This growing enthusiasm inspired an ambition to create exceptional sailing yachts. Motivated by this passion, I constructed a yacht for personal and family use. The admiration she garnered laid the foundation for the Mishi Yachts brand.The insights gained from personal sailing experiences have profoundly shaped the design and functionality of Mishi Yachts.Transitioning from constructing military and commercial vessels to pleasure crafts represented a bold strategic shift, primarily driven by my vision to meld luxury with an exceptional sailing experience. Leveraging the extensive boat-building expertise of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5300" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yonca Shipyard (Company)">Yonca Shipyard</a>, we developed the main concept for the Mishi 88.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311912/image/large-0838780068ab8709b5bd2369f47a8042.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311912">Could you elaborate on your current construction capacity?<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5300" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yonca Shipyard (Company)">Yonca Shipyard</a>, home to the Mishi brand, specialises in composite manufacturing, supported by an efficient production line and a well-structured corporate organisation. The shipyard has its own design office, where the Multi-Role Tactical Platform (MRTP) concept was developed. This innovative concept has facilitated the production of over 180 vessels globally, with the inaugural vessel still in active service.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5300" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yonca Shipyard (Company)">Yonca Shipyard</a> has a production capacity of 20 military boats and 20 pleasure crafts annually. Our expansive facility covers a total area of 44,000 square-metres, with 22,000 square-metres dedicated to enclosed spaces. We can construct yachts up to 49-metres in length and 400 tonnes in weight.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334026/image/large-5f6f7b273c5b9b858f146e163f55ae65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334026">Although we have the capability to produce more, our objective is to construct three sailing yachts annually. Our approach prioritises quality over quantity, ensuring each yacht meets the most stringent quality standards.The shipyard actively collaborates with partners to pioneer innovative solutions and remains at the forefront of technological advancements. This collaboration enhances <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5300" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yonca Shipyard (Company)">Yonca</a>’s capability to deliver cutting-edge designs and technologies, further solidifying our position in a competitive market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311911/image/large-80d0bed98b76a386eb23b63a537547db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311911">After the construction of the 26-metre Mishi sailing yacht, will you plan on building larger yachts?We have already completed the engineering and design work for our next model, the Mishi 102. The decision to construct larger yachts was influenced by our desire to enhance onboard living conditions, offering larger crew quarters, expanded storage facilities, and a more spacious galley. These improvements are designed to increase comfort and functionality for extended cruises, ensuring the Mishi 102 meets the needs of our customers seeking more space for their sailing adventures.Does the use of composite materials impose any limitations?We have the ability to construct larger yachts, and our use of composite materials presents no limitations. With 38 years of experience and over 180 boats in service, our expertise and advanced technology enable us to manufacture larger yachts without compromising quality. We are confident in our ability to meet the growing demands for even larger sailing yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311910/image/large-13cdfb67858ebb73df3ef37dc757aaeb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311910">Why have you chosen to focus on building sailing yachts, and do you have plans to expand into motor yacht construction?While we may explore motor yacht construction in the future, our current priority is to establish the Mishi Yachts brand within the sailing superyacht market. Our goal is to evolve the Mishi Yachts sailing series beyond the standards set by our initial model, the Mishi 88.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309381/image/large-48594f0fe1a904edaad514740842f9aa.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309381">How have the skills and techniques from your military and commercial vessel construction experience been applied to the pleasure yacht segment?For 38 years, we have specialised in manufacturing durable, secure, lightweight, and high-speed boats for the defence industry. This &nbsp;experience has provided us with &nbsp;expertise in composite materials construction, essential for yacht production that requires advanced technology and skilled craftsmanship.
