Turkish studio Red Yacht Design has unveiled new images of the 40.8-metre custom superyacht Aisha built by Turkish builder Anadolu Shipyard, following her delivery to her owner in July 2026.
The studio designed her exterior and interior, while Notilus Engineering handled her naval architecture. Meanwhile, Turkish firm Eureka Yachts oversaw project management.
Built entirely in aluminium, the studio forwent traditional luxurious interior aesthetics. Instead, it used natural surfaces, soft textures and carefully selected materials to create a calm, contemporary atmosphere throughout. The result is a yacht that prioritises proportion, material quality, warmth and how individual spaces connect.
Aisha's owner outlined a brief for "substantial interior volume" so they could spend extended time onboard with family and friends. To achieve this, Red Yacht Design designed a new build with a raised pilothouse, a wide 9.1-metre beam and an open aft deck with unfolding bulwarks.
A 60-square-metre saloon lies in the heart of the main deck, with generous seating, a dining and games area and a dedicated bar. A distinctive opening between the saloon and galley creates a visual connection between the two spaces and reflects the owner's desire for the yacht to function as a relaxed family environment.
Aisha is also crowned by a 120-square-metre sundeck, featuring a dining table for 12 and a fully equipped bar-cum-barbecue and lounge area. A service lift also connects the galley to this deck. At the owner’s request, the designers extended the hardtop to keep most of the area shaded, while an open section provides space for guests to enjoy the sun.
Accommodation is provided for up to 10 guests, with the main deck dedicated in part to a full-beam master cabin, complete with an office and his-and-hers bathrooms.
The lower deck houses two double and two single cabins, the latter fitted with additional Pullman berths. The single cabins can also be converted into doubles if required. The yacht accommodates a crew of up to eight.
“With Aisha, we wanted every element to have a reason to be there," explained Cana Gökhan, co-founder and design director of Red Yacht Design.
"Luxury does not necessarily come from adding more materials or more decoration; sometimes it comes from knowing what to leave out. The owner wanted something warm, elegant and timeless, but also a yacht that the family could genuinely live in. That balance became the starting point for the entire interior.”
Aisha is expected to travel at a maximum speed of 19 knots thanks to twin MAN engines. At an economical cruising speed of 15 knots, the yacht’s range will be 1,500 nautical miles.
Red Yacht Design is also behind the 33.1-metre Bering 110 (B110), the first unit of Turkish yard Bering Yachts’s new explorer yacht model. The hull of the first yacht was turned in August, with delivery scheduled for 2027.
