Mengi Yay Yachts

Mengi Yay is one of the most long-established yacht building companies in Turkey and has performed excellent craftsmanship since 1964.

The shipyard was established by the honorable Mr. Ramazan Mengi in Ayvansaray as a small workshop. Mr. Muzaffer Yay became partner with Mr. Ramazan Mengi in 1985 and they combined their surnames, Mengi Yay, which is the shipyards name today.

The adventure began in Ayvansaray with 3 meters of boat construction, continued moving to Nuh Industrial Site Cooperative establishment in Tuzla in 1984. The company began constructions of steel boats in 2006 and today the shipyard is building mega yachts in their own yard hangars. The successes of Mengi Yay were confirmed in 2011, 2012 and 2015 with the Yacht and Boat Construction award of Gold Anchor Maritime Success Awards and İstanbul Exporters’ Union (İEU) Turkey Third awards.

As one of the leading yacht builders in Turkey, the shipyards facilities are located in Tuzla Shipyard Zone and consist of two hangars with 50 meters and 26 meters enable us to build two 45 meters boats at the same time and 100 meters and 26 meters dimensions convenient to build larger yacht sizes. In addition the administration, engineering and accountant departments are located on a 4 floors office building.

Additionally Mengi Yay operates a facility of 10 acres of land in Yalova where they complete the shell construction of our steel/aluminum yachts.

Mengi Yay works in harmony and flexibility with any designer or design studio its customer prefer to use in order for his/her project to become a reality.

The Dutch designer Jaron Ginton has his signature on many yacht designs built in Mengi Yay recent years. Mr. Ginton is behind the engineering and design of the 45m mega yacht “AQUARIUS” built by Mengi-Yay. Mr. Ginton is still one of the important designers who Mengi-Yay cooperates with for design and engineering.

Mengi Yay has recently together with the highly reputable Venetian Yacht Design in Italy, developed a 36, 42 and 48 m Mega Yacht design. All designs are very modern, excellent specifications, beautiful interior and are among the most “sexy” designs in their sizes.

For Mengi Yay, one of the most important principle, with regards to design, is a “feasible design”. For an initial process starting with lines only on a two dimensional plane and to complete and deliver a yacht as a result of a very close cooperation with the designer, interior architect and especially with the yacht owner, gives us a tremendous pleasure.

Mengi-Yay is able to offer the company’s in-house well experienced and highly productive design team for both turn-key design solutions and provide support to our customers nominated designers from around the world.

We can build customized, semi customized or deliver yachts to a very high shipyard standard concept designs.
