The largest yacht built by Turquoise Yachts to date, the 87-metre (285ft) NB74 Project Vento, which the yard has just announced is now named M/Y Angelique, has been launched from the shipyard’s outfitting facilities in Pendik, Istanbul. The new flagship marks the latest chapter in a longstanding collaboration between Turquoise and H2 Yacht Design, which spans 12 projects over 17 years, with H2 responsible for both the exterior and interior design. 

“Crowning more than 30 years of heritage, Vento is a remarkable achievement,” says Burak Akgül, CEO of Turquoise Yachts. “As the largest yacht ever built in Turkey, Vento reflects the collective expertise, dedication and passion applied to designing, engineering and crafting yachts at Turquoise. It is a testament to the extraordinary efforts of our team and valued solution partners, to whom we extend our sincere thanks.”

With a volume of 2,550gt, Vento’s five decks top what Turquoise describes as a distinctive ‘Tour de France’ blue-inspired steel hull, along with angled grilles and aft louvre detailing.

The yacht’s design includes an enclosed, drive-in tender dock leading to a large beach club with skylights, and a glass-sided pool on the main deck. The owner’s deck aft has a bar and dining area that can be enclosed via sliding glass doors, plus a private terrace featuring a jacuzzi. There is a lounge on the bridge deck aft as well as a seating area providing a recreational space for crew. An outdoor cinema, a large bar and an outdoor kitchen is found on the sundeck along with a jacuzzi and TV.

The interior of Vento was initially inspired by another collaboration between Turquoise and H2 that the client saw and loved: the 77m Go. “Taking cues from Go, Vento features a rich, Art Deco-inspired interior that we’ve taken to another level,” says Jonny Horsfield, founder of H2 Yacht Design. “We identified what the client was drawn to and evolved those ideas into something tailored to their tastes and how they live on board.”

With blue accents throughout the interior, guest accommodation includes two VIP cabins and four guest cabins located on the main deck. The owner’s suite has glass sliding doors that open directly onto the private terrace with jacuzzi. The bridge deck houses a large gym which connects to a wellness suite comprising sauna, hammam and beauty treatment room, while an open stair atrium connects all decks.

Vento is the result of close cooperation between Turquoise Yachts, H2 Yacht Design and the owner’s team, with owner’s representation provided by Occam Marine. “The collaboration with Turquoise has been defined by transparency, shared commitment to excellence, and a genuine spirit of partnership,” comments Giles Frankal, Co-Founder of Occam Marine. “Vento is set to be a striking testament to what can be achieved when shipyard and owner’s team work in true harmony.”
