Recently, the aesthetically pleasing 31.7-metre motor yacht Nyla, constructed by renowned Turkish manufacturers Mengi Yay, has been sold in a deal that marks it as the enviable prize for any lover of luxury and open sea. Sam Watts, of 37 South, played a significant role in the negotiation, representing the seller successfully.
The Gulf-based build stands testament to the prowess of the Ginton Naval Architects, conceived and constructed for long-range marine expeditions. Sporting reinforced steel and aluminium that offer stability and strength, Nyla proudly holds an awe-inspiring 4,000-nautical-mile range and copious storage capacity. These features peg her as a vessel of comfort and convenience.

The fascinating journey of Paul Markland spans from simple beginnings near the tidal creeks of South Devon coast, with a deep connection to the sea that felt more like a calling than an interest. His early adventures with a battered Enterprise dinghy set the stage for an enduring romance with yachting. Paul’s experience expanded with an old Fletcher speedboat, which introduced him to the thrill of waterskiing and sailing at high speeds.
His failed attempts to secure a place in higher education propelled him towards a career in the merchant navy. With hard work and perseverance, Paul’s professional journey took him to the farthest corners of the earth, from crewing supertankers to captaining a dive support vessel and managing shipping projects in foreign lands. He finally returned to the UK to helm a shipping company.
