Superyacht Summit Türkiye’s Post

Representing Winkels Yacht Interior at the Superyacht Summit Türkiye in Istanbul was exactly what we anticipated: a confirmation of Turkey’s pivotal role in the global superyacht industry. According to BOAT International Media's Global Order Book, Turkey has entered 2024 with 132 superyachts under construction, making it the second-largest yacht-building nation after Italy. This is a clear reflection of its growing influence and potential. As European shipyards face capacity challenges and Turkey continues to build on its competitive advantages, the country is emerging as an attractive alternative for international designers and buyers. The summit, brilliantly organized by Oğuz Bilgin and Bogdan G., gathered over 400 industry leaders to dive into key topics ranging from the Turkish market’s evolution to forward-thinking discussions like cryptocurrencies. The venues themselves brought Turkey’s vibrant identity to life. From the timeless elegance of the Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul to the contemporary spirit of the Anna Laudel Gallery, the cutting-edge 2PlanTerminal by 2plan Otomotiv, and the historic Bosphorus cruise aboard Halas 71 (thank you, Galeo Yachting!), each location highlighted the country’s seamless blend of tradition and modernity. At Winkels Yacht Interior, we thrive on identifying opportunities before they fully emerge. Our presence in Turkey reflects our commitment to understanding this dynamic market and building the right relationships to support its growth. It’s not just about being there; it’s about being ready. And as Turkey’s influence continues to expand, we’re excited to be part of this journey. #sst2024 #WinkelsYachtInterior #Superyachts #Yachtindustry
