Yacht & Superyacht Design in Turkey
Turkey is both a cruising paradise and a major yacht-building nation, with the yards of Bodrum and Antalya and the turquoise coast beyond. For Turkish owners and builders, DRAFTXL designs the artistic exterior and interior of bespoke yachts — from classic gulet-inspired lines to bold modern superyachts. For every project we bring in the naval architects and engineers needed to realise the design.
Exterior Yacht Design for Turkish Owners & Shipyards
ONE OF THE WORLD'S YACHT-BUILDING CAPITALS
Turkey is one of the world's great superyacht-building nations — home to renowned yards such as Bilgin, Turquoise, Sirena and Sunrise, and to the timeless craft of Bodrum's gulet builders. Every DRAFTXL project begins with your vision and original hand-drawn sketches that give the yacht real soul and character.
From the Turquoise Coast and the Aegean to the marinas of Bodrum, Göcek and Marmaris, we design exteriors with their home waters in mind — sleek, confident lines that turn heads from D-Marin Göcek to the Bosphorus.

FROM SKETCH TO 3D MODEL
Once the concept is approved, we shape the first three-dimensional hull, focusing on ergonomics, flow and life under the Mediterranean and Aegean sun. Unique lines and volumes define the character that runs through every detail.
A preliminary 3D model of each deck lets you experience shaded decks, beach clubs and al-fresco living long before the build — and gives Turkey's world-class yards a clear, build-ready vision to quote and construct.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & TURKISH BUILD QUALITY
Turkey blends exceptional craftsmanship with competitive build capability, and we curate materials, shapes, textures and finishes so the yacht feels like a natural extension of your taste.
From hand-finished joinery to bespoke metalwork, we specify details that match the standards of the country's leading shipyards — refined, durable and built for years of cruising the Turkish coast and beyond.

VISUALIZATIONS THAT SELL THE VISION
The soul of a design is best captured in striking visualizations — lighting, reflections and materials rendered so you can see exactly how the yacht will look against the turquoise of the Aegean.
These renders and sketches are invaluable when presenting a concept to a Turkish shipyard or unveiling it on the docks of Bodrum, Göcek or at the Istanbul boat shows.

Yacht & Superyacht Interior Design
INTERIORS FOR THE TURKISH COAST
Yacht interior design for a Turkish or Mediterranean owner starts with how you want to live aboard — long summers along the Turquoise Coast, entertaining at anchor off Bodrum. We merge your expectations with refined aesthetics into sketches and a mood board of luxury materials and bespoke furnishings.
From this emerges a distinctive interior concept — warm, tactile and effortlessly elegant — that feels like home the moment you step aboard.

FROM CONCEPT TO ADVANCED INTERIOR DESIGN
With the concept approved, we develop the three-dimensional interior layout, balancing ergonomics, usability and atmosphere with the standards Mediterranean owners expect.
Custom furnishings, surface transitions and lighting are crafted into a cohesive space, developed to a build-ready standard for the Turkish yard of your choice.

DETAILS & PERSONALISATION
At this stage craftsmanship matters most. We refine fabric textures, furniture shapes, lighting, colours and surfaces until every detail feels harmonious and welcoming.
The result is a refined retreat on the water — an interior tailored to your taste and to the relaxed luxury of the Turkish Riviera.
