The Custom Ketch Motorsailer m is a unique, high-volume sailing superyacht model from the Turkish shipyard Pax Navi Yachts. Built in (and often subsequently refitted), this vessel was engineered to provide the immense stability and long-range comfort of a classic long-keeler while offering the modern luxury and vast accommodation space typically found on a much larger motor yacht. It is characterized by its robust steel hull and traditional ketch rig.
The Custom Ketch Motorsailer m is a meter ( ) steel-hulled sailing yacht, designed by Erkin Yagci to maximize volume and capability (277 GT). The vessel is distinguished by its twin aluminum masts (a m main and m mizzen) with a simplified, semi-automated sail system, making it easy to handle. The layout is a key selling point, providing a volume equivalent to a m sailing yacht by cleverly utilizing the hull shape. The interior, styled with rich mahogany wood and bold, contemporary fabrics (often in golds, pinks, and greens), features flexible accommodation with five spacious cabins. Exterior leisure areas are maximized, including an expansive aft deck with an integrated Jacuzzi and ample sunpads.
