Brand new 50m yacht
RMK Marine and the Milan-based studio of design Hot Lab are pleased to announce that they have begun the development of a brand-new 50m yacht. The project, named Aries, references the zodiac sign and constellation that recalls in its Turkish translation ('Koç') the industrial and services group to which the shipyard belongs: the Koç Holding. The concept stems from the desire to return to the construction of an explorer yacht, following the experience of a few promising, but smaller specimens built over past years by RMK Marine. The new yacht, the keel of which was laid earlier this year, will be larger in size, with a more captivating design and loading capacity capable of meeting all the requirements of the most demanding owner.
