Turkish builder Mazu Yachts has released the first interior renderings of its 34.2 metre 112 DS model. The design is the second in the shipyard's displacement series and will be the larger sibling of the 92DS, the first hull of which is currently under construction and due for delivery in 2023.
Istanbul-based Mazu Yachts is known for its composite planing dayboats and the DS series marks the shipyard's entry into steel construction. Turkish studio Red Yacht Design was called in to create the exterior and interior of the 112 DS after working on the smaller model.
In order to keep the yacht's weight as low as possible, the yacht will have a steel hull and composite superstructure. Much like its smaller sibling, the profile of the Mazu 112 DS features a raised pilothouse and a vertical bow. The walk-around section of the superstructure will house the main saloon, which will be illuminated by full-height windows.
The main saloon leads to a generous aft deck lounge, which connects to a swim platform with folding bulwarks and sliding glass transom doors providing access to a beach club area.
The yacht is crowned by an 115 square metre flybridge deck with a dining table for 12 people, lounge seats and an elegant bar. Meanwhile, there is an alternative open-air lounge area on the foredeck, culminating in a combined exterior area of 225 square metres.
Mazu Yachts and Red Yacht Design started work on the 112DS at the beginning of 2022 and is scheduled to go into production in 2023. Red Yacht Design co-founder, Fatih Surekli, said: "While maintaining all the characteristic and aesthetic features of the series, we used all the layout advantages that IPS provided us by using four IPS 1050 Volvo machines in this project and we did not compromise on performance."
It comes at a busy time for the yard, with the launch date of the first 92DS hull fast approaching. The second unit of this series is also under construction and will hit the water in the summer of 2024. Mazu Yachts has recently started initial work on the third hull of the series on speculation and plans to complete this hull within the next month.
