79m Turquoise motor yacht Project Toro on the move

11 October 2022 • Written by Holly Overton

The 79 metre Turquoise superyacht Project Toro has been seen for the first time on transport from Turquoise's facility in Kocaeli to its Pendik shipyard near Istanbul.

The steel and aluminium project will be the largest yacht launched by the Turkish shipyard when she hits the water next year and was sold by SuperYachtsMonaco in 2021. The shipyard will now complete the interior installation and outfitting as well as the topcoat paint application. 

Project Toro is the second largest build by Turquoise to date

The project marks the first collaboration between the shipyard and design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. According to Ben Harrison, of Harrison Eidsgaard Design, Project Toro features a "neo classical exterior with hints of a funnel rising from main deck to sun deck."

Other highlights include an 8.5 metre swimming pool and a semi-submerged Neptune lounge.

The interior layout, meanwhile, is designed for optimum guest comfort and service levels with a total of seven guest suites including an owner’s suite and six further guest staterooms as well as accommodation for 21 crew.

A representative of SuperYachtsMonaco said: “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 endeavour have exceptional credentials in their respective fields of expertise."

Other yachts currently under construction at the Turkish shipyard include the 53 metre Jewels, which was launched in September, as well as the 76 metre Project Arrow and the shipyard's largest project to date, the 87 metre Project Vento.
