Mengi Yay 47M Virtus #04 Motor Yacht
About 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.
Where she lies and how to see her
Mengi Yay 47M Virtus #04 is taking shape at the yard in Tuzla, Turkey, and Boatcrowd can arrange a yard visit for anyone who wants to see her build in progress, attending alongside you. Survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted, timed to her 2028 delivery.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
