Rainbow II is a 51.32-metre classic-inspired sailing superyacht project at Turquoise Yachts in Istanbul. The shipyard currently lists the vessel under construction; no reliable official confirmation of a 2025 launch or delivery was found during the November 2026 review. The previous launch-year entry has therefore been removed rather than presented as fact.
The project originated as a schooner platform in the Netherlands before the hull was purchased by Turquoise. Dykstra Naval Architects redesigned the concept as a modern sloop with the long overhangs and sheer line associated with early twentieth-century large sailing yachts. The interior design is by deVosdeVries design. Both the builder and naval architect describe a yacht intended to offer traditional visual character alongside contemporary comfort and handling systems.
Published project particulars give a 51.32-metre length overall, an 8.26-metre beam and a 5.00-metre draught. The proposed structure is aluminium 5083-H321, with an estimated gross tonnage of approximately 230. A single 551 kW Volvo D16 is listed as the main auxiliary engine, supported by two Kohler 70 kW generators. The stated approximate maximum speed is 15.5 knots. All these figures belong to the published project specification and should not be read as post-delivery performance records.
On deck, high bulwarks are intended to protect guests when the sloop is under sail. The main deckhouse saloon offers wide views, while the adjacent cockpit is planned for sheltered outdoor dining. A side-boarding platform provides sea-level access for swimming and tender transfer. The yacht's classic profile incorporates modern sail-handling arrangements to make the large rig practical for a contemporary crew.
The accommodation plan includes an owner's suite with separate access to the aft deckhouse, a VIP cabin, a double cabin and two twin cabins. A lower-deck lounge is designed to convert into a sixth guest cabin when required. DeVosdeVries describes interior styling based on warm, lacquered mahogany and fine panel details that recall historic racing yachts without reproducing their limitations.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.
Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
