M/Y Rüya is a high volume tri-deck motor yacht built in composite to Lloyd Register with a Gross Tonnage of 499 GT. The owner’s “dream” was one of simplicity, calling for a functional and timeless design that would allow the family to use their yacht anywhere in the world.

“We are able to offer projects in all materials: steel, aluminium and GRP,” says Gokhan Celik, president of the shipyard. “We have particularly specialised core composites in-house team. Her owner chose to capitalise on that long experience and specify GRP construction because he wanted ultimate durability.”

Australian designer Sam Sorgiovanni achieved this by creating a stylish and well-proportioned exterior while keeping areas fresh and open to be enjoyed through a variety of uses.

Once on board it is hard to believe that Rüya is in fact under the 42 metre mark. A fabulous 93-square-metre sundeck is space often found only on 50 metre plus vessels, with a 10 person Jacuzzi, full bar and large family dining area rounding off the pleasantries found on the top-most deck.
