A new yacht brand has been launched in collaboration with London-based studio Red Yacht Design. Known as Manari Yachts, the company (led by founder and CEO Albert Franko) will debut with a Mediterranean dayboat model before expanding into the 24-metre-plus sector.
"With Manari, we are not just designing yachts – we are shaping a brand that represents freedom, performance, and lifestyle," said Fatih Sürekli, managing director of Red Yacht Design. "The 52 is only the beginning of a series that will inspire a new generation of yacht lovers."
The yard's debut model is the Manari 52, which has been designed with "rare features" for its 15.8-metre LOA. This includes an open-sided balcony and swim platform, combined with a fuel-efficient hull form by Mulder Design for a "refined balance between performance and comfort". The yacht will also be capable of a 47-knot top speed, powered by twin Volvo IPS drives.
The company is headquartered in Miami Beach, with a strong presence in Saint Tropez, Palma and Hong Kong.
