Sunrise Yachts

Antalya Free Zone yard set up by a Franco-Scottish and German founder pair to build Northern-European-style motor yachts with Turkish labour. It built Espen Øino-designed 45m and 63m yachts, the last known being North Star in 2019. No new projects have been reported since, and its web domain now shows as for sale.
