A new 50-metre superyacht concept has taken shape in Turkey – and the sleek modern design is fresh from AES Yacht’s drawing boards.
The Turkish shipyard is no stranger to radical designs, delivering the overly contoured 71-metre superyacht Victoria in 2019, styled by H2 Yacht Design and Gresham Yacht Design. Currently in-build at AES Yacht are three charismatic explorers, all designed by the Italian studio Hot Lab. The largest being the 68-metre ICE 68, scheduled for completion later this year.
The latest concept, the AES 50 sits nicely within the shipyard’s portfolio. AES Yacht’s in-house team oversaw her styling and penned her with clean profile lines and sinuous wings, which stretch the upper foredeck for additional alfresco space.
The sub-500 GT superyacht has a beam of 9-metres and promises accommodation for as many as 12 guests. She’s been designed with an abundance of outdoor living space aft, with a very generous beach club complete with a plunge pool as well as fixed and removable lounge seating.
Her main deck is protected by an overhanging canopy and is home to more comfortable seating. For alfresco dining, guests can make use of her upper deck where a large circular dining table is located. Up top on her sun deck sits a Jacuzzi and a casual area that boasts panoramic views.
The AES 50 has been presented with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. AES Yacht suggests twin Caterpillar C32 engines for a cruising speed of 11.5 knots and a top speed of 14.5 knots.
