The collaboration marks a milestone for both companies and combines Hydro Tec's expertise in design and construction with Dunya's reputation for high-quality yacht building. The goal is superyacht standard in all areas. Hydro Tec 48 metre "Sagasu".
Design with a maritime heritage
The name Valiant is a tribute to the legendary ship of the British Navy that served in both world wars. Now this heritage is combined with modern yacht construction. The almost horizontal outer lines of Hydro Tec are classic, while the rounded, high-contrast shapes of the superstructure are clearly inspired by the automotive industry.
Japan meets Scandinavia
The owners sleep in a forward-facing suite with a fireplace, lounge and private terrace. The way there is via side sliding glass doors. The sun loungers and sofas are complemented by a jacuzzi with a spectacular waterfall.
The interior combines Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth. The renderings show light-coloured woods, marble accents and staircases with crystal and gold embellishments. The dining area in the main salon is also remarkable, with an open-plan kitchen, arched windows and a balcony for spontaneous al fresco dining.
Two industry giants pull together
Sedat Ergün, founder and president of Dunya Yachts: "Sergio Cutolo is a long-time friend and a designer I have always admired. Sergio and his team are extremely talented at what they do. And the success of their work speaks for itself."
It was a pleasure to finally work with Hydro Tec on a design: "There are many impressive features on the yacht, including the spacious outdoor and indoor areas for guests on the lower level. These allow for a deeper connection to the ocean in an enhanced level of luxury."
Milestone for Hydro Tec
For Sergio Cutolo, founder and president of Hydro Tec, the collaboration with Dunya Yachts also represents a milestone: "I have always respected the shipyard's ability to deliver yachts of exceptional quality that combine craftsmanship with vision. This partnership allows us to combine our design philosophy with Dunya's expertise to create an elegant and innovative yacht."
