HOW TO BUILD A SUPERYACHT - AT TURQUOISE YACHTS!

ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING SUPERYACHT BUILDERS ON THE WORLD SCENE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT TURQUOISE YACHTS. THEY KINDLY INVITED ME TO THEIR SHIPYARD FACILITIES TO SHOW ME THE PROCESS OF CREATING A SUPERYACHT FROM THE "A" TO THE "Z".
I RECORDED THE VISIT FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

[@colin.chaffers]

I never thought of Turkey as Super-yacht builder, this video changes everything, your video production is on par with tradional Tv broadcast, maybe not in overall technology, but production, content and delivery, excellent .

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks Colin. That’s very kind of you. Turkey is an amazing country, very industrial and industrious! We’ve been in Istanbul for the last couple of weeks - 18 million inhabitants of the city! Just hopping in a cab now to the airport…and then Miami!

[@colin.chaffers]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog thats the way keep spreading the word David, I'm sure you know how you are a great influencer in the industry.

[@darthkek1953]

@@colin.chaffers there are a lot of interesting boatyards in Turkey, Bering is one one of my favourites.

[@bugraatlgan4640]

Turkey is best dude

[@EdwardTilley]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog Interestingly Istanbul's "name change" in the 13th century came from cab drivers who routinely asked travellers "Do you want to go into the old city?" Se Stan Pol - in Greek is Se = In, Stan = Constantine, Polis = City - which became Istanbul over time.

28:42 oh my goodness such a cool guy is there doing his job seamlessly behind!

[@LCOF]

Haha! I'd love to do what you do brother. Have you tried using VR with your work? I'm currently studying an architecture/surveying degree and using autocad but I'm interested in seeing how VR will enhance the process for both designers and clients.

[@grondhero]

What an awesome place to work! Thanks for doing a spectacular job. "Be sure to *Like* and *Subscribe.* " :)

[@panpiper]

I'd be very interested to see a video on "How to Design a Yacht".

[@christopherleigh2090]

Great video,,this is why this chanel is No1️⃣ Turquoise yachts make some of the best yachts in the world,✌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

This is what I've been craving! Great video. Fascinating to see how these yachts are built, but rarely do we get even a glimpse, until the finished product is launched. First Nautistyles at Bering, and now you at Turquoise, do I smell a trend? 😄 I won't hold my breath for a similar video from Lürssen or Feadship, because of the confidentiality issues (although the way this was made, you don't really see any details from any given yacht, but DO see the process, and the attention to details in the yard), but one can always hope. You have a great team, thanks to all of you, and thanks to Turquoise for the invite 😊

[@badbilly1083]

Incredible to see these skilled tradesmen in action and I really hope more future yachting videos include the people behind the boats. I want to see the people & machines involved from the concept, design, building, outfitting, testing, selling, & operating. These people are the very best of the best in the entire world at what they do and I like to meet some of them. The super to mega to ultra to giga yachts’ is the ultimate purchase for the wealthy top 1%. Their individual homes and private jets don’t cost as much or take as long to construct as their yachts do, making this a very demanding endeavor. Thanks to Turquoise Yachts for allowing us to peek behind the curtain. I’ll admit I wasn’t aware of the current level & quality of manufacturing in Turkey, which is very impressive.

[@scoobydo6454]

David what an wonderful insight to modern super yacht production ! A big shout out to Turquoise Yachts for their willingness to reveal so much of the process but they are understandably incredibly proud of what they have achieved and what they produce, wish them all prosperity and success with that diligence in meeting and exceeding their client requirements . Thank you for that and saved to favorites ! Shaking my piggy bank now LOL

[@berlinerbar4979]

Amazing Video. just half a year ago i asked you about Turkish🇹🇷 Yacht Industry to give us some Information about Quality and Design. Now here we are.👍 Thanks for this.

[@Rosivok]

I would never have thought of Turkey as a Yacht builder, Thank You for showing this wonderful collection of master craftsmen that work for Turquoise.

[@rudideghelt]

I'll start my comment with a conclusion: WOW. This video is worthy of a report, the quality of the image, the quality of the editing, the quality of the music, the subject of the report. I thought you were on top of the top already, but with this video you and the team make it to the top of the top reporting. Sincerely, a big thank you for this gift. After the live, it's really interesting to see the subject, especially in this way, in this quality. Thank you David and the whole team.

