Forget Hot Baths. Turkey Is Now the World’s Third-Largest Builder of Superyachts.

Turkey is the world's third-largest builder of superyachts.

Turkey, known for hot baths, baklava and fine leather goods, is also a serious contender in yacht building.  But since marketing is not one of its strong suits, the country could stay the best-kept secret in the superyacht world. A rich maritime heritage, pedigree craftsmanship and low wages have created a niche that positions the country at the heart of yacht production.

The collection of brands dotted along Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline include Turquoise, Akyacht, Alia, Vicem, Sirena, Dunya and Bilgin, along with lesser-known builders. After it’s delivered later this year, Dream Symphony —a magnificent 462.7-foot schooner built by Dream Ship Victory—will become the largest private sailing yacht in the world, knocking the Dutch-built Black Pearl off the podium.

There have been some impressive names to come out of Turkey, including the sailing yacht Maltese Falcon , the 348-ft. Dream, 253-foot Go , and the 236-foot Axioma , among dozens of others.

At the Monaco Yacht Show two weeks ago, Bilgin displayed the first of its 263 series, Tatiana . Its interior includes walls and furniture of rich Macassar ebony, eucalyptus and different marbles, and the exterior has a sleek, sexy profile. Lead designer Emrecan Ozgun of Unique Yacht Design said his firm went all out to avoid “high-dosage design clichés” throughout the boat, making it one of the most contemporary, elegant launches this year.

Another major launch at Monaco was Victorious , a 279-footer from Akyachts, a new yard that the owner established to build the sleek superyacht. London-based H2 Yachts did the contemporary interior design, putting paid to the notion that Turkey’s designs lag behind the European builders.

“It’s now accepted that Turkey ranks third in the world for yacht construction in terms of total feet, after Italy and Holland,” Alexei Mikhailov, founder and president of Bering Yachts, told Robb Report . “In my opinion, it will soon be considered second.”

In April 2021, Bering’s 78.7-foot B77 explorer Veronika was delivered to her Australian owner. It’s the first of four deliveries planned by the shipyard this year, including a Bering 70, Bering 92 and Bering 76. Mikhailov believes the fiscal benefits of Turkey’s 18 Free Zones (VAT-free, tax-free and duty-free) make yacht building more accessible.

The Antalya Free Zone is the main yacht-building hub, accounting for around 80 percent, followed by Istanbul’s Tuzla district and Bodrum in the Muğla province. In 2019, 47 superyachts with a total combined length of 2,630 feet came out of the Antalya Free Zone, generating $95 million in revenue. The cross-section of owners came from the Netherlands, the U.S., Qatar, Croatia, the Ivory Coast, Portugal, Jamaica, Russia, Oman and Djibouti.

But Turkey’s appeal cuts deeper still. It has a solid artisanal workforce, a phenomenon that has arisen from the country’s longstanding manufacturing history and bespoke furniture making. And when the risk of a shipyard going bankrupt is taken off the table, the opportunity becomes even sweeter.

“Purchasing a new build in Turkey is different from anywhere else in the world,” says Mikhailov. “The certificate of ownership is issued to the owner by the federal government from the very start of construction, which means Turkish shipyards effectively work for hire. So, it’s a really safe and transparent way of boat building that puts the owner in control from the beginning.”

In Bursa, at its 1.7-million-sq. foot yard, Sirena Yachts is making waves with its flagship 88, the shipyard’s largest model to date. Hulls three and four delivered in June 2021 to their Canadian and Spanish owners. The Canadian owner plans to live aboard for seven months a year, cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean. Eight hulls have sold in total to owners from Russia, North America and across Europe.

“The Sirena 88 is not a first-time user type of boat,” Ali Ongar, CCO at Sirena Yachts told Robb Report . “It’s designed for the owner who knows what they want. It’s a real hybrid, combining the American trawler-style of boat with superyacht speed and finesse and a bespoke interior, if required.”

Building speculation boats, Sirena Yachts has created a rapid lead time of just two years. But if an owner steps in up to 10 months before delivery, they still have the option to customize their yacht interior. “We never stop building our hulls,” says Ongar. “We can build a 58-foot yacht from start to finish in four months, so that means we have the capacity to deliver one boat every 35 days throughout the year. That’s the beauty of building on speculation.”

Many Turkish yards are also collaborating with established European designers to further elevate the status of the yachts. Ken Freivokh and Dykstra Naval Architects are the names behind Dream Symphony and Cor D. Rover penned Sirena 88’s interior.

If the growing demand for new yachts following this year’s Cannes and Monaco yacht shows is any indication, Turkey’s boatbuilding sector could be in for a strong run over the next three years. “We have the best address in the world for semi-custom yachts,” says Sayakci.

