RMK Marine releases new Livia yacht series with 72m flagship

Turkish yard RMK Marine and London-based studio Red Yacht Design have announced a new superyacht series at this year's Monaco Yacht Show. Named Livia, the collection is based on a 68-metre concept released last year and is composed of two models: the flagship Livia 72 and the Livia 50.

"With [this series], our goal is to offer yachts that are not only refined and versatile, but also aligned with the future of luxury,” said Cuneyt Okcu, director of RMK Marine, who also noted that the Livia 72, in particular, would be an "extraordinary platform for charter".

A volume of 1,700GT houses several charter-friendly features, including an impressive 12 guest cabins and a dedicated spa and wellness sanctuary. At the bow, an integrated tender and toys garage is paired with a fully equipped helideck, while the aft features a beach club with fold-out terraces on both sides.

Alternatively, the Livia 50 is designed as a sub-500GT superyacht, where an efficient layout includes several of the Livia 72's standout features in a "more approachable package". Both models also endeavour to be eco-friendly, with hybrid propulsion and energy-efficient HVAC and lighting systems set alongside responsibly sourced materials, lighter tones and organic textures.

Construction slots are being finalised, with delivery schedules projected at 24 months for the Livia 50 and 36 months for the Livia 72. 

According to BOATPro, RMK Marine has two superyacht projects currently under construction: a 65-metre explorer yacht and the 49.9-metre Aries.
