the unique opportunity to design both the interior and exterior of the yachts. Michelangelo adds, “We aim for seamless integration between interiors and exteriors, treating the yacht as a cohesive entity rather than separate spaces. Working on the interiors for brands like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a>, our approach involves balancing volume, functionality, and aesthetic. We view yacht design as one unified vision rather than distinct exterior and interior disciplines.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307736/image/large-b697a64f9db974aa66fc26aba9cff337.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307736">Without a doubt, the team has done a remarkable job with the GTX80, packing in far more than expected into a 24-metre hull. Unsurprisingly, the expansive experience with sailing boat design has given the team a deep understanding of balance and structure, and how to operate within limited volumes.As the studio’s interior department expands, it surely won’t be long before it realises its dream of taking on a 360-degree superyacht project, designing both the interior and exterior. “We’re dedicated to continuing to expand in the motor yacht market and look forward to seeing our current projects come to life in the next few years. Each launch is a profoundly emotional moment, symbolising years of hard work and dedication,” concludes Alessandro.This article was first published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-52" target="_blank">issue 52 of the SuperYacht Times newspaper, available for download here.</a>

The renamed Turkish shipyard Turquoise Yachts is implementing changes to the company that will see them develop their product range to its full potential. Following the major stake acquisition by Dr. Mohammed Al Barwani in December 2014, the yard is now able to confidently build on their established reputation as a world-leading superyacht builder.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155516/image/large-559530b8f3e0710ae35d5ee9f5fd4026.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155516">Mehmet Karabeyoglu (left), CEO of Turquoise Yachts, and Dr. Mohammed Al Barwani (right)Three yachts are already under construction at Turquoise Yachts that include an 81m, a 72m and a 47 metre superyacht. With Dr. Al Barwani’s shared interest in both the Turkish shipyard and Dutch superyacht builder Oceanco, one of Turqouise’s new priorities will be the focus of building yachts up to 80 metres. “There is definitely an opportunity for a high quality, high value builder with an established track record,” says Al Barwani. “We’ll enhance Turquoise’s ability further with leading edge design and innovative engineering plus enhanced quality control and management systems.”“There’s an overriding technical element in our business,” says Mehmet Karabeyoglu, CEO of Turquoise. “Turkey has a long tradition in shipbuilding with a highly skilled workforce. We are extremely confident in our technical and engineering skills. What truly sets us apart is our widely recognised high quality which we get at a relatively low cost."By Charl van Rooy
