Turkish builder Sarp Yachts has completed the hull and superstructure on its 62-metre Project Nacre, which is under construction in Antalya, Turkey. The superyacht is listed with Alex Clarke at Denison Yachting and is awaiting a client before outfitting can be completed.
Construction began on speculation in 2018 but was paused after the business was restructured when the matriarch of the family that owned the shipyard passed away. The shipyard has since resumed construction on multiple projects, including its flagship, Project Nacre. Sarp Yachts estimates delivery in "roughly" 24 months from signing the contract, with all major machinery to be ordered once contracts are finalised.
The project is built in steel and aluminium to a design by Milanese studio Hot Lab with an interior volume totalling 1,150GT. She was first unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2017 and is based on a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by Van Oossanen Naval Architects.
Accommodation is for up to 12 guests split across six cabins, including a full-beam owner's suite and a double VIP cabin on the main deck. This area can be isolated to provide an owner’s apartment – ideal for the immediate family.
Below deck, two further full-beam cabins boost Project Nacre's charter appeal, while two twin cabins complete the guest accommodation. Meanwhile, six crew cabins and a bridge deck captain’s cabin allow for a staff of up to 13 people.
Sarp Yachts has allowed plenty of scope for customisation – for example, the skylounge could be arranged as a home cinema or as a highly sociable conversation space with four L-shaped sofas facing inwards. Whichever option is selected, the private side decks will be easily accessible through sliding glass doors.
Al fresco relaxation options are plentiful. The superyacht sundeck benefits from elevator access, a rectangular spa pool, day head, shaded bar area and an outdoor shower area, while the split foredeck includes a larger spa pool, and the beach club boasts a gym and sliding glass doors in the transom.
"Having been on board multiple times, Project Nacre represents an absolutely gorgeous project that can be delivered to a client within half the typical built time required for a custom 60-metre," said Alex Clarke. "The engineering and styling behind the project will set her apart in the ever-competitive 60-metre segment of the market, so we are excited to attract a buyer and see this project through to the end and delivery."
Power will come from a pair of 1,500hp engines, supplied by either Caterpillar or MTU, for a top speed of 17 knots. When trimmed back to 12 knots, Project Nacre will boast a transatlantic cruising range of 6,500 nautical miles.
Project Nacre is asking €45,000,000.
