The Turkish Fleet Headed for Monaco Yacht Show 2026
When the global yachting community gathers in Port Hercule for the Monaco Yacht Show, conversations often turn to the latest developments in yacht design and construction. This year, the Eastern Mediterranean is attracting growing attention in these discussions.
Türkiye’s presence at MYS 2026 extends beyond the yachts on display, offering a glimpse into the country’s growing role in the international yachting industry. From bespoke explorer vessels and superyachts to sophisticated sailing yachts, the Turkish yards presenting their work in Monaco this September reflect an industry that has continued to develop and expand its international reach.
To walk the docks in Monaco this year is to witness the sheer breadth of Turkish craftsmanship:
SIMENA, ARES YACHTS | 62 m | 499 GT | 2026
At 62 metres, Simena marks a significant milestone for ARES Yachts as the Antalya-based shipyard's flagship and first superyacht above 60 metres. Her classical ketch profile, developed by Taka Yacht Design, gives the yacht a distinctly timeless character, while interiors by Design Unlimited introduce a more contemporary interpretation of traditional yachting.
Built as a bluewater cruiser, Simena combines classic sailing aesthetics with modern technology, including a hybrid propulsion system. Her 2026 launch represents an important step for ARES as it moves further into the large custom yacht segment.

V, AVA YACHTS | 25.7 m | 199 GT | 2026
At 25.7 metres, V is the most compact yacht in the Turkish showcase, but its proportions and 199 GT volume give it the presence of a considerably larger vessel.
Built by AvA Yachts, the explorer yacht focuses on efficiency, autonomy and practical cruising. Its inclusion in the Monaco lineup also highlights the breadth of Turkey's production capabilities extending from compact long-range yachts to projects approaching 90 metres.

MERINOS, GX SUPERYACHTS / SES YACHTS | 42.1 m | 353 GT | 2026
Merinos represents the collaboration between GX Superyachts and SES Yachts and forms part of the new generation of yachts developed around efficient cruising and generous onboard volume.
At 42.1 metres and 353 GT, her raised-pilot-house configuration creates a clear separation between navigation and guest areas while allowing the main decks to focus on relaxation and entertainment. The result is a contemporary yacht designed around outdoor living and extended stays on board.

GRAY WOLF, MENGI YAY | 52.4 m | 499 GT | 2026
At just over 52 metres, Gray Wolf represents Mengi Yay's growing presence in the explorer yacht segment. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the yacht has been conceived around long-range cruising and extended time at sea.
The design by VYD Studio gives Gray Wolf a contemporary explorer profile, while naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects underlines the yacht's focus on efficiency and range. At 499 GT, she offers substantial volume while retaining the purposeful character expected from a modern expedition yacht.

MEIRA, NETA MARINE | 54.5 m | 497 GT | 2018
Delivered in 2018, Meira represents the more established side of Turkey's large-yacht building expertise. At 54.5 metres and 497 GT, the yacht combines substantial volume with the elegance and performance characteristics of a large sailing yacht.
Her presence in Monaco alongside much newer Turkish projects also demonstrates the continuity of the country's expertise in building complex, large-scale yachts particularly in a segment where engineering, craftsmanship and construction quality are critical.

40MXP, NUMARINE YACHTS | 39.42 m | 379 GT | 2026
The 40MXP brings Numarine's sporty design language into the explorer category. At 39.42 metres, the yacht combines the long-range capabilities associated with expedition vessels with a more contemporary, lifestyle-oriented approach to onboard living.
Its generous exterior spaces and strong connection to the water are central to the design, making the 40MXP equally suited to relaxed Mediterranean cruising and longer adventures further afield.

GRACE III, SES YACHTS | 39.34 m | 131 GT | 2021
Grace III brings a classic sailing yacht character to the Turkish fleet. Built by SES Yachts and delivered in 2021, the 39.34-metre yacht belongs to the Truly Classic 128 series and combines traditional proportions with modern construction.
Her elegant lines and sailing-focused layout offer a contrast to the contemporary motor yachts surrounding her in Monaco, highlighting another side of Turkey's yachtbuilding capabilities: the ability to deliver sophisticated sailing yachts where craftsmanship and timeless design take centre stage.

SIRENA 118, SIRENA YACHTS | 36 m | 265 GT | 2026
The Sirena 118 represents a new chapter for Sirena Yachts, extending the Turkish builder's composite range into the 36-metre class. Built at Sirena's Yalova facility, the three-deck yacht is now the largest model in the shipyard's composite portfolio.
Her exterior is designed in-house, with naval architecture by Germán Frers and interiors by Cor D. Rover. The layout focuses on generous living spaces, natural light and a strong connection between the interior and the sea, while retaining the understated character associated with Sirena.

SIRENA 42M, SIRENA YACHTS | 42.23 m | 433 GT | 2026
The 42M takes Sirena into an entirely new construction category. At 42.23 metres and 433 GT, it is the shipyard's largest and most technically ambitious yacht to date, marking the emergence of Sirena Superyachts as a dedicated superyacht division.
Unlike the GRP-built Sirena 118, the 42M adopts a steel-and-aluminium construction. Its design places particular emphasis on generous outdoor living, large social spaces and direct access to the sea, reflecting a growing demand for yachts designed around extended time on board.

S7, TANSU YACHTS | 39.3 m | 298 GT | 2016
S7 remains a distinctive example of Tansu Yachts' unmistakable design philosophy. Delivered in 2016, the 39.3-metre yacht reflects the shipyard's Mothership Series, known for combining rugged, explorer-inspired architecture with sophisticated interiors.
Her strong exterior lines and substantial outdoor areas give S7 a purposeful appearance, while her interior spaces provide a more refined counterpoint. Almost a decade after her delivery, the yacht continues to represent the individuality of the Tansu approach.

ANGELIQUE, TURQUOISE YACHTS | 87.7 m | 2,550 GT | 2026
At 87.7 metres, Angelique is the largest yacht in the Turkish fleet presented in Monaco and the largest yacht ever launched by Turquoise Yachts. Formerly known as Project Vento, the yacht was launched in January 2026 after construction began in 2021.
Designed inside and out by H2 Yacht Design, Angelique represents the continued development of Turquoise's 80-metre platform and demonstrates the Istanbul-based shipyard's capabilities at the upper end of the custom superyacht market.

Alongside these yachts, Bilgin Yachts, Tersan Marine, RMK Marine Shipyard and the Turkish Ship, Yacht & Marine Services Exporters Association are also represented with stands at the show.
This impressive collective is a testament to an ecosystem that refuses to stand still where engineering prowess meets uncompromising design.
As we look ahead to the autumn season, the momentum generated in Monaco will naturally flow straight to the heart of the region's industry dialogue.
This November, 4th edition of Superyacht Summit Türkiye will convene the leading voices, visionaries, and decision-makers in Istanbul to dissect these very shifts, examine global market dynamics, and chart the future of superyachting on 4–5 November 2026 in Istanbul.
