CCN YACHTING, in cooperation with the Turkish shipyard AES YACHT unveils their latest sold project; M/Y “Day’s”. A full custom 68m superyacht, part of the all new explorer vessel range, from ICE YACHTS.

The delivery of this unit is expected in the first half of 2018. The yacht is currently under construction at AES YACHT shipyard.

CCN YACHTS is a part of CCN INVESTMENT HOLDING www.ccnholding.com. CCN YACHTS decided to built M/Y “Day’s”, 68m, as the first unit of ICE YACHTS which ranges between 65 and 75m, in collaboration with AES YACHT shipyard www.aesyacht.com.

The joint venture works together with the internationally awarded Italian design studio, HOT LAB YACHT & DESIGN for the interior and exterior design in order to create a brand new project for a private client. The truly experienced Turkish company ENDAZE MARINE ENGINEERING has been named for the naval architecture of the vessel.

The project management for the client’s side is carried out by Mr. Jacques Potgieter and Mr. Iain Flockhart. With their extensive sea going and operational management experience in the industry, their input is vital to ensure that the vessel is being built to an acceptable “industry standard” and that it would be functional, safe and cost effective to operate and maintain. This was made easy by them being involved in the preliminary stages of the project more than 6 months before any steel was cut.

CCN YACHTS and the Client, appointed BURGESS as central agency for brokerage. Burgess is responsible for marketing and the sale of the project M/Y “Day’s” and future projects which include another, soon to be unveiled, explorer yacht of a size between 70 and 75m.
