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.

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 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 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 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 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.

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.

The Dunya Yachts Story

The waterfront site where the current shipyard sits has been in the Ergun family since the 1950’s. Originally the setting of their holiday home, the family took the opportunity to develop it into the Ursa Shipyard in 1983 after the area was rezoned in a government move to shift the growing commercial shipping industry out of the city centre.

In 2005, the current President, Sedat Ergun, took over the reins of the company and transformed the shipyard into the advanced technology facility it is today, dedicated to the construction and refit of the world’s finest superyachts. At the same time a new brand, Dunya Yachts, was born to compete with leading northern European shipyards in the construction of large yachts. Since modernisation, the yard has completed the build of the universally acclaimed 73m yacht Axioma and over the last 10 years established itself as the centre for refits for large yachts in Turkey with works completed to more than 25 yachts up to 72m in length.

About the Founder Sedat Ergun is the founder, owner and president of Dunya Yachts. Born in Turkey, he spent most of his formative years studying in the US.

After completing his education, he spent time working as a project manager at a large construction company specialising in enterprise resource planning before returning to Turkey in 2005, where he applied his experience to yacht building. He was the driving force behind the multi-award-winning 73m Dunya Yachts built Axioma, widely acknowledged as the finest yacht to ever come out of Turkey.

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.

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.

Sirena 88 facing the world, bow-on.Meanwhile, Evadne Yachts in Istanbul has also collaborated with Vripack to produce an entire series of Rock models, ranging between 80 and 138 feet. “When you pair world-class design with Turkey’s competitive boatbuilding edge, you create the ultimate talent pool,” Ali Sayakci, owner of Evadne Yachts, told Robb Report .

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.

Yacht Building Turkey has long and a successful background from generations. Our grand fathers used to say that a large wooden gulet used to take 3 to 4 years to complete and launch.

Nowadays large gulets can be sea trial-ready at sea in 15 to 18 months from the date the keel has been laid. We have recently built a 34 meters length first-class quality Turkish gulet with five cabins in three layers of laminated wooden and two layers of epoxy fiber and she has been completed in 16 months only.

Akasia Yachting can guide you to build your dream yacht from a reputable naval architect design to final construction either from marine grade high tensile steel, marine-grade Aluminium alloy, GRP, or composite with your taste, design, and choice of interiors with the best construction materials and furniture available in the market to deliver a unique yacht with a glossy finish.

Yacht Design and Building

With many years in the yachting industry, we build motoryachts, luxury gulets, and performance sailing yachts in our own and subcontracted boatyards located in Fethiye, Bozburun, Bodrum, and Istanbul. State of the art technologies is being used to build modern custom-made yachts which we are proud of.

Akasia Yacht building contracts are carefully handled with lawyers and the ordered yachts are registered in the name of her owner upon initial payment and the yacht design process is taken seriously to meet the highest international standards with the best possible prices. Turkish yacht building industry has been enjoying megayacht construction orders without compromising on the highest quality craftsmanship and our boatyard meets deadlines and delivery conditions with satisfied customers.

Gulet Building

Luxury Gulet construction, Gulets are mainly classified by their stern parts which can be described in two models, sphere stern gulets and also straight transom gulets. with ketch riggings. The rounded stern gulet has limited space under the aft deck due to their hydrodynamic design and the cabins are located at the forepart, Engine room is located right under the aft deck and saloon.

The entrance to the saloon and the cabins are from the stern deck and sphere stern gulet has a very aesthetic silhouette due to their low freeboard and varnished wooden plankings, Transom gulets have higher freeboards and are more spacious, the entrance to the aft cabin where the master cabin is located or in some gulets the galley is accessed with 4 stairs from the mid saloon.

The silhouette of a sphere stern Gulet from a distance is more artistic however Transom stern Gulets are more spacious with a very efficient layout plan and interior designs.

Motoryacht Building

Motor yacht Building has been far more improved than ever with space-age materials and unprecedented technological advances, radical designs, and quality craftsmanship with modern interiors. The Decision-making process before commencing the project is very important, one has to decide which material is to build the motor yacht hull and certainly the model of the boat, shipyard, and yacht construction engineers in order to contract the project manager.

The owner should choose an experienced supervisor captain to help the yacht building engineer and to monitor shipyard progress. Akasia yacht building as always will be there for you to make sure that you have your yacht built with the highest standards and the way you wanted supporting you before during and after construction including rigging, crewing, etc. Quality motoryachts deserve experienced crew such as captains, deckhands, engineers, chefs, and maids.

Sailing Yacht Building

The sailing yacht Building in Turkey has been improved for the last 20 years to meet the highest world standards for performance sailing. These sailing yachts are built in many different ways and different materials, such as epoxy laminated cold-molded wooden, grp, aluminum, or hts steel.

