Mengi Yay has announced the sale of the first unit from its Nuvolari Lenard Plus 52 yacht model. The yacht, designed by renowned Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard, is currently under construction at Mengi Yay's facilities in Istanbul and is scheduled for delivery in 2027.
The 52.6-metre superyacht, project named NB114 redefines open-air living through exterior spaces that seamlessly blend elegance, comfort, and a strong connection to the sea. As such, an expansive beach club dominates the aft, transforming over the water with fold-out platforms and an integrated custom pool at water level. Directly below, the lower-deck wellness area provides a private retreat complete with a sauna, fitness space, and a serene relaxation lounge dedicated to personal wellbeing.
“The contributions of Dan Lenard and Carlo Nuvolari have always brought forward-thinking ideas and a strong design vision to our projects,” said Mengi Yay CEO Hüseyin Mengi. “We are excited to continue this successful collaboration and to realise even greater achievements together.”
Naval architect and co-founder Carlo Nuvolari said, “With the Nuvolari Lenard PLUS 52, our fourth project together, this collaboration with Mengi Yay continues to grow through shared values, trust, and a long-term vision.”
Interior spaces reflect Nuvolari Lenard’s refined aesthetic infused with the youthful spirit of Mediterranean living. The NL Plus series embodies Nuvolari Lenard’s thirty years of design expertise, combining modern lines, strong character, certified sustainable interior solutions, and increasingly efficient hull forms for reduced consumption and environmental impact. Positioned under the 500 GT threshold at 52 metres, the NB 114 offers the unique advantage of shortened delivery times without compromising on full customisation. The project was thoroughly pre-developed with Van Oossanen and Mengi Yay, allowing clients to join the process at an advanced construction stage while still receiving a truly bespoke yacht delivered on time.
Following this successful sale, Mengi Yay is now preparing to begin construction of the second Nuvolari Lenard Plus 52 hull.
