TURQUOISE RECENTLY DELIVERED 88M FLAGSHIP ANGELIQUE
The largest yacht ever built in Turkey is a showcase of capability and craftsmanship. Turquoise Yachts announced last week the delivery of the 88m (288ft) Angelique, formerly known as NB74 Project Vento. Delivered from the shipyard’s facilities in Pendik, Istanbul, the flagship is the largest yacht built in Turkey to date, marking a milestone for Turquoise’s growing prominence in the 70m-plus sector.

“It is still difficult to fully grasp the sheer scale of the achievement of our team and valued solution partners,” says Burak Akgül, CEO of Turquoise Yachts. “As the second and largest of five custom yachts derived from our 80-metre platform, Angelique unequivocally marks a new standard of our ability.”
The latest chapter in a longstanding partnership with H2 Yacht Design, Angelique features both exterior and interior design by the studio. “I have worked with Turquoise for over 20 years, and the experience has always been one of cooperation and mutual respect,” says Jonny Horsfield, founder of H2 Yacht Design. “Over that time, I have seen Turquoise evolve and grow into a truly world-class operation, and Angelique is a credit to the yard and its determination to continually improve and learn.”
Local craftsmanship played a key role in bringing the interior to life, with Turquoise collaborating closely with longstanding partner Ulutas. Among the many standout details is the polished stainless steel detailing throughout, all of which was produced locally.
“It is the finest I have ever seen from any shipyard,” adds Horsfield. “The quality of the lacquer work is also world-class. Both are exceptionally difficult elements to execute well, yet Ulutas and Turquoise have achieved a truly exceptional finish. Their quality and attention to detail are second to none, and it is always a pleasure to collaborate with them.”
Owner’s representation during the build was provided by Occam Marine, who praised the smooth build process. “The project was exceptionally well planned and supported,” says Giles Frankal, Co-Founder of Occam Marine. “The finished yacht is a true reflection of the quality, craftsmanship and design vision delivered by all involved. We are incredibly proud to have contributed to the largest yacht delivered by Turquoise to date.”
