Proteksan & Turquoise's New In Build 75m

Proteksan & Turquoise currently have a 75m (246ft) project NB55 in construction at their facility in Turkey. The project has two different exterior styles for the owner to choose from, one which has a longer sheer line and incorporates a fully glazed window recess along the main deck giving an elegant and sleek profile. The alternative style has a modified sheer line that is shorter and includes large vertical windows as seen in the image below. In both styles the guest accommodation is not in the traditional place on the lower deck, but forward on the main deck. This gives the guests spacious cabins with spectacular views from the large windows that are incorporated into the hull, seen below. The construction is at a stage where the superstructure can still be modified to the owners choice of design.She has been designed by Andrew Winch of Andrew Winch Designs and includes several specific and creative features, like the spa beach balcony and arrival dock, the aft swim stairs and open beach club terrace. There are other possibilities for customization so the owner can truly create the yacht of his/her dreams. There are plenty of open air spaces, seating arrangements and relaxation areas, such as the upper sun deck that includes sunning areas, a bar and a pool for guests to enjoy.

The wheelhouse deck has a large multifunctional room aft which opens onto a unique inside/outside gym and exercise terrace which could also be transformed into an owners library or a luxurious sunset bar. Included in her many features is the helicopter landing pad on the foredeck for easy transportation.

The owners stateroom is forward on the upper deck and is entirely private from the guest areas. This stateroom is magnificent and has some great features like the forward facing room with spectacular views, a private balcony/terrace forward with jacuzzi, His and Her bathrooms and an office for the all important work. The guest accommodation forward on the main deck includes a full beam VIP suite and 4 double cabins all of which are ensuite.

This is the perfect yacht for an owner who wants to buy at the construction stage but still has the power to fully create the yacht of his/her dreams.
