CCN YACHTS is a part of CCN INVESTMENT HOLDING (www.ccnholding.com). CCN YACHTS is building the 68m M/Y Day’s as the first unit of the range.
Ranging from 65 to 75 meters in length, Day’s is being built in collaboration with the AES YACHT shipyard (www.aesyacht.com).
 
This joint venture is working together with the internationally awarded Italian design studio HOT LAB for interior and exterior design, creating a brand-new project for a private client. The vastly experienced Turkish company ENDAZE MARINE ENGINEERING will design the vessel’s naval architecture.

Project management on the client’s behalf is carried out by Mr. Jacques Potgieter. With his extensive sea going and operational management experience in the industry, his input is vital to ensure that the vessel is being built to industry standards and that it will be functional, safe and cost effective to operate and maintain. This was facilitated by his involvement in the preliminary stages of the project, more than six month before any steel was cut.
