Mengi Yay 47M Virtus #04

Hull number four in Mengi Yay's Virtus 47M series, Mengi Yay 47M Virtus #04 pairs a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, keeping weight down high up while holding strength below the waterline. She is taking shape at the yard in Tuzla, Turkey, a 47-metre, 496 GT motor yacht due for delivery in 2028.

Build and provenance

She is hull number four in Mengi Yay's Virtus 47M series, a design the yard is building to a repeating specification rather than as a one-off commission. At 47 metres and 154 feet, with a beam of 8.8 metres, she carries 496 gross tonnes on a steel hull under an aluminium superstructure, taking shape at the yard's facility in Tuzla, Turkey.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins sleep twelve guests aboard Mengi Yay 47M Virtus #04, more than a strict two-per-cabin plan would give her, which suggests cabins sized for family groups rather than couples alone. A crew of nine, close to one crew member for every guest, points to a fully staffed motor yacht rather than a lean delivery crew.

Performance and engineering

A 12-knot cruising speed suits a displacement-style monohull built for steady passages over distance rather than for outright speed. Her engine specification has not been published at this stage of the build, information that tends to follow closer to her 2028 delivery.
