Say it... 'Sunrise Yachts and Open Yacht in the same sentence'. Oh, so it wasn't just us that stuttered in reading it. Regardless, Turkey-based builder Sunrise Yachts unleashed a 150-foot Open Yacht design to blister the waves at a hot 28-knots.
The Sunrise 150 as it is being called is their first step towards this style of yacht, express yachts. She will be built in all aluminium to a design by Focus Yacht Design and in fact, the interior is also by them. If you are eager to own this type of yacht, the Sunrise 150 is up for grabs.Focus Yacht Design packed quite a few features onboard this yacht. A large section of the bulwark on the aft main deck folds down to create a beach club but more like a terrace on the sea. The sundeck is pretty amazing with a sliding hardtop roof to sun or cover a social area. The aft deck showcases a jacuzzi with sunpadded area and more central is an alfresco dining area to seat the yacht's guest capacity. With 3,460 Horse Power MTUs onboard, a 28-knot top speed is being pushed. What is interesting is that the yard suggests that this 150-footer will still be able to attain a 3,000 nautical mile range. It's a different direction for Sunrise Yachts but demonstrates their willingness to evolve and create a unique aspect in their portfolio.
She was recently seen revealed in the floating dry dock and scaffolding has been disassembled which usually precedes launching.
There is still alot of work to be done but Project Omar surely will launch very soon. Part of the main mast can also be seen in the foreground. This yacht caused quite a stir when she was towed to the same floating dry dock earlier in the year -around April-. Her sheer scale is insane and just to give you an idea, she will become the fourth largest superyacht on the planet once delivered to her owners in 2016.
Confidentiality is upheld to the highest degree with this yard so we will have to wait until they divulge more information on this particular build. With the roof being taken off the floating dry dock we can look forward to launching pretty soon. She has been built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and will naturally have ocean-crossing range. Lurssen is no stranger to building very large yachts. Just recently they delivered the 125-meter "Golden Odyssey" and still have several large builds in the works inclusive of a 120-meter due for 2017.
