On the 6th of October Turquoise Yachts' floating dock, with a 2500 ton lifting capacity, transferred 79m project TORO from their Kocaeli facility to their Pendik shipyard.

Turquoise Yachts' new build, 79m TORO, is moved to the Pendik yard for completion of interior installation and outfitting as well as the topcoat paint application. This exciting new yacht, with exterior and interior design by Harrison Eidsgaard, is planned for launch in 2023.

"We are delighted that our first collaboration with Turquoise yachts is the full custom 79m Project Toro. She features a neo classical exterior with hints of a funnel rising from main deck to sun deck. The interior is the definition of serenity and calm, featuring a huge Neptune lunge, and many other stunning features" states Ben Harrison from Harrison Eidsgaard Design.

The outstanding Project TORO with its sleek lines and unique features will be the largest yacht launched after 77m GO and the negotiations and sale had been successfully completed through SuperYachtsMonaco.

The team at SuperYachtsMonaco has stated "Project Toro is the culmination of a lengthy and studious process of research to find the right design team, Harrison Eidsgaard Design, and the right shipyard, Turquoise Yachts, to execute this project while incorporating all the client's refined parameters. Both of our partners in this endeavor have exceptional credentials in their respective fields of expertise".

The client has entrusted ACP Surveyors as technical representative.

Few weeks away from delivering 53m Jewels, Turquoise has in total 6 projects under construction including 87m Vento and 76m Arrow.
