RMK Yachts has appointed Fraser and Moravia Yachting as joint central agents for its 52-metre LIVIA semi-custom superyacht series. The partnership strengthens the yard's international sales strategy for the platform.
RMK Yachts has appointed Fraser and Moravia Yachting as joint central agents for its LIVIA series, giving the Turkish shipyard two established international brokerage houses to support the commercial development of the semi-custom superyacht platform. Fraser announced the appointment around the 52-metre, 170-foot 6-inch LIVIA concept and said the partnership is intended to introduce future LIVIA sisterships to a wider international owner base.
The move places LIVIA within a broader strategy at RMK Yachts to develop recognisable product families rather than treating each new yacht as an isolated project. RMK Yachts director Cuneyt Okcu says the yard wants each platform to retain a distinct identity while drawing on the same engineering capability, manufacturing base and shipbuilding expertise.
Moravia Yachting's current sales listing presents LIVIA at 52 metres and 499 GT, with a starting price of €26.5 million and a quoted construction period of approximately 36 months from keel laying. Keeping the platform below the 500 GT threshold allows RMK Yachts to offer substantial superyacht volume while retaining the operational profile of the increasingly competitive sub-500 GT market.
The project's naming reflects the way the design has evolved during development. Red Yacht Design continues to identify the platform as LIVIA 50, while the current Fraser announcement and Moravia sales specification describe the commercial offering at 52 metres, so the latest brokerage material provides the clearest reference for the yacht now being marketed.
Moravia lists six- and seven-cabin accommodation configurations together with quarters for a crew of 11, allowing the layout to be adapted for different private or commercial operating priorities. A principal feature is the approximately 50-square-metre main-deck owner's suite, which is designed with a private side balcony, Jacuzzi and vertical garden.
LIVIA is being marketed around more than interior volume and styling, with hybrid propulsion and integrated alternative-energy systems forming part of its technical proposition. Moravia says the arrangement is intended to support quieter operation, reduced emissions and periods of generator-free anchoring, while Red Yacht Design describes lower energy consumption as a central consideration in the platform's development.
The current specification also gives LIVIA the range expected of a yacht intended for extended cruising rather than short coastal passages alone. Moravia lists approximately 4,000 nautical miles of range, a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots for the 499 GT displacement platform.
That combination is commercially significant because semi-custom yachts are increasingly expected to provide meaningful technical differentiation without requiring an owner to fund the complete engineering development of a one-off project. LIVIA's proposition is therefore based on a repeatable underlying platform that can still be configured around different accommodation, operating and efficiency priorities.
Fraser sales broker Sotiris Konstantakis and Moravia Yachting's Rob Lander are representing LIVIA through the joint central-agency arrangement. Fraser says its international brokerage reach and new-build experience will be used alongside RMK Yachts and Red Yacht Design as the series is presented to prospective owners in multiple markets.
RMK Yachts says Fraser and Moravia understood the intended philosophy of the LIVIA programme from the early stages, including the yard's emphasis on design identity, build quality and long-term owner value. That alignment matters for a semi-custom series because the brokers are selling not only an individual specification but also the credibility of the platform and the shipyard's ability to reproduce it for future clients.
The appointment also gives LIVIA a more formal commercial structure as it moves from design development toward securing build contracts. A central-agency arrangement with two internationally active brokerage businesses provides RMK Yachts with a larger sales network while giving prospective buyers established intermediaries for specification, negotiation and new-build discussions.
RMK Yachts is positioning LIVIA as part of a carefully structured portfolio rather than as a single design intended to satisfy every owner profile. Okcu's description of distinct product families indicates that the shipyard sees repeatable engineering and manufacturing as a way to offer greater certainty while preserving enough design flexibility to differentiate individual yachts.
That strategy reflects a wider shift in the large-yacht market toward platforms that sit between production construction and fully bespoke superyachts. Owners can obtain much of the individuality associated with a custom yacht while beginning with an established naval-architecture and engineering package, potentially reducing development risk and making delivery planning more predictable.
For Fraser and Moravia Yachting, LIVIA adds a new-build proposition in an active part of the market where sub-500 GT volume, long-range capability and lower-impact propulsion are increasingly prominent selling points. For RMK Yachts, the joint appointment creates an international commercial framework for turning the LIVIA design family into contracts and establishing the platform as a repeatable part of the yard's future superyacht portfolio.
