Aegean Yacht

Aegean Yacht is a Turkish shipyard and yacht-building brand based in Bodrum, a major maritime and tourism center on the Aegean coast. The company was established in 1976 by Sinan Ozer and operates from a seaside boatyard covering approximately 15,000 square meters. Its business combines yacht design, construction, and turnkey delivery, with an emphasis on individually commissioned vessels rather than a narrowly standardized production range. The shipyard specializes in steel vessels and is reported to build yachts of up to 80 meters in length overall, including vessels constructed to MCA class requirements. Its custom-line approach is intended to give clients broad latitude in specifying the layout, styling, accommodation, onboard systems, and other characteristics of a yacht. This places Aegean Yacht within the bespoke and semi-custom segment of the yacht industry, where the shipbuilder acts as both a manufacturing partner and a project integrator. Aegean Yacht has completed more than 40 yachts ranging from 16 to 50 meters in length overall. Its completed vessels have been exported to a wide range of destinations, including Australia, the Caribbean, Thailand, Egypt, Eritrea, the Maldives, several European countries, the Canary Islands, Malta, Djibouti, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and other international markets. These exports indicate that the company serves an overseas clientele in addition to any domestic Turkish demand. The available reference material does not identify a separate consumer product portfolio, a public-company structure, a parent group, current senior management, or a corporate website. It also does not provide sufficient information to establish the company’s present operating status beyond describing its shipyard activities. Accordingly, Aegean Yacht is best documented as a privately associated Turkish yacht-building and shipyard brand whose principal proposition is the international construction and turnkey delivery of custom steel yachts.

Aegean Yacht was established in 1976 by Sinan Ozer in Bodrum, Turkey. The company developed as a shipyard and ship builder serving the custom-yacht market, with its base located on the seaside in one of Turkey’s best-known boating regions. Its facilities are described as occupying approximately 15,000 square meters. Rather than presenting a large standardized catalogue, Aegean Yacht has operated according to a custom-line principle. Under this model, clients can participate extensively in determining the design and configuration of their vessels. The approach is suited to owners seeking individually specified yachts and allows projects to vary in arrangement, appearance, equipment, and intended use. The company’s offering includes design, construction, and turnkey delivery, indicating responsibility for the project through completion rather than only for fabrication of a hull or selected components. The shipyard builds steel vessels and is described as capable of constructing yachts up to 80 meters in length overall, with MCA-class work included in its capabilities. Publicly available profile information states that the company has completed more than 40 yachts, with completed vessels ranging from 16 to 50 meters in length overall. This production history places the company in the specialist custom-yacht sector, where relatively low unit volumes and project-specific engineering are typical. Aegean Yacht’s vessels have been exported to markets across Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Reported destinations include Australia, the Caribbean, Thailand, Egypt, Eritrea, the Maldives, Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Greece, the Canary Islands, Malta, Djibouti, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia. The geographic spread of these deliveries shows that the shipyard’s commercial reach has extended well beyond Turkey. The available reference material does not document ownership changes, acquisitions, a public listing, named current executives, major product families, corporate campaigns, controversies, or detailed year-by-year developments. It also does not establish whether the company remains active at the time of this dossier. The documented history therefore centers on its founding, Bodrum shipyard facilities, custom steel-yacht capabilities, completed-vessel record, and international exports.

• Custom steel yachtsCustom yacht construction

  Aegean Yacht’s principal offering is the design and construction of individually commissioned steel yachts. The shipyard’s custom-line approach gives clients substantial freedom over vessel concepts and specifications rather than restricting them to a fixed series. Its reported capabilities extend to vessels up to 80 meters in length overall, while completed yachts cited in the company profile range from 16 to 50 meters. Projects may be delivered on a turnkey basis.

• Turnkey yacht projectsYacht design and delivery services

  The brand presents itself as a full-project yacht partner, combining design, shipbuilding, and final delivery. A turnkey model can cover the coordination of a client’s requested design and onboard requirements through completion of the vessel. The available material does not specify the exact engineering, interior, propulsion, or after-sales services included in individual contracts, so the scope likely varies by project.
