YACHTS & YACHTING
INTRODUCING THE MAZU 62 :
THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE MAZU FLEET
The new Mazu 62 completes the line-up of 6 luxury hard-top and open models offered by the Turkish brand . The first , the Mazu 38 , was launched in 2017 and was followed up by the 42 , 52 , 82 and now the 62 . The flagship model , the Mazu 92DS , is currently in build .
With her sporty lines and military-style paintwork , the Mazu 62 is ideal for overnight or weekend trips , or as a chase boat for superyachts . She also highlights the trademark design features of the Mazu range with large hull windows , expansive deck space and a very spacious interior layout .
The design actually started as a 58-footer but was increased in size to provide more deck area and interior volume for higher comfort .
The main deck layout , for example , features four distinct but connected and convivial open-air areas :
- a foredeck lounge with forward-facing bench seat and two hi-lo tables that can be lowered and fitted with in-fill cushions to increase the size of the sun-pads ;
- a central helm station with dinette and three wrap-around seating and bar unit under the shade of the hardtop ;
- an aft cockpit furnished with comfy sofas and low tables ( alternatively the aft deck can carry a tender and toys );
- an ample swim platform for easy access to the sea .
“ In case of the first unit the lower deck accommodates three cabins with ensuite bathrooms ,” says Halit Yukay , yacht designer and CEO of Mazu Yachts . “ All three cabins are of equal size , but clients can also choose to have a two-cabin layout with a full-beam owner ’ s suite amidships .”
Other interior amenities include a roomy dinette and galley , an extra day-head for guests and even a two-man crew cabin behind the engine compartment .
“ The boat has space to accomodate numerous day guests , but despite her huge volume she is extremely fast and amazingly stable on the water ,” adds Halit Yukay .
In fact , powered by Volvo Penta IPS 1350 drives , the most powerful in the IPS line-up offering excellent performance and efficiency as well as easy handling and maneuverability , the Mazu 62 has a top speed of 43 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots .
Needless to say , the new model is built using Mazu ’ s signature carbon-composite sandwich construction for maximum rigidity and strength .
