Turquoise Yachts
Istanbul-based custom builder that effectively started Turkey's superyacht sector and runs a two-yard model: hull work at Kocaeli, outfitting at Pendik. Since Omani owner MB Group took full control in 2023 it has moved into the 75–90m bracket, delivering the 88m Angelique in June 2026, and launched its first diesel-electric hybrid (76m N2H).
