SES Yachts Participates in the Monaco Yacht Show 2026
SES Yachts, the premier Turkish builder of custom-made motor and sailing yachts, is pleased to confirm its participation in the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, taking place from 23 to 26 September. The shipyard welcomes guests, clients, and industry partners to Stand QH2 on Quai L’Hirondelle.
“We are delighted to return to Monaco this year,” said Elif Yıldırım, Managing Partner of SES Yachts. “The past months have marked a significant chapter for our shipyard, defined by steady progress across our order book and the successful completion of a major custom build that showcase our long-standing dedication to precision craftsmanship and modern innovation.”
Among the main highlights presented at the stand is the ongoing development of the EPOQ 36, the flagship model of a new series designed by Sturge & Toth and developed in collaboration with highly regarded brokerage firm Ocean Independence.
Inspired by the refined aesthetic of the Belle Époque, the 36-metre project reinterprets the classic gentleman’s yacht for modern owners seeking understated elegance, efficiency, and long-range comfort. Featuring a high-efficiency hull design by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, the EPOQ 36 reflects SES Yachts’ commitment to practical engineering and quiet sophistication.
“We look forward to sharing the technical and stylistic vision behind the EPOQ project,” continued Yıldırım. “It embodies the core values that have defined our family-run shipyard for nearly five decades: uncompromising build quality, sound engineering and timeless elegance.”
This year’s presence highlights a notable build completed at SES Yachts’ facilities in Istanbul: the recently delivered 42-metre hybrid GX superyacht M/Y Merinos (GX42), built for GX Superyachts.
This vessel features a serial hybrid propulsion system paired with two 300 kWh electric motors, integrated solar panels, and an advanced 940 kWh lithium battery bank. This technology enables up to 48 hours of silent, zero-emission hotel-load operation at anchor.
On the sailing‑yacht front, SES Yachts proudly highlights the legacy of SY Grace III, the iconic 128ft Truly Classic design by Hoek Design, which will also be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show.
Featuring a Bloemsma-built aluminium hull, Grace III was the first Hoek-designed Truly Classic executed by SES Yachts—a milestone followed by the completion of SY Linnea Aurora in recent times.
The SES Yachts team will be present throughout the show at Stand QH2 on Quai L’Hirondelle to discuss these vessels and share insights into the yard’s upcoming custom projects.
