The competitive world of superyacht design is set to be invigorated by a fresh collaboration between Turkish powerhouse RMK Yachts and renowned Norwegian design studio, Espen Øino International. Their joint venture, a new 50-metre superyacht, is already touted as a game-changer in the industry. The official revelation of the yacht is eagerly awaited in the second quarter of 2026. Espen Øino emphasised the future-forward approach of this ambitious project. The goal? Harnessing sustainability and fitness-for-purpose for a meaningful yachting experience. He envisages a world teeming with yachts that are highly purposeful and eco-friendly, securing peace of mind for owners and crews while minimising environmental impact. With design work set to begin next month, details of the model remain sparse. However, RMK Yachts have suggested a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. It is touted to be a ‘forward-looking design’ tailored for the upcoming generation of yacht owners.

This collaboration aligns seamlessly with RMK’s dedication to building timeless top-grade yachts. Okcu is sure that the union of RMK’s industrial strength with Øino’s creative vision can revolutionise the yachting world.
