Experiencing the Sophisticated Interiors created in Azumi's Conversion from Fishing Vessel to Luxury Superyacht
Suppose you take a look into the 67.1-metre Azumi, a former fishing vessel that has been spectacularly transformed into a masterpiece of luxury at the hands of the adept Norse Shipyard in Turkey. Imagine a two-year painstaking conversion process, recasting a simple fishing vessel into a breathtaking superyacht. Think of the steel hull being lengthened from 65.4 to 67.1 metres, the aft deck morphing majestically to host a swimming pool and a commodious swim platform.
One cannot overlook the immense role played by the Canadian design studio Gregory C. Marshall. Their exceptional work in designing the exterior and naval architecture of the Azumi has made an indelible mark on the project. The shipyard takes immense pride in this transformation, seeing it as an exciting journey and a testament to their ethos of sustainability and luxury.
Interestingly, Norse Shipyard has been making waves lately with yet another adventurous endeavour: the initiation of the 106-metre Project MG, labelled as the world’s first wind-assisted hybrid expedition yacht. Through projects like these, the shipyard aims to redefine the symbiosis of man and marine, blending aesthetics, comfort and ecological mindfulness.
