Taka Yacht Design’s CMY36 motoryacht under construction at Su Marine

The 36 metre motoryacht CMY36, latest design by Turkish studio Taka Yacht Design, is currently being built by Su Marine shipyard at their facility in Turkey.
Taka is an Istanbul-based company set up by two local naval architects, with a multidisciplinary team composed of an additional architect, an industrial designer, a technical drafts person and boat builders. Taka Yacht Design is used to designing a wide range of vessels, using a wide range of materials which include wood-epoxy, composites, steel, and aluminum.
Su Marine is a deluxe yacht building business founded in 2007 by Ahmet Kesgin, Ronald Grünberg, Timothy Grünberg and Göksen Körezlioğlu. Su Marine has an experience dating back to more than 40 years: Ahmet Kesgin comes from a family with long tradition in yacht building trade and the Kesgin brothers are known for building some of Turkey’s most elegant boats as well as the country’s first composite boat. The first yacht of Su Marine’s Roxane was one of the Finalists of the 2011 World Superyacht Awards.
From her renderings, the vessel looks like a classic vintage cruiser: nonetheless, she has been developed with all the latest technology and features usually found on state-of-the-art superyachts. Her hull will be constructed with a steel hull and wood-epoxy superstructure.
The construction has been scheduled into four different workshops working in tandem to complete the project by the expected delivery date, in the summer of 2017. A dedicated stainless steel workshop on site has already started preparing the fittings to be installed on the yacht.
At another facility belonging to Su Marine, the interior is already being assembled and is said to be at an advanced stage, with crew area and cabins almost completed.
