Dunya Yachts unveils first renderings of Project Faith
Dunya Yachts has published the initial renderings for Project Faith, an 88-metre superyacht currently under construction at the shipyard’s Istanbul facilities. The build has reached a significant milestone with hull and superstructure now joined, and the yard has set a delivery target for 2028.
Project Faith represents the yard’s largest undertaking to date, followed in their portfolio by the 72.5‑metre Axioma, which is presently listed for sale. The vessel is being constructed in steel with aluminium superstructure and is classed at 2,560 gross tonnes.
Tim Heywood exterior with Van Oossanen naval architecture
Project Faith’s exterior lines are the work of British designer Tim Heywood, who has produced a strong profile with subtle curvature and contemporary proportions. Van Oossanen Naval Architects is responsible for the naval architecture, integrating the hull form and appendages to meet stability, seakeeping and efficiency targets.
The yacht’s exterior is configured to support multiple exterior decks and large glazed areas while maintaining performance objectives. Structural choices and the hull geometry reflect the collaboration between stylistic intent and naval engineering required on a vessel of this scale.
Luxurious interiors by H2 Yacht Design with mezzanine focus
British studio H2 Yacht Design is handling the interior concept, which uses organic shapes, natural stone finishes and a palette influenced by sand and sea tones. A prominent interior feature is a circular mezzanine that links the main saloon to the upper deck, creating a visually connected guest experience across levels.
Additional interior highlights include a formal internal guest staircase and a principal suite of approximately 126 square metres with wraparound glazing, private office space, and direct access to a private foredeck. There is also an official entrance screened by a privacy wall to control arrivals and circulation.
Amenities, performance and delivery timeline to 2028
Accommodation is planned for 14 guests and four crew, arranged as a master suite, four VIP cabins and two further guest cabins located on the main deck. Guest amenities include a touch-and-go helideck, sundeck Jacuzzi, bridge deck sunbathing areas and an aft deck that features a large infinity pool, seating and a shaded bar.
Onboard wellness and entertainment facilities comprise a gym, a spa complex with sauna, steam room and dip pool, and formal dining adjacent to the main saloon. Project Faith measures a 13.5‑metre beam with a 3.75‑metre draft, has a maximum speed of 18 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots and a transoceanic range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles.
Project Faith status and outlook
With hull and superstructure mated and interior concepts defined, Project Faith is progressing through outfitting and systems installation toward its 2028 delivery. The combination of Tim Heywood styling, Van Oossanen naval architecture and H2 Yacht Design interiors positions the yacht to meet both aesthetic and operational expectations for an 88‑metre build.
As the vessel moves into the next construction phases at Dunya’s Istanbul facilities, further technical specifications and refined interior details are expected to follow in subsequent releases from the yard.