[@ethemarazi590]

Fantastic job! Thanx for the video

[@Jacob-W-5570]

That is the neatest and cleanest floating dock I've ever seen!

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

I swear this is the best walk through of a yacht builder. You killed the internet. Aquaholic, eat your heart out.

[@LCOF]

I stopped watching Aquaholic as soon as they had Jim Davidson on. I realised then that 'these are not my people'. YFS offers insight that's unrivaled, are inclusive in a very exclusive industry and they're grounded about the world of yacht building.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks so much. That’s a really great compliment!!!

[@villageintheshire]

Totally agree. The score rocked aswell

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; I'll echo the praise of this video and the openness of Turquoise Shipyard! Excellent! Looking forward to more of these - I'm certain some manufacturers will be rethinking their "openness" after this. Mahalo!

[@thesharpiefp]

The scale of these buildings and some of the shots are awe inspiring. Keep up the great videos. I am always so impressed at your enthusiasm and zeal for the work you do. Thanks as always and I know it takes a lot of work, let your crew know they are as appreciated as you are David.

[@snukkelpuppie]

Fantastic video! The facilities over there in Turkey look absolutely stunning. What a great shipyard.

[@mysterymayhem7020]

Your editor is going for an Emmy/Oscar for documentaries by the look of the video. Great job to him/her and great job to you too David. Loved the video.

[@MIAthe305]

that gentleman was reluctant to give up that sink drain plus like a mother not wanting to give her kid to just anyone :) these guys really take pride in their work

[@peneloped.wenman4388]

... what clean fine lines to this sailing yacht ... actually breath-taking in it's aerodynamics ... like it could take flight at any moment ... lovely, uplifting, inspiring design with pristine whites & colours ... very, very gracious & elegant ... neat very clean workyard & workspace ... I feel like I would like to quote the Omani phrase: Beauty has an Address ... yes, well it sure has one here ... wonderful ...

[@coop3014]

The intense high suspense background music in the beginning makes me wonder who’s going to be killed. Hahaha 🤣

[@stevenzobel4517]

Thanks for making this video it's been incredibly interesting to watch

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks for watching!

[@poddy1957]

A fascinating insight in to just how much hard work, and planning is involved in the making of a superyacht, Thank you David, and Turquoise Yachts for sharing this experience with us

[@nonstickllama6944]

Very informative and well presented nice to see the building of these beautiful superyachts. Proven Turkish quality.

[@andrewweaver45]

I had the pleasure of meeting both David & Tim at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Both are absolute standup gents. Love this connection/collaboration! What a video!

[@timothyleventyurdum7775]

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! Looking forward to catching up at the next show!

[@franganmacloud8046]

Great...:)

[@user-ut1bk6tw8p]

I have been following your channel for many years, and I have not commented on it before, I can say, “This episode is the best I have seen in the world of yachting”, welcome to Istanbul.

[@motor-head]

Thank you for bringing this to us. Truly fascinating. Hats off to Turquoise for their obvious skill.

[@patrickabas1112]

After finalising my studies and having a degree as a Navel Engineer something went very wrong (in retrospect) as I now work in the financial world. It is from this perspective I love to see these types of productions. To be able to have an indepth look into the kitchen of a prestigious brand like Turquoise. Turkey has a massive industrial heritage and for me, it is not strange that find a shipyard there that produces such a level of quality. I think they will be a force to reckon with when producing in the same bandwidth compared to Holland, Italy and Germany. In Holland, it is commonly known that if you need your clothes altered you go to a Turkish tailor. They are quick, good and extremely cost effective. I think this is in their DNA so to speak.

[@lmcognitio2049]

Huge facilities. Interesting to see how these yachts are assembled. A kid's dream...

[@nikodemus6315]

Great insight into the build, that I'd never have got to experience without your channel. Thanks so much awesome video 👍🏼

[@djwashx]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darploin5071]

The welding job looks pretty good that they're doing so far I haven't seen eney birdshit Welds And that's always a plus

[@ferruhkose8645]

Great job.Congrats everyone.

[@frankv4271]

David, I absolutely enjoyed this video, so much so that I had to watch it a second time. I believe this is your best shipbuilder video you've done so far, by far. You and Turquoise, truly gave us the opportunity to see everything from A to Z and it didn't feel rushed. It's nice to see that you can still outdo your best, from the final content you've selected to edit in your video. Sometime it feels like you probably had more content that you ended up not using. But this one just FANTASTIC. David, I thank you and your team, for an enjoyable video.

