The largest yacht ever built in Turkey

National build records move slowly, and until this spring the largest yacht built in Turkey was the 85 metre explorer Victorious, delivered by another yard in 2021 at 2,291 gross tonnes. Angelique passes her on both measures, with 87.7 metres of length and 2,646 gross tonnes of volume, and she does it as a pure owner's yacht. Turquoise launched her in January 2026 at Pendik, Istanbul, ran trials on the Sea of Marmara and handed her over in May.

The record is more than a headline for the yard. For a buyer weighing a Turkish build against northern Europe, Angelique removes the scale question entirely. She carries a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Lloyd's Register class and Cayman Islands flag, the same technical paperwork a Dutch or German delivery would show. The proof of capability now floats, and it is charter-visible in the Mediterranean, which does the due diligence for the next commissioning owner.

Twenty years of H2, distilled

Both the exterior and the interior come from H2 Yacht Design, the London studio founded by Jonny Horsfield, in a collaboration with Turquoise that press coverage puts at more than two decades. The hull wears a deep shade the yard's partners describe as Tour de France blue, an unmissable calling card in a fleet of white paint. The profile keeps the low, long balance H2 developed across the yard's recent flagships.

Inside, the studio evolved the refined Art Deco language it first built for the 77 metre GO, with polished stainless detailing, blue accents and a suspended glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly at the heart of the yacht. Twelve guests sleep in seven flexible cabins, and a crew of 27 runs the boat, better than two crew for every guest aboard. Flexibility was the brief: cabins convert, and the layout absorbs families as easily as a charter party.

Angelique moved the Turkish record on both length and volume in a single delivery.

A resort's worth of amenities

The headline feature list reads like a resort inventory. A 6.5 metre swimming pool with contra-flow current anchors the aft deck, backed by two jacuzzis and a full spa with hammam and sauna. The gym sits on the bridge deck behind panoramic glass, so a morning session comes with a horizon. For the evenings there are DJ facilities, an outdoor cinema and teppanyaki and barbecue grills for cooking in the open air.

The helipad doubles as a basketball court when no aircraft is due, and a golf simulator waits below for flat-calm days at anchor. This density of amenity is the practical dividend of 2,646 gross tonnes: volume is what an owner actually buys, and Angelique carries roughly 30 gross tonnes of it per metre of length. Few yachts under 90 metres offer this many distinct ways to spend the same afternoon.

The beach club and the waterline

Turquoise and H2 gave Angelique what the yard calls one of the largest beach clubs in her class, opening aft to the sea with fold-down terraces extending the platform over the water. The signature is drive-in tender docking: the limousine tender enters the hull directly, so guests board and disembark dry, in any dress, without a boarding ladder in sight.

Day to day that changes how the yacht is used. The waterline level becomes a genuine living deck, with the spa a level above and the pool above that, so the lower half of the yacht works as hard as the sundeck. For owners who anchor more than they cruise, which is most of the Mediterranean season, the beach club is the room that earns its keep.

Platform logic, custom outcome

Angelique is the second of five custom yachts derived from Turquoise's 80 metre platform, a series the yard's chief executive has confirmed publicly. Nympheas opened the series in 2025. The platform approach carries real value for a buyer: proven naval architecture, engineering already validated at sea and a shorter, lower-risk build, while the styling, layout and interior remain fully individual to each owner.

The machinery is conservative where it should be. Twin MTU 12V4000 M65L diesels of 2,574 horsepower each drive her to 17 knots, on a 13.2 metre beam and 3.9 metre draft that keep her inside most marina and shipyard limits. BOAT International lists her for charter through Edmiston at EUR 1,200,000 per week, which gives an owner a documented revenue option and keeps the yacht's profile, and value, in public view.

A chi si rivolge: The owner who wants Oceanco-adjacent scale and a record-holding flagship, with the attention that comes from being the most important build in the yard.

Prezzo indicativo: Build cost undisclosed. BOAT International reports charter through Edmiston at EUR 1,200,000 per week, a useful reference for her earning power.
