Turkish builder Mazu Yachts has revealed interiors of its first 24.5-metre Mazu 82 unit, designed by Istanbul-based studio Tanju Özelgin. Built for a Turkish owner, the first Mazu 82 will be trademarked with the brand’s recognisable expansive open decks and three state rooms designed by Tanju Özelgin.
Customary design was a key piece of the sale of the Mazu 82. With large hullside windows and triple Volvo Penta IPS power, the yacht will make the most of Mazu’s carbon composite sandwich construction.
The 24.5-metre yacht is the largest one yet built by Mazu, following successful introductions of 38-, 42-, and 52-foot yachts, all designed by the yard’s founder Halit Yukay. This is the first Mazu developed by a dedicated interior designer to optimise the yacht’s on-board spaces, bringing them a special sensibility.
The Mazu 82 combines clean profile lines with expansive decks, hallmarks of the Mazu line. Özelgin worked with Mazu’s generous volume and large hullside windows to continue the vibe to the amidships, full-beam master, which will combine subtle textures, muted colours, and both direct and indirect light to create a relaxing space to solitude for the owners. A master VIP-cabine will have an elegant en-suite facilities, and big wardrobe easily for extend times aboard. Two additional staterooms will round out the guest accommodations.
Özelgin says:
The main challenge of designing yacht interiors is that the space mostly never stands still and is constantly surrounded by water. This aspect will direct your decisions of which materials to use, the weight and scale of every piece of furniture, and whether or not the furniture is anchored to the decks or otherwise built in: safety also plays a very important role in these decisions.
Such factors rarely have an impact on the design of homes and hotels, yet Özelgin approached them with his creative method, resulting in relaxing and elegant ambience, a soothing combination of warm light and inviting textures that enhances time spent on board.
In contrast to many yacht interiors constantly reminding owner and guests that they are spending time at sea, Mazu 82 design concept seeks to optimise the sea experience on-board. In this design, the presence of the sea and the movement it imparts to the boat carry that vibe throughout the onboard experience. Özelgin explains:
The space has to be as compact and light as possible without losing the illusion of feeling at home or in a nice hotel. This was one of our key aspects during the design phase of the yacht: to create a space which won’t let you feel as on a yacht but more as if you were in your own house with all the familiarity and comfort which comes with it.
The yacht is powered by triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system (1350 –1.000hp x3), which is expected to offer excellent performance maximum speed of 40 knots and cruising efficiency at 35 knots as well as easy handling and maneuverability around the docks.
Representing the builder’s current flagship, Mazu 82 will be delivered in summer 2019.

After a growth period of 20-30 meters and megayachts, which is even closer to the recession, there was a short period for high demand for medium-sized superyachts.The market for 40-60 meter yachts, the last of which began to grow before the recession began, has also recently begun to gain momentum, as owners are looking for yachts in order to switch to them with growing disposable incomes. Indeed, if several years earlier it was expected that yachts in this range would be traded at 30-40% at the asking price, this gap narrowed to 25-30% in recent quarters.Shipyards, primarily known for their 20-30-meter yachts, are also expanding their ranges to 40-60 meters in order to keep customers who want to grow in size. For example, Sanlorenzo, which for decades focused on 20-30-meter yachts, put at the beginning of this year its newest flagship - the 64-meter Attila.Atilla is a 64.25m luxury yacht, built by Sanlorenzo and delivered in 2019. Her top speed is 18.0kn and her power comes from two 2375.0hp Caterpillar 3516-C diesel engines. She can accommodate up to 12 people with 18 crew members.Yacht was designed by Officina Italiana Design, and the interior design was created by Francesco Paszkowski.

The Magnum 60 Furia was launched in 2001, designed by Magnum Marine and Ceo Catherine Theodoli. They say that this is the most successful of the Magnum models.Back in 2001, the 120-kilometer 60 Furia Magnum was named the fastest yacht of this size in the world and after extensive repairs at the Perini Navi Hammer shipyard reached higher speeds.Changes include new air intakes in the engine compartment along with a customizable display on the control panel.The new Magnum 60 concept is attractive to the original design, but much more pleasing to the eye, with distinctive details throughout the American style of the 50s. The owner’s room has individual storage solutions on either side of the room to ensure clean space.Marnix Hoekstra from Vripak says that they kept the overall layout and tuning of the boat, but improved it where it was possible, for example, expanding the companion from the saloon in the middle to the double and twin cabins. They also added daylight, and in the interior they used the same tree that was used in the construction of the boat, painting it in matt white.
