The history of Dunya Yachts goes back to 1983 when the Ursa Shipyard was constructed in Tuzla, Istanbul to specialize in maintenance and repair of small and medium sized yachts. To offer a fleet of bulk chemical tankers, in 1985 the Dünya Denizcilik company was established together with Ganship Limited of London. 2006 saw the union of the two companies under the ownership and direction of highly regarded businessmen Suay Umut and Sedat Ergun. The Dunya Yatçilik super yacht facility was born. A large investment programme that followed, helped the Ursa shipyard become an advanced technology facility, dedicated to the construction and refit of the world’s finest motor yachts.
