Construction progresses on third unit in Ada Yacht Works' 50m superyacht series

19 September 2024 • Written by Dea Jusufi

Construction is well underway on the third unit in Ada Yacht Works’ 50-metre 50Z series, known as NB103. The hull has been technically launched following construction at Norse Shipyard in Kocaeli, Turkey. 

She will now be transported to Ada Yacht Works' facilities in Bodrum to continue outfitting. Delivery is scheduled for 2026.

Construction began in February 2024

The yacht is built in steel and aluminium, with Uldas Yacht Design responsible for exterior styling and naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects. Key specs include a nine-metre beam and a draft of 2.6 metres.

Interior details are undisclosed but are the work of Italian studio Luca Dini. Accommodation is across six cabins, including an owner's suite with a private balcony and a Jacuzzi. There are further quarters for 10 crew.

A beach club with plunge pool, sunloungers and unfolding hydraulic wings is the design highlight, though the foredeck swimming pool – complete with sunpads - is another major social hub.

Powered by twin MAN engines, NB103 will be able to reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

According to BOATPro, two other units in the series are under construction. The first 50Z is expected to be delivered in June 2025.
