Fraser and Moravia Sign to Sell RMK's New Livia Series

Two Western Brokerages Take On a Turkish Yard's New Series

RMK Yachts confirmed on 7 August that Fraser Yachts and Moravia Yachting will act as joint central agents for its Livia series, the 50 and 72 metre semi-custom platform the Istanbul-area yard unveiled at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show. Fraser's Sotiris Konstantakis and Moravia's Robert Lander are the named brokers on the mandate. Neither firm is new to representing yachts still on the drawing board, but a joint appointment, rather than handing the series to one house or running sales in-house, is the less common route and the one that signals the most caution about spreading risk.

Cuneyt Okcu, RMK's director, framed the choice around fit rather than reach alone: "Fraser and Moravia immediately understood the philosophy behind Livia. They recognised this is not simply another 50-metre motor yacht, but part of a long-term vision to create product families that offer genuinely different lifestyles and experiences." Konstantakis, for Fraser, called the mandate one the house was "proud to have been entrusted with," adding that the series "combines quality, elegance, and responsibility." For an owner, the substance behind the language is simple: RMK is buying two established international sales networks and their client lists rather than building its own from a standing start.

What the Livia 50 and Livia 72 Actually Offer

The Livia 50 runs 52 metres (170'6") overall despite its model name, at just under 500 GT, and is pitched as the approachable end of the family: an asymmetrically laid-out beach club with the pool set to one side rather than centred, and the same design language as the flagship carried through in a smaller envelope. The Livia 72 is the series flagship proper, 72 metres and 1,700 GT with twelve guest suites, a bow garage integrating tender and water-toy stowage with a helideck above it, and a beach club at the stern with fold-out terraces on both sides rather than the single-side layout more common at this size. A dedicated spa and wellness deck is standard on the 72, not an options-list add-on.

Both models share a hybrid propulsion system, energy-efficient HVAC and lighting, and a stated preference for responsibly sourced materials in lighter tones and organic textures throughout the interior. The series was developed with Red Yacht Design, the London-based studio, building on a 68 metre concept RMK had released roughly a year earlier. That lineage matters for a buyer: the Livia pair is not a first attempt at this size bracket but a refinement of a design the yard had already tested with clients before committing to the current two-model range.

RMK's Build Book Says This Is Not a Paper Yard

RMK Marine operates from Tuzla, on Istanbul's Asian shore, and builds commercial vessels alongside yachts up to 130 metres, which puts the Livia series inside the yard's established size range rather than at its ceiling. The yard's current book includes the 65 metre explorer project ER65, under construction, and the 49.9 metre Aries, completed and delivered in 2026 with accommodation for 12 guests across six suites, twin CAT engines and a 5,000 nautical mile range - a working reference for what an RMK hull actually delivers, not a rendering.

Aries is also the useful cautionary note. She was still under construction in October 2023, when she changed central agency to Ocean Independence and Eric Trupheme, and was not delivered until 2026 - a multi-year gap between that agency change and handover that an owner signing early on Livia should read as a realistic guide to how build timelines and representation can shift on an RMK project between contract and keys, not as a criticism unique to this yard but as the kind of pattern semi-custom buyers everywhere should expect to ask about directly.

The Delivery Clock and the Numbers Nobody Has Published Yet

RMK has stated a 24 month delivery window from contract for the Livia 50 and 36 months for the Livia 72. Neither RMK, Fraser nor Moravia has published a price for either model, and none of the coverage of the brokerage appointment includes one. For comparison, and only as a general market reference rather than a Livia price, RMK's similarly sized 50 metre Aries carried a publicly listed asking price of roughly EUR 31.5 million while still under construction in 2023 - a different design on a different hull, but the closest public data point this yard has produced at this length.

That silence on price is the single biggest gap in what a prospective buyer can currently establish about the Livia series. A Western European yard offering a comparable 50 or 72 metre semi-custom slot - a Benetti, a CRN, a Sanlorenzo - typically comes with a longer public sales history and a clearer sense of where pricing lands relative to the specification. RMK is asking a buyer to weigh Red Yacht Design's brief, the yard's now-proven ability to deliver a 50 metre hull, and two respected brokerages' willingness to put their names on the mandate, against a build slot whose cost is not yet public anywhere.

A Third Livia Platform Is Coming to Monaco Next Month

RMK is not stopping at two models. The yard is also developing a Petra series aimed at expedition cruising with Polar Class capability, designed with Hot Lab, and has said a third Livia-family platform will debut at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show, running 23 to 26 September, with three further 70 metre concepts planned for 2027. That is an aggressive pace of new-model releases for a yard that has one 50 metre hull actually delivered to date.

For an owner not ready to sign now, Monaco is the next real checkpoint rather than this brokerage appointment. It will be the first time buyers can stand on a physical Livia-family presentation, compare it against Aries as the yard's one completed reference hull, and press Fraser or Moravia directly on price - the question this announcement leaves open. No independent owner or charter guest account of any RMK-built yacht has been published anywhere the desk could verify, since Aries was delivered too recently and her ownership has not been disclosed; anyone weighing a Livia contract is, for now, relying entirely on the yard's and the brokers' own account of the product.
