Tansu
Distinctive Turkish yachts combining bold, minimalist design, expansive outdoor living and a strong connection to the sea.
Founded by designer Rıza Tansu, Tansu Yachts developed a highly recognisable approach to yacht building, moving away from traditional luxury styling in favour of simplicity, functionality and a closer connection to the water. Its design philosophy emerged from the belief that life aboard should feel more like a relaxed beach house than a formal city residence.
Tansu yachts are particularly known for their strong, military-inspired exterior lines, expansive open decks and minimalist interiors. Practicality is integral to the design, with generous outdoor entertaining areas, versatile tender and toy storage and spaces positioned close to the sea.
Yachts such as Preference 19 and S7 helped establish the distinctive Tansu identity internationally, combining robust construction and performance with an unconventional approach to luxury. For owners looking for something immediately recognisable and deliberately different from traditional yacht design, Tansu offers a particularly individual style of yachting.
