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.

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.

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.

MAKING YACHTING SIMPLE AND FUN

A selection of yachts you can trust.

At Serenity Yachting, we don’t just charter yachts. We make friends and create memories that last a lifetime. Our crewed yacht charters take you to the places we love best: the secluded coves, the local beaches, the ancient ruins that can only be reached by boat. You’ll feast on Turkish cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients. And you’ll enjoy a level of service that is simply unmatched in Turkey. We are a family business, and our repeat guests tell us they like our friendliness, honesty and professional attitude. On a Serenity charter, you are always our honored guest. But we hope you’ll also become our friend.

Our Services

• Crewed Yacht Charter
• Yacht Brokerage
• Charter Management
• Yacht Management
• Build & Refıt

Many of our guests tell us their Serenity charter yacht vacation was one of the best experiences of their lives. Our charter yachts travel the spectacular coastlines of Turkey and Croatia, taking you to charming coastal villages and secluded coves and beaches. Click below to see our yachts up close.

We act as yacht brokers for vessels we know very well. If you are looking to buy one of our yachts, we can quickly answer your questions and provide detailed information. If you’d like to sell your yacht, you can expect personal attention, an honest value assessment and a marketing plan designed to sell your yacht quickly and at the best price possible.

Successfully chartering a yacht takes experience, attention to detail and a solid marketing plan. Over the years, we’ve become quite good at all three, and we’ve built a reputation for excellence. When you hire us to manage your yacht charters, you’ll save time and money, keep your crew and yacht in top shape, and get the most from your investment. And importantly, you’ll be confident that your yacht is in good hands.

We make yachting more fun by helping you with the details. Our yacht management clients trust us to manage their yachts in a way that maintains their value and saves money in the long run. Depending on the size of your yacht and your goals, we can manage your maintenance, finances, crew or charters.

Our shipyard has built or refit vessels as small as 8 meters and as large as 46 meters. We’re different than many other shipyards because our team can take your boat building project from its earliest conception all the way to launch day. This means you can work directly with your shipbuilding team, saving time and cutting down on costs. And our approach ensures that every part of your project will meet Serenity’s high standards.

Unlike most yacht charter and management companies, our family business includes our own shipyard in Turkey. We have built and refit projects up to 46 meters in both wood and steel – including some of the Turkish gulets that we offer for charter. Our naval architects, project managers and post construction management team can handle every phase of a shipbuilding project in house – saving both time and money in the construction process.

AKYACHT is a contemporary and dynamic, ISO 9001 Lloyd's-certified, superyacht shipyard located in Turkey, with immense industry background and vision. The first breakthrough project for the shipyard was a spectacular 85m superyacht   Victorious , the biggest superyacht ever built in Turkey. The AKYACHT brand stands for: innovative technical features, unprecedented quality, exceptional customer service, aftersales support, and the best warranty service in the industry. The shipyard's stated mission is to become one of the major shipyards in the superyacht industry delivering exceptional quality, to consolidate its position by developing and sustaining trustful, long-term business relationships with its clients and solution partners.

The AKYACHT shipyard was founded in 2015 in Kocaeli Free Trade Zone, under the leadership of Mr. Ak, who is not only a visionary person, successful businessman but more important, he is a very experienced yacht owner. Worth mentioning that AKYACHT has strong financial support and an innovative vision, being a part of the Intercity group, the largest leasing and fleet rental company in Turkey. It is remarkable that Mr. Ak, the founder of the shipyard, also organizes the Turkish Formula 1 Grand Prix, as the owner of the Istanbul Park Circuit.

Outstanding In-house Expertise

Although the shipyard was officially established in 2015, neither the owner nor the staff were new to the yachting industry. The shipyard is proud to have its own ISO 9001 Lloyd's-certified facilities. These include one 1,800m2 build shed of 90m in length and a second 60m-long 1,200m2 shed, both environmentally controlled with associated workshops en-suite, on a waterside site of around 15,000m2. More importantly, the management team assembled a highly qualified and now well-established team of over 100 specialists. In-house disciplines include joinery, painting, outfitting, piping, machinery, electrical systems, and supporting disciplines such as project management, planning, engineering, interior design, quality assurance, human resources, and IT.

Delivering Exceptional Value

Given the collective experience and expertise behind the shipyard team, the owner never hesitated before taking on the construction of the largest yacht ever built in Turkey. AKYACHT 's first project was the 85m Victorious , a steel-hulled expedition yacht built to Lloyd's 100 A1 classifications for up to 24 guests in 12 suites, as well as its unique to the industry 12.8m aluminium catamaran limousine beach-lander tender. Both were successfully delivered in 2021 and the yacht made a highly acclaimed debut at the Monaco Yacht Show. The yacht includes some of the rarest features, such as sun deck gentlemen's club with wine cellar, humidor and working fireplace, full sea-level spa, two sea terraces, spectacular beach club, generous swimming pool, cinema, and many other features.

Superyacht Refit Facilities

Aside from the new build superyacht projects, the shipyard has also completed three successful refit projects, two 52m yachts and one of 31.4m in length, proving its ability to handle projects of any kind. If you are looking for a proven, state-of-the-art shipyard to build and fit out a yacht up to 100m in length, constructed to classification in steel or aluminium, AKYACHT should be added to your shortlist.

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.
