26th March 2012
RMK MARINE YACHT KARIA NOMINATED FOR 4 SHOWBOATS
DESIGN AWARDS
The RMK Marine build Karia, the 45m Motoryacht designed by Ron Holland with
interior by Design Unlimited has been nominated in an impressive 4 separate
categories in the prestigious Showboats Design Awards.
The beautiful recently launched yacht has been nominated in Interior Design Award,
Exterior Design & Styling, Recreational Space Designed for Guest use and Interior
Layout categories.
The ShowBoats Design Awards was specifically devised to judge and recognise the
designers responsible for the individual elements of a superyacht. Aspects of the most
impressive yachts launched in the preceding calendar year are scrutinised and judged
by a panel of design experts.
RMK Marine is delighted with this nomination which follows on from the recent
selection of Karia as a finalist from numerous nominations in the hotly contested
World Superyacht Awards.
Designed for the experienced
yacht owner for long distance
voyaging, Karia has been built
to extremely high quality and
specifications with long term
low maintenance as a priority
requirement.
Particular
attention has been given to
ensure an efficient and sea
kindly hull design, low
vibration and noise and
exceptional interior volume for a 45m yacht.
There are a number of features that separate this yacht from many others. The 500GT
sized yacht, has an exceptional use of space to maximise comfort with light, airy and
versatile spaces for up to 12 guests. The owners are afforded plenty of privacy on the
master deck and the yacht incorporates a swimming platform aft and 2 tenders stored
under the foredeck. RMK4500 Karia is also for sale and visitors have been
tremendously impressed with the design, content and the quality of construction.
RMK Marine has previously won several awards for yachts built at the yard. The
beautiful 52m ketch Nazenin V was honoured with the Judges Special Commendation
prize at the World Superyacht Awards in 2010 and the Vripack designed Caressa K
also won an International Superyacht Society award in 2006.
RMK Marine stated, “We are very proud that this beautiful
yacht has been recognised in these categories and pleased
that the judges also appreciated the superb quality and
design of this elegant yacht”.
With the investments in its infrastructure and facilities as
well as in its labour force RMK Marine has continued to
raise the level of the Turkish superyacht construction
industry. RMK Marine offer great quality and service,
whatever the structural material; from aluminium such as
used for Nazenin V to steel & aluminium for Karia or
composites as used for the Oyster superyachts.
The winners of the 2012 awards will be announced during a glittering gala evening at
the Monaco Opera House on June 22, in front of a VIP audience of yacht owners and
industry professionals from around the globe.
