Mazu Yachts, a Turkish shipyard, has unveiled the Mazu 132 DS, a 40-foot flagship model in its displacement series.
The yacht has been designed with a masculine profile and an unconventional hull that sees the structure dominated by full-length glass. Red Yacht Design is responsible for the exterior and interior aesthetics, whereas Profjord is responsible for the naval architecture.
The model’s primary characteristics are its flybridge exterior area, which is “significantly larger than other yachts in its size category,” and its panoramic owner’s terrace. The model’s four decks feature ample lounge areas, including a sun terrace with a plunge pool, L-shaped sofa seating, a bar and a 10-person outdoor dining table, as depicted in the renderings. In addition, there is a large beach club with lateral-opening extensions that is separated from the main saloon by semi-opaque glass.
The Mazu 132 DS incorporates Volvo’s IPS 40 propulsion system as part of an ongoing partnership with Volvo Penta. According to the shipyard, this provides “improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and unparalleled manoeuvrability.”
The Mazu 132 DS is presently undergoing engineering development, with construction scheduled to commence in 2024. The yacht is expected to attain a top speed of 16 mph.
The announcement follows the introduction of the 92 DS model by Mazu Yachts last month, which marked the shipyard’s first foray into steel construction.
