From concept to launch, under one roof.
Yacht design that is buildable, with its cost known from day one. For shipyards, new brands and custom projects.

A boat is made of thousands of parts. Lines, sections, laminate layers, bills of materials and cost items, all in different files and different hands.
Every gap between design and shipyard turns into a mistake on the shop floor or a surprise in the budget.
Mariner Yacht Design brings these pieces together at one table.
How every line will be built in the workshop, and what it will cost, is known from the very start.
Design, engineering and production at the same table
Design. Concept, exterior styling, general arrangement and 3D modelling. The lines that define the boat’s character, how it will be used and how it will be built are developed together.
Engineering. Composite laminate schedule, ISO 12215 scantling calculations, hydrostatic and stability calculations, class drawings, CE technical file (Directive 2013/53/EU) and technical drawing packages. Class and stability work is carried out with the naval architects I work alongside.
Production. Bill of materials, cost analysis, mould (plug) model, CNC cutting files, vacuum infusion planning and production schedule. Shipyard-ready files with no surprises.
We plot the course together
Every project moves in four steps, with you at every stage.
01 Introduction. Intended use, length, budget and production conditions are defined.Deliverable: requirements summary and proposal.
02 Concept. Form, layout and first hydrostatic checks; options are reviewed together.Deliverable: exterior sketches, general arrangement, first hydrostatic check.
03 Technical package. 3D model, laminate schedule, technical drawings and bill of materials.Deliverable: 3D model, lines plan, laminate schedule, technical drawings, mould model, CNC cutting files, bill of materials.
04 Into production. Cost, schedule, shipyard coordination and support throughout the build.Deliverable: cost analysis, production schedule, CE technical file, shipyard coordination.
It starts with a line.
Every boat is born from a single line that defines its character: the sheer line, the stem and the transom.
Engineering gives it shape.
Lines plan, station sections and waterlines; with ISO 12215 scantling calculations and hydrostatic checks, every line becomes buildable.
Built layer by layer.
From gelcoat to foam core, the thickness and order of every layer are set in the laminate schedule. Vacuum infusion delivers a light, strong and repeatable hull.
Completed at sea.
From line to water, at the same table. The next boat could be yours.

About
I’m Mustafa, a yacht designer. For more than 11 years I have worked inside shipyards on yacht design, composite engineering and production costing.
Mariner Yacht Design is the studio where I bring that experience to independent projects. I design every line knowing how it will be built in the workshop and what it will cost.
Frequently asked questions
What types of boats do you design?
I work on motor yachts, flybridge and trawler yachts, cabin cruisers and open center console boats. The portfolio ranges from 5 m open boats to 55 ft flybridge yachts.
Do you only design, or do you also do the engineering?
Both. Alongside exterior styling and general arrangement, I prepare a production-ready technical package: lines plan, ISO 12215 scantling calculations, laminate and vacuum infusion plan, hydrostatic and stability calculations, class drawings, CE technical file and bill of materials. Class and stability work is carried out with the naval architects I work alongside.
What do the deliverables include?
Depending on the project: 3D model, lines plan, laminate schedule, technical drawings, mould model, CNC cutting files, bill of materials (BOM), stability calculation, class drawings, CE technical file, cost analysis and production schedule.
Do you work with clients outside Turkey?
Yes. From Istanbul I work with shipyards and brands worldwide, in English or Turkish; meetings and file sharing are handled remotely.
How do we start a project?
Simply fill in the project brief on this page, or get in touch by WhatsApp, email or phone. Once the intended use, length, budget and production conditions are clear, I prepare a requirements summary and a proposal.
