About
Türknotik is a design studio, mainly specialized in yacht design as well as other marine vessels.
Actually, we prefer to say “Nautical Design” to our governor work frame which covers the architectural and engineering design facilities both for all kind of marine vessels. Like this inter-disciplinary work frame, our team formed by designers and engineers with strong academic and practical backgrounds. As a strong supporter of objective science, our ethical approach is always searching for the best solution without any prejudice thinking and provide the most up-to-date service for styling, interior design, naval architecture, project management and consultancy.
We proudly announce that, Türknotik excluding the various kind of design and completed projects, having transferred its accumulated wisdom to the realm of education, has laid the groundwork for the establishment of a new branch of science.
That is our difference: The responsibility of leadership!
Through this interdisciplinary vision, our approachment is to focus on the big picture, methodically and repeatedly going through every element of the process. Every single detail has minor or major importance in the whole project. Marine vessels have design and engineering layers and we could easily feel these two layers at same time with such as the beautiful exterior design with high seakeeping performance or cozy interior design with high efficient hull design, etc.
