She lives up to her name which means ‘explorer’ in Turkish, and is revealed to have strong, bold lines from bow to stern. Emrecan Ozgun of Unique Yachts commented, “Kasif embodied the true spirit of an explorer, has exceptional maritime performance and can navigate in the harshest conditions”. Her expansive outdoor decks provide guests with a plethora of seating areas to choose from and offer unobstructed, panoramic views.

Her interiors have been designed by Hot Lab in close collaboration with the new owners. Enrico Lumini from Milan-based Hot Lab commented, “The owners, who actively participated in every aspect, brought a unique vision to the table. Our collaboration transcended traditional client – designer relationships, evolving into insightful discussions that shaped every facet of the design. The result is a modern yet timeless aesthetic, seamlessly blending contemporary geometries with elements reflecting the owners’ passions”.
