A milestone has been reached in the construction of the custom 40m (131ft) superyacht AISHA at Red Yacht Design's Anadolu Shipyard in Turkey, with the vessel's aluminum hull and superstructure now fully assembled ahead of the scheduled delivery in the summer of 2025.
Conceived by Red Yacht Design and commissioned by a client, AISHA boasts both exterior and interior designs by Red Yacht Design, along with naval architecture by Red in collaboration with Notilus Engineering. Project management is overseen by the Turkish firm Eureka Yachts.
Designed to prioritize substantial interior volume without compromising on performance, AISHA's profile features a raised pilothouse, a spacious 9.1m (30ft) beam, and an open aft deck with unfolding bulwarks.
The yacht's social areas include a 60-square-meter saloon with a lounge, breakfast/games table, and a connected bar to the galley, allowing easy interaction between guests and crew during meal preparation.
With the opening of the side platforms in the aft section, the beach lounge area is transformed into a very spacious and wide pleasure area, while very functional areas that can be converted into beds for both dining and open-air cinema have been created in the front section.”

AISHA's crowning feature, however, is its expansive 120-square-meter sundeck, equipped with a dining table for 12, a fully stocked barbecue bar, and multiple lounge areas. At the owner's request, an extended hardtop provides ample shade, complemented by a sunning area for guests to enjoy the cruising experience.
Accommodating up to 10 guests, the interior layout focuses on maximizing space while ensuring comfort and functionality. The main deck hosts a full-beam master cabin with an office and twin-sink bathrooms, while the lower deck comprises two double cabins and two single cabins with additional Pullman berths. Additionally, eight crew members can be accommodated onboard.
Upon completion, AISHA will feature a pair of MAN engines, enabling the full-custom yacht to reach a cruising speed of 15 knots, a maximum speed of 19 knots, and a range of approximately 1,500 nautical miles.
