"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.
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.
