Turkish builder Dearsan has delivered the 50.2-metre Queen Yaz, completing its new flagship superyacht with design by Red Yacht Design and naval architecture by Milimetriq.
Turkish builder Dearsan has delivered its 50.2-metre flagship superyacht Queen Yaz, completing one of the yard's most significant custom yacht projects and adding another substantial delivery to Turkey's large-yacht construction sector.
The delivery report confirms that Queen Yaz has been handed over to her owner. The yacht combines a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure and was conceived as a highly personalised family yacht with a strong emphasis on exterior living. Red Yacht Design is responsible for both exterior and interior design, while Milimetriq developed the naval architecture and engineering.
Red Yacht Design's official Queen Yaz project material confirms an overall length of 50.2 metres and a gross tonnage of 499 GT. The official project description records Dearsan Shipyard as builder and confirms the design and engineering team behind the yacht.
Queen Yaz was designed around family use rather than simply maximising enclosed volume. Red Yacht Design describes the yacht as balancing functionality, luxury and personalised comfort, with several principal social spaces positioned outside and arranged around relaxed day-to-day use.
The sundeck forms the main outdoor gathering area. Its arrangement includes a Jacuzzi, sunbeds, lounge sofas, a bar and a dining area, creating a deck intended to work as a complete social environment rather than as a conventional upper-deck sunbathing space.
A separate bow lounge on the main deck provides another social or quieter outdoor area, while the aft lounge creates an additional sheltered space. Together, these areas give guests several alternatives rather than concentrating outdoor life into one large deck.
The layout reflects a wider direction in contemporary custom-yacht design, where access to open decks and the water increasingly shapes the overall arrangement as strongly as traditional interior saloons. On Queen Yaz, those exterior areas are central to the design concept.
Queen Yaz presents a comparatively assertive exterior profile, while the interior takes a softer approach. Because Red Yacht Design developed both sides of the project, the yacht's external identity and accommodation were conceived as parts of the same design programme.
The official project description characterises the interiors as modern and welcoming, using light tones and natural materials to create a relaxed environment for family use. The intention is therefore less about formal interior theatre and more about providing comfortable spaces suited to longer periods on board.
That contrast gives Queen Yaz two related but distinct characters. Externally she has the scale and visual presence expected of a 50-metre flagship, while inside the emphasis moves toward warmth, privacy and practical family living.
The collaboration brings together three Turkish specialists with different responsibilities. Dearsan handled construction, Red Yacht Design developed the exterior and interior design, and Milimetriq supplied the naval architecture and engineering beneath the project.
Queen Yaz is important for Dearsan because a delivered custom yacht provides a very different reference from an announced or partially completed project. Owners, brokers, surveyors and project managers can assess a finished yacht and its execution rather than relying solely on specifications, renderings or construction progress.
At 50.2 metres, Queen Yaz therefore gives the Turkish builder a substantial completed reference in the custom superyacht market. The project required coordination of steel and aluminium fabrication, engineering, large-yacht systems, custom interiors and the interface between the owner's requirements, designers and technical team.
Her delivery also places Dearsan within the increasingly competitive group of Turkish yards capable of completing custom yachts around the 50-metre mark. Turkey's yacht building sector combines shipyards with a broad supporting network of naval architects, designers, specialist manufacturers and subcontractors working on increasingly complex large-yacht projects.
For a yard expanding its profile in this sector, the finished yacht becomes one of the strongest commercial references available. Queen Yaz is no longer a project described by future intentions: she is a delivered flagship whose construction, design and onboard arrangement can be judged as a completed whole.
Queen Yaz's significance ultimately comes from the combination of scale and completion. Her steel and aluminium construction follows established large-yacht practice, while the guest arrangement focuses heavily on open-air living, social areas and comfortable family use.
Rather than depending on an extreme technical concept, the yacht combines conventional custom-superyacht construction with a contemporary approach to how owners and guests use exterior spaces. The sundeck, bow lounge, aft lounge and other outdoor areas form an important part of the yacht's identity.
For Red Yacht Design, Queen Yaz is also a substantial complete exterior and interior design project, while Milimetriq's naval architecture and engineering provide the technical platform beneath that design. The result is a project in which the builder, designer and engineering team each have clearly defined roles.
For the wider Turkish superyacht sector, the delivery is another example of a substantial custom yacht progressing from domestic construction into a completed international project. For Dearsan specifically, however, Queen Yaz is more consequential: the 50.2-metre yacht is now a delivered flagship and a tangible reference for the shipyard's ambitions in custom superyacht construction.