5 Turkish Shipbuilders Making Waves in the Industry

The best yachts from shipbuilders in istanbul, turkey..

Istanbul, Turkey has a long history in global trade and shipbuilding as the city was once the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. Turkey is the bridge between Asia and Europe; and Istanbul lies in a strategic location on the shores of the Marmara Sea, the Golden Horn, and the Bosporus. 

Over the (many) years, Turkish shipbuilding established an international reputation for producing technologically advanced boats largely credited to an experienced workforce. Today, shipbuilders such as Turquoise Yachts and Bilgin Yachts build some of the most impressive boats in the world.

In September 2021, Denison embarked on their annual shipyard tour in Europe. Past years took a team of yacht brokers to Italy , Germany , and Holland . This year, they visited Turkey, home to some of the most prestigious shipyards in the world. The tour helped Denison yacht brokers to gain a deeper understanding and first-hand experience of new products so they can recommend certain brands or models to clients.

Here are 5 Turkish shipbuilders making waves in the industry today.

Numarine Yacht Delivered

Located in Gebze, Turkey, Numarine hosts an expansive production facility with the capacity to build up to 50 motor yachts per year. The shipbuilder employs dedicated in-house departments for glass, upholstery, cabinetry, and metalwork — bringing everything in-house allows Numarine to execute the innovation and build of each yacht to the highest quality. Plus added flexibility for customization .

Denison represents Numarine’s Explorer range of luxury motor yachts, which includes the 22XP, 26XP, 32XP, 37XP, and 45XP. Each model delivers unmatched performance and comfort for entertaining friends or family while cruising the world. Just look at the Numarine 32XP — it has one of the best sundecks and best beach clubs in her size category.

The Turkish shipyard is proving to be popular in North America. In the past 12 months, Alex Clarke sold Hulls #2 , #3 , #4 , and #5 of the Numarine 37XP .

Alpha Custom Yachts

Alpha Custom Yachts Shipyard

Alpha Custom Yachts is the new kid on the block of Turkish shipyards. The boutique shipbuilder was founded by Roberto and Jorge Aboumrad in 2017. As experienced yachtsmen, the Abourmrad brothers noticed that traditional yacht designs did not always reflect the way the owner used the boat. So they partnered with experienced boat builders in Turkey and established Alpha Custom Yachts.

When Denison visited this new Turkish shipyard, the team was impressed with current builds under construction. What other shipbuilders have as options are considered standard features on all of Alpha’s offerings including heavy-duty deck gear, a pair of oversized pocket anchors, substantial stainless safety rails, and top-quality teak decks. David Johnson is the point of contact for Alpha Custom Yachts in North America .

Turquoise Yachts

Turquoise Yachts Floating Dock

Turquoise Yachts was established in 1997 by Proteksan Yachts Inc. and Turquoise Yacht Construction. The shipbuilder operates out of two yards on the outskirts of Istanbul. The shipyard in Pendik is used for interior outfitting, and the shipyard in Kocaeli is dedicated to steel and aluminum work. The innovative minds at Turquoise launched a floating dock to lift and transport yachts (up to 2500 tons) between the two yards during construction and outfitting.

An extraordinary example of a Turquoise yacht is QUANTUM OF SOLACE , a 238-foot superyacht valued at $60 million. It’s one of four yachts with a double-height atrium in the main salon. Just an example of the imagination and ingenuity coming from this Turkish shipyard.

Bilgin Yachts

Bilgin Yachts Shipyard

Bilgin Yachts operates four shipyards throughout Istanbul to design and build custom superyachts. The Turkish shipyard employs over 400 highly-skilled craftsmen operating across its facilities so that about 90% of the manufacturing is completed in-house. Bilgin Yachts also operates its own marine stainless steel workshop and furniture design center that saves time and money during new builds.

During Denison’s shipyard tour of Bilgin Yachts, the team stepped on board the 80-meter superyacht TATIANA . She’s the first release in a series of three 80-meter superyachts under construction at Bilgin Yachts. TATIANA boasts a bullet-shaped bow and sporty profile complete with a two-level beach club, two pools, several bars, and a cinema.

Dunya Yachts

Dunya Yachts Shipyard

Dunya Yachts began as Ursa Shipyard in 1983. In 2005, current President Sedat Ergun transformed the shipyard into a powerhouse and renamed it Dunya (the Turkish word for “world”). Today, this Turkish shipyard completes new construction custom yachts up to 100 meters in length.

In 2013, Dunya launched an impressive 236-foot custom yacht called AXIOMA . Among the yacht’s many features are a two-story salon atrium, an owner’s deck with a private terrace, an infinity swimming pool, a gym, spa/steam room, and a 3D cinema. AXIOMA was listed with Denison for $80 million.

