ON BOARD

DECEMBER 2017

Turquoise, which recently opened an office in Fort

Lauderdale and sold its latest build, 154ft Roe (ex

Razan), has unveiled one of the projects in its sheds.

The Turkish builder has begun construction on spec

of a 243ft yacht, with styling by A Vallicelli & C Yacht

Design and an interior by Ken Freivokh Design.

WHY WE LOVE IT: If it were a museum piece,

it would be Michelangelo’s David, all symmetry and

ideal proportions. Amenities include a beach club,

a garage large enough for a couple of tenders, and

a private outdoor movie lounge on the top deck.

The owners will enjoy the upper deck private suite

with wraparound windows overlooking a private

terrace and the helipad beyond. So that guests can

keep in shape while traveling the world, the designers

have made plans for a gym, sauna and a 23ft long

outdoor pool on the main deck.

It is built in steel and aluminum, has a top speed of

17 knots and a crew of 15, and the target completion

date is 2019. turquoiseyachts.com
