43m Orion One reaches construction milestone

A construction milestone has been reached on the 43-metre Orion One, currently being built at Orion Yachts' facility in Yalova, Turkey. The hull and superstructure are now complete, with work on the electrical systems, piping and insulation underway. Delivery is scheduled for the end of 2025.

Red Yacht Design is responsible for the interior and exterior design of the 480GT yacht, characterised by a flared bow, cascading aft decks and generous lines of glazing.

Interior renderings reveal the use of light woods and a neutral colour scheme offset by aquamarine and emerald details.

"The choice of light colours, the playful infusion of tones, and the thoughtful incorporation of contemporary elements aim to provide a serene yet dynamic setting for discerning yacht enthusiasts," added Cana Gokhan of Red Yacht Design.

There is a total of five cabins including the owner's cabin, arranged in a way that makes Orion One suitable for use as a charter yacht.

Naval architecture on the new yacht has been completed by Alfa Marine Engineering. Special consideration has been given to the use of al fresco areas, with key features including a foredeck sunpad area and Portuguese bridge, plus a sundeck with a unique waterfall installation that feeds water into the dip pool.

Orion One will be the first vessel built under the Orion Yachts brand, the superyacht branch of Hersek Gemi.

In recent news, Nebula Yacht turned the hull on its 63.5-metre project All About U, which promises to "reimagine conventional norms" with its layout inspired by sailing vessels. Red Yacht Design is responsible for the interiors.
