Mishi Yachts is the name of the offshoot of the Yonca shipyard, which has made a name for itself with patrol boats. Now the Turkish shipyard wants to extend its 38 years of experience in composite construction to high-quality sailing yachts. After the 88 now comes the 102

"We have already delivered fast, seaworthy vehicles for various naval forces," reports Yonca Chairman Sakir Yulmaztürk, "it made sense to use this expertise to build my sailing yacht." His prototype, the Mishi 88, made such an impression at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 that the shipyard on the outskirts of Istanbul plucked up the courage for further models and quickly put a 102-footer on the drawing board. This is now set to continue the still very fresh tradition of safe and comfortable family superyachts.

Mishi superyacht offers space for eight guests

The Turkish brand is still keeping details about the 102-footer under wraps, but promises "motor yacht comfort". With a length of more than 31 metres, the 102 is in a different league to its little sister and fulfils the RINA classification. Eight guests and four crew members will be accommodated on board the sailing superyacht. In the standard configuration, the master suite is located in the bow, with further cabins with variably positionable beds located behind the saloon with open galley. The tender is parked in the stern and the crew sleeps in the forepeak. Yonca has announced that the Mishi 102 project will be officially unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2024.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
