The 79-metre Turquoise superyacht Project Toro has been seen for the first time following outfitting. She is currently moored in front of Turquoise Yachts' facility in Pendik, Istanbul with delivery expected for the end of summer.
The steel and aluminium project is the largest yacht launched by the Turkish shipyard to date and was sold by SuperYachtsMonaco in 2021. Exclusive imagery reveals a dual-tone exterior paint job and a beach club with side opening platforms.
She was last photographed in 2022 when her hull was transported from Turquoise's facility in Kocaeli to Pendik.
The project marks the first collaboration between the shipyard and design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. According to Ben Harrison, of Harrison Eidsgaard Design, Project Toro is characterised by her "neo classical exterior with hints of a funnel rising from main deck to sun deck". Other highlights include an 8.5-metre swimming pool and a semi-submerged Neptune lounge.
The interior layout, meanwhile, is designed for optimum guest comfort and service levels with a total of seven guest cabins including an owner’s suite as well as accommodation for 21 crew.
A representative of SuperYachtsMonaco said: "Project Toro is the culmination of a lengthy and studious process of research to find the right design team, Harrison Eidsgaard Design, and the right shipyard, Turquoise Yachts, to execute this project while incorporating all the client’s refined parameters. Both of our partners in this endeavour have exceptional credentials in their respective fields of expertise."
This follows the news that the 76.3-metre Project Arrow had been transferred to Pendik for interior installation and outfitting works. Project Arrow is Turquoise's first hybrid build and plans to "push boundaries" with its battery-powered hybrid propulsion system.
