Designed by Halit Yukay, the Mazu 38 soft top, has been sold to a European client. He wanted a “military look” combining the latest luxury superyacht tender amenities with trendy elegance. On the Mazu 38 soft top deck, the two pilot seats and also the two passenger seats can absorb every shock to ensure the best comfort and safest navigation. The foldable table operates with hydraulics.

The owner of Mazu 38 soft top is an “Armani style enthusiast”. The yard decided to use as many different textures of leathers and fabrics as possible – all from Foglizzo and a number of mirrors to give the maximum depth interiors perception, like in a loft condo. Halit Yukay also designed a fantastic indoors lighting mood from the Italian supplier Cantalupi to enhance the Mazu 38’s dramatic feeling. The main target was to travel with outmost elegance and comfort, in complete safety. İt is the ultimate super-yacht tender with unparalleled stability, comfort and power.
