The 120-metre superyacht NB012 is progressing through construction at Turkish shipyard AKYACHT, marking one of the largest private yacht projects currently underway in Türkiye.
According to SuperYacht Times, the yacht is being built in steel and aluminium and is designed as a full custom project. Once completed, NB012 will rank among the largest yachts ever constructed by the shipyard.
The vessel measures 120 metres in length and is expected to feature a large internal volume suited for long-range private use. While detailed specifications remain limited, the yacht is being developed as a high-end superyacht rather than a commercial or support platform.
Construction is taking place at AKYACHT’s facilities in Tuzla, an area that has become a growing hub for large-yacht construction in recent years. The project reflects the shipyard’s increasing focus on larger, more complex builds.
Sources reports that NB012 is being constructed on speculation, meaning it is not yet tied to a publicly announced owner. Speculative builds at this scale are relatively rare and typically signal strong confidence in future market demand.
The yacht’s design team and interior designer have not been publicly disclosed. This level of confidentiality is common for projects of this size, particularly during early construction phases.
AKYACHT has steadily expanded its portfolio over the past decade, moving from smaller custom yachts into the 70-metre-plus segment. The construction of a 120-metre project represents a significant step up in scale and technical ambition for the shipyard.
No delivery timeline or projected launch date has been announced.
