Port Denia Shipyard has recently welcomed luxury yacht TURQUOISE, in order to bring her in tip top condition for her next superyacht charter season, boasting a brand new look and feel. Originally launched by Turquoise Yachts in 2011, the outstanding 55m motor yacht TURQUOISE will undergo her latest transformation and maintenance works, before heading back down to the fantastic Antigua yacht holiday location in the Caribbean at the beginning of December, just in time for the Christmas and New Year period. She is a perfect example of why Port Denia is an ideal, logistical location for superyachts to stop off on their way down to the Caribbean, either for the marina moorings and/or shipyard work.

Luxury superyacht TURQUOISE has just finished a complete change in hull colour. Instead of traditional paint, she has received a full vinyl hull wrap by Wild Group, a well known exterior & interior vinyl yacht finishing company, with the end result being a “gun metal grey” hull. The scaffolding is now coming off and she will be in the water over the next few days, when the engine work will start.
