Mengi Yay Shipyard has proudly launched the Atlante Classic 35, a 35-meter explorer yacht designed for luxury expedition cruising. This new vessel represents the shipyard’s inaugural entry into the luxury yacht sector, expanding beyond its traditional expertise in commercial shipbuilding.
The yacht’s robust design combines a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure, crafted by Mengi Yay’s in-house design team. Powered by twin Caterpillar C18 engines, the Atlante Classic 35 reaches a top speed of 15 knots and cruises efficiently at 12 knots. It boasts an impressive range of 4,000 nautical miles at a steady speed of 10 knots, making it ideal for long-distance voyages.
Accommodation aboard the Atlante Classic 35 caters to up to 12 guests in six staterooms, including a master suite, VIP suite, and four guest cabins. The crew quarters consist of eight cabins to comfortably house a crew of ten. The yacht features a spacious main deck saloon, an elegant upper deck sky lounge, and an open flybridge equipped with alfresco dining options.
Inside, the yacht showcases a contemporary design emphasizing natural materials and neutral tones. Notable amenities include a large beach club with a garage for water toys, a gym, and a dedicated spa area. For added comfort at anchor, the vessel is fitted with zero-speed stabilizers.
Mehmet Mengi, CEO of Mengi Yay Shipyard, remarked, “The Atlante Classic 35 marks a major milestone for us. This yacht perfectly blends our decades of shipbuilding experience with cutting-edge technology and refined design, positioning us strongly in the luxury yacht market.”
Engineered for global exploration, the Atlante Classic 35 features a shallow draft of 2.2 meters and a substantial fuel capacity of 45,000 liters. The yacht is also equipped with advanced navigation systems and a state-of-the-art stabilization system to enhance performance and comfort.
Construction of the vessel began in 2023. Following its launch, the yacht will undergo rigorous sea trials and final outfitting before its anticipated delivery in early 2025.
Founded in 1972, Mengi Yay Shipyard is a prominent Turkish shipbuilder traditionally specializing in commercial vessels. The launch of the Atlante Classic 35 signals the company’s strategic expansion into the high-end luxury yacht market.