Certainly, a wooden sailing yacht looks more beautiful than a grp However they are much harder and costly to maintain in perfect shape. Nowadays many people prefer grp, steel, aluminum, or carbon kevlar hulls which are lighter, faster, and need less maintanence during wintering. We can help you build your dream yacht from the very early project designing stage to boatyard installations and hull construction of your performance sailing yacht.

The Future Of Sailing And And Boating Industry All Over The World

Our children are far more nature conscience than we were ever since global warming is threatening our planet and the polar ice melting, we all have to be energy efficient and consume fewer fossil fuels in order to save our planet, well since we have nowhere else to go, we better act less selfish and more eco – friendly, right?

We all know how much fuel consumes a twin pack of 1100 HP engines of a motoryacht which can be outrageous 600 liters per hour of speed cruising when compared to a sailing trimaran.

Mega Yacht Building

We believe that sailing yachts are becoming more and more fuel efficient with electronic fuel disbursement pumps and are more eco friendly with ever improving technologies and lightweight Hitech yacht building materials instruments such as carbon kevlar and epoxy bonding materials.

The epoxy laminated Composite materials which are recently introduced into the yacht building industry are lightweight and resistant to the wear and tear of seawater when compared to steel, aluminum, or laminated wood construction materials. The teak is still the number one preference of any yacht design for its resistance to seawater and warmth as prime material however there are alternative composite materials which is Teak lookalike and even more resistant than the natural fiber of tropical forests which are under extinction.

Either power yacht or a sailing yacht the hull is the most important element of a boat for long term consideration and the new advances in Yacht designing and building has reached unparalleled levels of stamina and competence, the bigger and faster the better is the main motto of many yacht building companies and the worlds leading yacht charter and brokerage houses such as Camper and Nicholsons, Fraser yachts, Akasia, Atolyacht, Barcomar, Marenostra and Stellamaris are leading the way to more advanced fuel efficiency and lightweight Technologies.

The heavy displacement mega yachts so-called stable tall ships are built-in with complex zero stabilizers which have improved the yachting pleasure even in rough seas and computer-controlled Hydraulic powered sailing gears are now a must in sailing together with Highly resistant and Flexible aluminum masts and rods of 316L stainless steel at its best.

The new generation all in one screen navigational instruments become so popular that most of the circumnavigational technics and astral navigation with sextants has become obsolete with those newly improved satellite interfaced ARPA radars, super precise Gps, and multicolored 3D chart plotters are a part of standard navigational devices and instruments which are becoming cheaper and more accessible to all even the most radical adventurer who consider circumnavigation in a bathtub.

We pledge to a better world in harmony with mother nature and expect the worldwide nautical community to share ideas and combine forces to stop wasting our planet and turn to less polluting energy resources such as Hydrogen production from the seawater and magnetic power which already exists but handicapped by seven sisters and the huge fossil fuel industry.

HPDE -High Density Polyetylene- is a strong and robust material deviated from petrol. Unlike other polyetylenes, HDPE is heavy and firm. Approximately, 1.75 kg petrol is used to produce 1 kg HDPE raw material. HDPE is lighter then water and together with its durability it becomes a preferred material for marine manufacturing purposes. HDPE boats can be shaped by molding and extrusion methods. It can be processed in workshops and can be welded with special methods. It is difficult to combine with adhesives.

HDPE is a very strong material with a density between 150.000 and 400.000. Its resistant to water and chemicals. HDPE’s mechanical composition is extremely strong on impact and tension. Normally the tension resistance is like 225-350 kgf/cm 2 and heat resistance is above 100 OC. HDPE is widely used in pressure pipes, gas distribution pipes, liquid containers, machine and home appliance parts and in insulation. Lately, because of its resistance to water, it is also used in tank and boat manufacturing.

100% Recyclable

HDPE Boats are environmentally friendly and 100 % recyclable. HDPE boats can be remelted and reshaped for reuse.

Indestructible

HDPE is not a breakable material. Its very dense, and its tension crack resistance and crack running resistance are high, the impacts remain minimum damage. HDPE boats are almost indestructible.

Maintenance Free

HDPE is a thermoplastic material and it is not corrosive unlike conventional materials. HDPE Boats require almost no maintenance. There is no need for anti-foiling, painting, wintering, dry docking etc.

HDPE is a very safe material and it is lighter than water, and HDPE Boats are literally non-sinkable. HDPE Boats also provide extra fenders around the hull of the boat that procure extra safety and protection.

Non-corrosive

HDPE is not a corrosive material. Oxygen, salt and water have no effect on HDPE.

No Antifouling

HDPE hull does not need any antifouling paint and it does not pose any toxic pollution to the nature. HDPE material provides low operation cost.

High Impact Resistance

HDPE is not a rigid material, therefore; HDPE Boats are very resistant expecially to strong weather conditions, sailing on choppy seas in comparision to the rigid conventional boats.

Long Life Cycle

Due to its chemical composition and its very nature HDPE is very durable against aging and corrosion on maritime conditions. HDPE boats' life is up to 50 years. Thus, HDPE has much longer lifespan than any other material used in maritime industry.
