The 79-metre Turquoise superyacht, previously known as Project Toro, has been delivered and named Nympheas. According to BOATPro, she has departed the shipyard's facilities in Pendik, Turkey and is now en route to Dürres in Albania.
The steel and aluminium project is the largest yacht built by the Turkish shipyard to date and was sold by SuperYachtsMonaco in 2021. Exclusive imagery at the time of her launch 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 for outfitting works.
The project marks the first collaboration between the shipyard and British 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 sundeck". 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.
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.