Video Highlights | Denison Shipyard Tour 2021

Every year, Denison completes a shipyard tour to learn more about specific brands, models, and products. This year, the team flew to Istanbul to be on the ground at some of the world’s biggest shipyards. Contact a Denison yacht broker to find your next Turkish-built yacht.

Global Order Book reveals Turkey enters 2024 with 132 superyachts in build

BOAT International's Global Order Book has revealed Turkey is now the second-largest yacht-building nation, eclipsing the Netherlands and coming second to Italy. The country will enter 2024 with 132 superyachts in build with a notable order book expansion of 40 per cent. 

This eastward shift in the market marks the biggest change in this year's Global Order Book. Last year, shipyards in Turkey reported 102 projects, totalling 4,167 metres, while this year it reports 132 superyachts under way and 5,838 metres of production.

Dethroned from second place is the Netherlands, which maintains a strong order book of 80 projects amounting to a total 4,959 metres of production. As ever, Italy remains at the top of the leaderboard, dominating the market with a superyacht production that represents 51.4 per cent of the global total.

Turkey is constructing a total gross tonnage of 73,011, averaging 553GT per project, far above the global average. Despite the high numbers, quality does not suffer and a recent visit to the country for the Global Order Book's Annual Report revealed a significant improvement in the quality of the yachts in build and shipyards that are not afraid to invest in capital infrastructure.

The level of production is impressive, as demonstrated by key players like AKYACHT for instance, which is building a 100-metre, and the Turkish division of Damen Yachting , which has five projects, including two 60-metre SeaXplorers. Mengi Yay , Numarine , Turquoise , Sirena Yachts , Magnolia Yachts , Bilgin and SES Yachts also play a big part in the nation's impressive activity. 

The full Annual Report – which provides an analysis of the state of the superyacht industry based on the Global Order Book's comprehensive data of the superyachts currently in build – will be released on 6 December, exclusively for BOATPro members.

Gulet Construction

yacht building in turkey

Completely tailor-made, unique...

The headquarter of our company is in Bodrum where the highest quality and the best wooden yachts of the World are produced. Moreover, our branches and agencies that are near Bozburun region which has recently made a name for itself in the wooden yacht construction, use the advantage of our location for our customers who demand a new yacht production, in the best way they can.

We would like to express that, as a company, we will provide the highest level of professional support for the construction of the yacht of your dreams.

As soon as you contact us for the construction of a new yacht, we will start a process that is completely carried out systematically in the light of our previous experience and that is difficult but produces a beautiful result.

First of all you need to decide on the purpose of the yacht you wish to get constructed. Do you want a commercial wooden yacht, or are you looking for a high level of comfort for your family and guests or a sail fanatic? It is possible to add further details to these criteria and produce a lot more different alternatives that are out of ordinary. After having made our decision on this subject, by agreeing upon the necessary technical details, budget and time planning we can start the gulet construction process.

But we would like to especially state that construction of a new yacht is a long process that demands patience. Moreover the budget is relative in direct proportion to the materials and equipment. Therefore, before going for the agreement process, we recommend you to specify all the possible details and write them down.

Planning and Project Design

When we compare the custom production yachts with the mass production yachts, their most characteristic feature that comes to the forefront is that they are all unique. However much the appearance of the wooden gulets look similar, their technical features, the equipment used, furniture, decoration and the floorings are different from one another.

In line with your opinions, the process starts with the drawing of the architectural draft project by our company. Of course everything should be as you imagined but if some technical issues are not possible; our engineers will guide you as needed. It shouldn`t be forgotten that the technical performance and safety of a yacht is at least as important as its decoration and appearance.

Our engineer presents you the three dimensional drawings showing the outer appearance of the yacht by including the details about the power, comfort, mechanics, motor and electricity. This work can continue for a few days until an agreement is reached and if necessary your architect can present you new drawings again and again. Thanks to this, by calculating the fine details before the production, the errors that may occur during the production process are prevented.

By presenting you multiple architecture alternatives during this process, our company will make a contract with the architect whom you decided on.

Contract and Starting the Construction

After this step, a representation agreement will be signed between you and our company for the construction and the other legal procedures. During the construction process, tracking and the responsibility of the matters such as ensuring that the material that is used is not other than that was contracted, that the production is completed within the period that was promised, will be under our company`s control.

As long as the production continues, even if you are in another city or country, our company will present you the progress with photographs from time to time and will allow you to track all the progress.

Yacht production is a long and difficult process that cannot be explained in a few sentences. To have more detailed information about this, please don`t hesitate to contact us.

And this is not surprising. The first large shipyards appeared here during the time of the Byzantine Empire. And residents built traditional ships thousands of years before that.