[@9NGAZ9]

amazing...

[@volvomicke999]

So incredible to see

[@villageintheshire]

Simply b-r-i-l-l-a-n-t!!! Just the sort of program I've been wanting to see for a while. So interesting seeing the stages of yacht construction ... I never get tired of watching this sort of deep dive so more of this would get a 👍 from me.

[@colinturner4158]

This video is everything you want to see about boat building amazing stuff putting it al together is something else makes you appreciate the end product more

[@masterpiece918]

The amount of detailed knowledge is astonishing in this video. Thank you for shearing

[@4200timeB]

Good vid very cool . big things made by bigger things inside huge places.

[@privatesecurityafrica4129]

Lost for words.... Amaizing...

[@grondhero]

I have to admit that the first 10 or so minutes of music gave it the feel of a Terminator/horror movie. Glad that didn't last. I loved the tour! So glad Turquoise allowed this to happen. You did a great job explaining the different areas, especially why the two locations are 30 miles apart.

[@ah244895]

Pretty sure the place was wiped out by flood, terrorist or Godzilla.

[@OurWorldIn5]

This is one of the best videos you guys have ever done. LOVE the soundtrack mixed with the videography. Great job all the way around, learned so much and kept me totally on the edge of my seat!!!!

[@channel1_channel]

Yeah..they absolutely nailed this production. World class.

[@Xactant]

David - Love this type of video! It is amazing to see the painstaking planning and engineering that goes into these vessels.

That was awesome great coverage and more importantly thanks to the super yacht builder turquoise

[@brianking973]

Thank you for making this video! I love watching how boats are manufactured. Would love to see more if you know some good ones to watch.

[@AaronS.77]

Wow I can’t believe I sat Thru and watched as much of this as I did … BUT the guy makes it understandable for even the most non-knowledgeable yacht lovers and never non owners .. I may start a new yacht club .. anyone wanna join? The “Never Non-Owners Yacht Club” Hmm But all aside video was very informative and it just AMAZES me the ingenuity of mankind Wow

[@johngauntlett4915]

David, as always, very informative.

Incredible! I''m 12 minutes in and loving this! Amazing video production work! Amazing yard!

[@jaffaholland4039]

Totally amazing facility, stunning levels of detail, just fanastic video

[@paulw7404]

Can't decide what was better - the craftsmanship of this actual video or the craftsmanship of the yacht builder. Turquoise did themselves a disservice not allowing you a quick walkthrough of a finished interior (but can understand why). In saying that you and your team went above and beyond in promoting this yacht builder. Won't be surprising if you get more requests from other builders - much to the delight of your subscribers! Cough "Bering".

[@stevehen1000]

Absolutely Mind boggling. How they manage to design, build and co-ordinate everything is just incredible. Also, I congratulate you on your commentary and whoever put the video together did fantastic job. Well done.

[@chrish2996]

Hi David. An awesome video. Fantastic factory tour. I've watched many timelapse superyacht builds, the attention to detail in construction is phenomenal. I absolutely loved this walkthrough. Thanks 😊

[@dunkie976]

Fantastic behind the scenes video guys! Its really interesting to see how much work goes into those things, like making their own hinges, handles and plugholes!!! Its also good that you have the respect of the companies that makes them willing to show you some of their processes 👍❤️

[@atlassilverbraid]

Fantastic. I have waited to watch it and I really enjoyed this. Thoroughly amazing.

[@7rays]

Great video! Very impressive and very insightful. You do such a great job… Greatly appreciated!

Very interesting video. I understand now more and more why it takes so long to build an superyachts. Impressive

GRAZIE DAVID!!!!!!!QUESTO VIDEO E' UNA VERA BOMBA!💣💥

[@Luisantonio-wy5uf]

Increíble video !!!

[@wolvolad25]

Super video again, the level of complexity always amazes me, the project management of all this must be on a uber level to make sure it all comes together working and safely.

[@woody41165]

Thank you so very much David and the team for all the work you have all put into this. This is a very professional and well put together video and very enjoyable. Again thank you so much and the efforts of everyone is highly appreciated.

[@suehunt622]

daivd, wow................... that was awesome. that could have been 3 hours long and still not do it justice. thank you kindly for this insight.

