Following  sea  trails  and  a  quick  delivery  to  OMV,  Mazu’s  exclusive European  dealer based  in  France,  the  52HT  will  make  her  debut  at  the 2018  Cannes  Yachting  Festival and  Monaco  Yacht  Show.

“The  major  construction  work  is  complete  and  the  interiors  are  well  advanced,” says  Halit Yukay,  Mazu  CEO  and  lead  designer.  “We  are  just  awaiting  delivery  of  the  Opacmare Transformer  aft  platform,  after  which  we  will  start  the  engine  installation  and  the  painting process.”  

The  52HT  is  built  of  carbon  composite  in  a  lightweight  sandwich  construction  for  rigidity and  strength.  Offering  generous interior  volume  and  deck  space,  plus  an  open-sided, carbon  composite  hardtop  for  protection  from  the  summer  sun,  the  new  model  continues the  handcrafted,  superyacht  feel  of  the  Mazu  range  with enhanced  onboard  comfort  for extended  overnight  cruising.

In  addition  to  the  large  foredeck,  protected  cockpit,  open  aft  deck  and  swim  platform, the interior  layout  provides  for  two  guest  cabins  with  separate  bathroom  facilities  and a spacious  dinette/lounge  area.  

Luxuriously  soft  Foglizzo  leathers  appear  throughout  the  interior  and  the  restrooms feature  5mm  Bianca  marble  veneers  atop  a  lightweight  aluminium  substrate.  

Powered  by  twin  Volvo  IPS  800  engines  (600hp  each),  the  52HT  will  have  a  top  speed of  36  knots  and  a  cruising  speed  of  32  knots.  

“The  idea  was  to  develop  a  52-footer  with  the  space,  performance,  and  interior  comfort and  finish  of  a  much  bigger  boat,” says  Halit  Yukay.  “Combined  with  her  carbon construction  and  low  centre  of  gravity  for optimal  stability  and  seakeeping,  we  believe this new  addition  to  the  Mazu  fleet  represents  excellent  value  in  terms  of  quality  and  price. We  have  great  hopes  for  the  52HT  at  the  coming  boat  shows!”

The  base  price  of  the  52HT  starts  at  €890,000.
