Products are made to order. Even countries such as Italy and the Netherlands, which have come to the forefront in the yacht industry, we sold yachts them. Especially after the launching and towing systems that were put into service in June are completed, there is a significant increase in order sizes. "At the moment, we have companies producing 75 meters in length, now we will be able to serve yachts up to 90 meters and 2K tons in our region. This is a great power."

Noting that they launched 35 luxury yachts with a sales value of around 200 million dollars last year, Gürses stated that they have delivered 514 yachts with a sales value of approximately 1.5 billion dollars to their owners since 2000, when yacht production began.

This year, the number of yachts around 50, our companies have started to receive orders for all kinds of yachts, no matter how small or big. The yachts we manufacture are exhibited all over the world. Most of the shipyards' orderbooks are full, they started taking orders for the next years. They can't keep up with the demand right now." said.

“There is a demand for investment, but there is no room”

Stating that the yachts coming for maintenance and repair also provide significant foreign currency inflow, Gürses said that an area of approximately 25 thousand square meters is allocated for maintenance and repair, and this provides a serious advantage to the companies.

Stating that there is a high demand for investment in the region from many countries, especially from the Middle East countries, Iran, Italy and Germany, Gürses said, "The area of the region has been filled. Especially in the last year, domestic and foreign companies have been making serious demands for investment." he said.

Explaining that they are trying to include a new area of approximately 20 thousand square meters in the region, Gürses noted that if this area is allocated, the employment and trade volume of the companies will increase even more.

Gürses also stated that they have started to serve as a port in the region and that they can serve ships up to 190 meters in length.
