Hull and superstructure joined on Dynamiq's new 50m flagship

The first hull in Dynamiq's flagship new 50-metre GTT 165 has had its hull and superstructure joined in Antalya, Turkey. Originally signed as a smaller GTT 160, the model was developed and upgraded throughout the design process.

The first unit was sold to a North European buyer in June 2022 and the broker, Pierre Badin of Denison Yachting's Monaco office, helped arrange the official keel laying in July 2023. The yacht is on track to be delivered in March 2025 and will go on to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show later in the same year.

The yacht is a member of the Gran Turismo Transatlantic (GTT) series and features naval architecture from Dutch studio Vripack.

Despite its increased length, the yacht will maintain a GT under 499 and an all-aluminium build coupled with carbon fibre elements will help keep the yacht's overall weight as low as possible.

Thanks to twin 625 kW Volvo Penta engines, the top speeds are predicted at over 16 knots, while a nautical mile range of 5,000 will give the model an ocean-crossing capacity. Particular attention has been paid to the yacht's aerodynamic design, with a fast-displacement round bilge hull and a signature Dynamiq avant-garde exterior.

The GTT 165 features six spacious guest cabins, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom on the main deck, which is finished in a relaxed Maldivian style. Elsewhere, key features include an open-air beach club complete with a 12-person pool and unfolding terraces.

“We are extremely happy to welcome another savvy client to the Dynamiq family who shares our passion for innovation, efficiency and contemporary design,” said Dynamiq CEO and exterior designer, Sergei Dobroserdov.

The Turkish shipyard recently announced that it is now offering refit services for superyachts up to 65 metres.

The first vessel to participate in the refit program is the 38.6-metre Spring (ex Jetsetter).