[@nigelmaisey272]

Wow … incredible attention to detail … love the fact they make their own hinges etc …and that guy was so excited to show you the plug hole !!! 👍👏👏…. Love this kind of behind the scenes content…. Happy New year David ….keep up the good work !! 👏👍😎cheers🥂

[@kilimli8824]

9:15 this angles shows how big the superyachts are actually, after getting used to the wedding cake look for a while, i kinda lose the awe affect of them but seeing the whole deck like that reminds me the super yachts are indeed "super"

[@edgargomes8003]

We always put teflon between steel n aluminium 👌🏽👍🏼REALLY NICE SHIPYARD 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼

[@kevindowd7769]

Wow… David this is Your best video. You have transformed a process of a factory to a very interesting , informative and entertaining presentation that had a great flow… which allowed me to focus on what was being shown by You and Turquoise vs, trying to figure out what was going on and how that segment fit into the rest of the video. Great Job!

[@GDIliev]

Apparently we have two very different definitions of "a shed".... :o

[@ah244895]

Enjoyed the video very much. It compliments the video of the the Turkish built yachts by Bering.

[@dnmurphy48]

Oooh, that schooner/sloop looks wonderful. Still lust after Shandaoah of sark, but that one is a beauty.

[@jamesharris8951]

loves his face on screen

[@gadois8674]

This was educational, not just marketing. A very enjoyable video. I'd be interested in knowing some typical timescales through the stages shown.

[@DDPAV]

I may be the only one, but when looking at all the craftsmanship and time that goes into the finest of details, along with the infrastructure required, I'm thinking super yachts are actually a bargain. what's not a bargain is having to sit thru 2 youtube commercials every 90 seconds to watch a long play video. KZbin is worse that network TV in the US...........

[@EdwardTilley]

Very good video; production - 6, storyboard - 7, sound - 10, dialogue - 8 - Solid - considering millions of dollars are not being spent on production here....

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

How did you get Vangelis to score the soundtrack for this video?

[@EricWayne0807]

Really impressive. I work at a local yard here in Xiamen China where we have a long way to go to catch up with the world standard still.

[@peterlbaldwin511]

Many thanks for an excellent and informative video David. May I ask a leading and possibly stupid question..? How would you rate the actual build quality compared to the say more recognised German or Dutch "Superyacht" builders..?

[@seantwomey396]

A concise and well presented video on a complex industrial manufacturer. I was impressed by the level of technology used to assure quality. With the furniture, how does the plywood and veneer composite compare to solid wood when in the high moisture marine environment ? I would be concerned with warping and de-lamination over time.

[@glenpeters955]

Fabulous video, possibly one of the most interesting you have done. I am curious if the model ship at the entrance to the design office was an homage to Yogi. A big thank-you to all involved in what was a fascinating experience.

[@johannsebastianbach3411]

Wow, Tim is the definition of daddy vibes!! Does anyone know how to contact him?

[@donberry1720]

Like a fine wine David. Can you do the same in a Dutch or Italian yard?

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

Turkey has become the premiere yacht building nation due to tax free zone.

[@mareewalker1096]

Absolutely amazing content David watched every second! Your definitely getting your money's worth in every detail! BUT PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE NEW RIVA 88FOLGORE! It's the most stunning sports yacht ever under 100 feet! I'm hoping your contacts with ferritti group can get you onboard! I asked about a month ago and I'll keep asking in hope you get the request and try to make it happen! Thanks as always and happy sailing all ⚓🛥

Step 1, design the underwater exhausts and stern doors so YOGI cant sink

[@pilotnelson4507]

I worked in Turkey in the 80's: Divemaster amongst other things. Turquoise Yachts are a fine example of mid-sized craftsmanship combine with new technologies. Tour de Force Sir David!!!

[@mavi1deniz16]

sorry for you pilot Nelson, Turkey is not the Turkey 41 years ago. There is no medium-sized craftsmanship in Turkey anymore, there is the best craft. If you don't believe what I've been told and what I wrote, welcome to be our guest and see it with your own eyes. 😉

[@DoctorHedgeFund]

Yes it is time to have them make me a 100 meter yacht!!!

[@billm7035]

Great vid, but the camera work is odd. Not showing us what you’re describing (at 3:07 and multiple other instances) keeps us relying on your description rather than a visual reference. But still appreciate the tour!

[@ericcartman8316]

The background music is ominous. Kinda 1984 Terminator. Just waiting for the hammer to drop.
