In early march 2011 the 60.2 metre luxury motor yacht ‘YOGI’ (hull NB49) was completed and ready for launch by Proteksan-Turquoise. The Yogi yacht is the second successful yacht launch by the Turkish shipyard superyacht builder so far this year in 2011. The designer of the yacht was Jean Guy Verges, with input by the Proteksan-Turquoise in-house design team and owner.

Jean Guy Verges designed the Superyacht Yogi exterior lines and shape and he also designed the yacht’s interior. The yacht’s light grey hull is steel and her near white superstructure has been built from aluminium.
Yacht Yogi has expedition/explorer yacht feel and she was built and designed for oceangoing cruising vessel. The luxury yacht has a high, broad and powerful looking bow, in keeping with the explorer yacht tradition. She also has unusually spacious aft and external deck areas. This can be particularly said of her main aft deck platform, which accommodates a generous outside pool and peripheral entertainment area.
This heated swimming pool is very interesting in that it features a glass bottom in the design which throws light down to the boats beach club zone, as situated below the pool. The innovative beach club, with massage room, flows to the outside and onto the main swimming bathing platform to aft, as well as accessing a side balcony. The main tender garage is also situated in the aft.
An ideal yacht for charter or private use, her exterior entertainment and relaxation features include a sun deck spa pool pool, with sun mats, a Teppanyaki bar and relaxation area, amongst other amenities.
Superyacht Yogi’s Jean Guy Verges designed interior guest accommodation is also spacious, with a certain intimacy created with some asian styling influences. The yacht accommodates the maximum 12 guests in six staterooms, in a five double and one 1 twin layout (all with ensuite), giving her plenty of room for charter or private owner use. Yacht Yogi’s master suite area includes the master bedroom, his & hers bathrooms, a private owner lounge and day area, along with an office and dressing room. Both the yacht’s master suite and her VIP stateroom are situated up on the main deck and the four extra double cabins are positioned below on her lower deck.
The bow area is well utilised for the stowing of some tenders and water toys, thereby alleviating some space for the aft deck areas, which are very important for sheltered entertainment and access to the water. Also, Yogi’s bow area just in front of the bridge gives way to seating where lucky guests can witness ocean vistas pass by.
Superyacht Yogi is ABS classed (as complying with MCA) and she has a top speed of 16 knots and a cruise speed of 13 knots. The propulsion is produced by her twin Caterpillar 1,911hp 3512B diesel engines. A range of 5,000 nautical miles can be achieved at 12 knots.
Yogi will be available for luxury Mediterranean yacht charters at a rate from between €357,000 per week in the low season and up to €378,000 per week during the high season plus expenses, MYBA terms. Please contact us for more.
