Project Monarca
Day Boat for Onur Kiren
The 13 meter day boat presents a sculptural approach to marine design, defined by fluid, organic lines inspired by water movement. Continuous surfaces create a distinctive identity while improving hydrodynamic performance. Compared to conventional boats in this segment, it integrates optional living and relaxation areas to enhance comfort and versatility. Opening side terraces at the aft expand deck space and strengthen the connection with the sea. Material selection and balanced colors support a refined, contemporary luxury expression.

Production Technology
The boat is designed for GRP production using female mold construction. The hull and superstructure are manufactured via vacuum infusion with E-glass reinforced laminates and foam core to ensure strength and weight efficiency. CNC-milled plugs provide precise surface geometry. Interior modules use lightweight marine panels with premium finishes, supporting durability, quality, and efficient production.
Design Challenge
The primary challenge was establishing a distinctive and recognizable identity within the compact dimensions of a 13-meter day boat while maintaining technical feasibility. The organic hull geometry demanded careful control of surface continuity and proportion. Balancing sculptural expression with hydrodynamic efficiency and practical deck functionality was essential. Integrating opening side terraces and adaptable living spaces without compromising structural integrity became a central focus of the design development.
Project Duration
The project started in Istanbul, Turkey in April 2025
Operation Flow
This 13-meter motor yacht is conceived for efficient cruising and straightforward maneuverability. Powered by an inboard engine, it delivers reliable performance together with smooth and predictable handling. The balanced hull geometry supports stability and onboard comfort, while the compact arrangement enables practical operation by small crews or private owners.
Research
Design research explores how organic hull geometry can enhance both aesthetics and usability in a 13-meter day boat. The process combined sketch development, digital surface modeling, and spatial layout studies. Information was gathered through CAD simulations, precedent analysis, and ergonomic evaluations. Concepts were reviewed by designers and experienced boat users. Findings indicated improved deck usability and stronger visual identity, highlighting the relevance of organic forms in contemporary day-boat design and luxury perception.
Inspiration
Inspired by the concept of a sovereign presence at sea, this 13-meter day boat expresses authority, elegance, and controlled power on the water. Its sculptural hull subtly echoes the noble eye contour of a ruler, symbolizing vision and awareness. Flowing lines follow the rhythm of waves, while the overall form conveys confidence and command. The design presents a contemporary interpretation of maritime strength and refined leadership.
