Preference 19

The mothership series expedition superyacht Preference (ex. Bartender, Nomade) launched in 2011 from Riza Tansu is a result of long and detailed design work taking over a year. First starting with the conceptual design, then working closely with the client, designing towards their needs, but also retaining the company’s unique design philosophy and style overall. Riza Tansu favors large open decks and amenities in the exteriors as the motor yacht Preference, is primarily intended for Mediterranean use. Her naval architect is Kerim Acar, with both exterior and interior design by the Tansu Yachts´ in-house team.

A particular focus of the company when it comes the 36.40-meter Preference is the very pronounced design emphasis, as they obsess over every detail, both in exteriors and interiors. The Preference superyacht can sleep up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms and accommodate a crew of seven.

The Mothership series yachts, such as the luxury yacht Preference, are built around the open spaces, especially suited for Mediterranean use. In contrast to the traditional yachting sense, interior volumes are not maximized but enclosed, rather, the owner’s needs are met in an optimum interior volume, and exterior spaces are emphasized. Keeping the interiors on the optimum also allows the designers and the architects to be very generous in the exterior spaces and dimensions.

Onboard Preference, there is a maximum amount of space for storage, both on decks and in the interiors. There is also a lazarette on the aft for storing diving and technical equipment. The yacht tenders are exposed, and a central part of the design idea.

Boasting a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, the 119´ Riza Tansu Preference is powered by 2 Caterpillar C32 engines 1940hp each. She can reach the maximum speed of 16 knots and cruise at 11.5 knots. Her beam is of 7.40m (24´28´´) and her draught of 2.20m (7′ 3″).
