Why should you build a yacht in Turkey?

Did you know that Turkey is in the TOP 3 of the largest yacht manufacturers in the world? In 2020, this country built ships worth $ 1.4 billion - and this is the largest branch of the Turkish economy exported.

And this is not surprising. The first large shipyards appeared here during the time of the Byzantine Empire. And residents built traditional ships thousands of years before that. Then the mighty Ottoman Empire made its shipyards the largest in the world. And at the end of the 20th century, this industry received a new stimulus for development. And it is still developing rapidly.

The government support played a significant role for Turkey to become a leading country in the construction of cruise liners, purpose defence ships and commercial use liners. It is also the reason why Turkey occupies a leading position in steel yachts builders, aluminium yacht construction, luxury sailing yachts and wooden gulets construction, long-range explorer yacht construction, including premium and “mega-yachts” construction in Turkey with more new yachts under construction to come out in 2022-2023.

QUALITY AND COST EFFECTIVE YACHT CONSTRUCTION

The first factor that makes building a yacht in Turkey is the low labor cost compared to Europe. It was the reason why many shipbuilders began to transfer their production to this country.
The second important factor is government support. Yacht manufacturers do not pay internal taxes (duty-free) because all their products are going for export. It alone makes the cost of building a custom yacht 20% lower than in the EU.
The third factor is the same high level of quality as that of European shipbuilders. Many professional designers, engineers, and yacht builders have been working in Turkey for a long time. Moreover, it is a common practice when a design project and you order the whole engineering part from leading European companies, and the construction itself is in Turkey, which allows significant savings.
There is another great opportunity - you can order the construction of a Turkish wooden gulet. These are traditional wooden yachts: a classic on the outside and modern on the inside. The new design of Turkish gulet combines the unique quality of woodwork, the highest level of comfort, and the latest shipbuilding technology.
