VISIONF Yachts Launches First 65, Expands Into Production Catamarans

VISIONF Yachts has taken a decisive step beyond its larger-aluminum comfort zone with the launch of the first VISIONF 65, its first model in the sub-24-metre segment. The new catamaran, launched in April 2026, is more than a delivery milestone: it is the Turkish builder’s entry into a size bracket that can widen the buyer pool without giving up the volume, visibility, and wide-body presence that define the brand.

At 18.88 metres overall, the VISIONF 65 is being positioned as a production yacht rather than a one-off concept, with GRP composite construction replacing the yard’s usual aluminum emphasis. That shift matters because it gives VISIONF a way to build a more accessible platform while keeping the semi-custom flexibility owners expect. The second hull has already been sold and is under construction, a strong early signal that the model is finding its place beyond launch-day attention.

The proportions tell the story. With an 8.94-metre beam and a reported draft of 1.45 metres, the VISIONF 65 is built for big interior volume without pushing into the operating demands that come with larger superyacht-scale cats. The flybridge, at roughly 60 square metres, is treated as a second main deck and is clearly the social centerpiece. Below, the main saloon spans about 50 square metres and combines dining, lounging, and galley functions into one open-plan space that should feel familiar to multihull owners who value sightlines and flow as much as finish.

That balance is the point of the launch. VISIONF, founded in 2018 and based in Tuzla, has spent the past few years building its reputation with larger models including the VISIONF 80, 82, 101, E-Cat 80, and 77. Its production base stretches across Tuzla Viaport Marina, Yalova, and Balçık, and the company says it is expanding from 5 acres to 15 acres as it aims to become Türkiye’s largest yacht builder. The 65 is a clear downshift in length, but not in ambition.

For owners, the sub-24-metre class opens a useful middle ground. It is large enough to deliver proper catamaran space, with reported layouts including 4+2 or 5+2 cabins for up to eight guests, yet still compact enough to make marina access, crew planning, and day-to-day operation more manageable than on the brand’s biggest yachts. That combination, plus the semi-custom platform and early sales traction, makes the VISIONF 65 look less like a side project and more like the beginning of a broader production strategy.
