ares yachts

Ares Yachts is a dedicated superyacht division of the established Turkish shipbuilder ARES Shipyard, which was founded in 2006 by the Kalafatoğlu family. While the parent company built a formidable reputation over two decades as a leading provider of naval, utility, and support vessels—delivering over 230 ships to more than 15 countries—the ARES Yachts brand was officially launched at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show to formalize its entry into the luxury superyacht market. Based in the Antalya Free Zone, the shipyard operates from an expansive 40,000-square-metre, air-conditioned production facility equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including dedicated carpentry, composite, metal, and electrical workshops. This infrastructure allows the yard to manage full-custom and semi-custom projects up to 90 metres in length under one roof, ensuring high levels of quality control and engineering precision. The brand specializes in high-performance, technologically advanced superyachts, often incorporating hybrid propulsion systems. Notable projects include the 62-metre flagship sailing ketch Simena, the 50-metre motor yacht Spitfire, and the 54-metre explorer yacht project Atlas. ARES Shipyard is recognized for its commitment to sustainability, holding the prestigious Zero Waste Blue Certificate, and maintains ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications. The company is currently fully operational, leveraging its deep-rooted engineering culture from the defense sector to deliver reliable, high-quality luxury vessels to the global market.
