FDC’s New Yacht Will Be the Only 92-Footer That Can Store Helicopters

FDC Yachts

FDC Yachts is ready to prove that good things come in four not three.

The Turkish yard just added a fourth model to the Aluna line of multi-purpose monohulls. Spanning 92 feet, the simply named Aluna 92 sits between the Aluna 87 and the Aluna 127 on the cusp of superyacht status.

As with its predecessors, the newcomer is the product of a long and fruitful relationship between FDC and Red Yacht Design. The UK studio penned the exterior, opting for the sleek, sporty lines that are characteristic of the Aluna range. The Aluna 127 also has the same emphasis on space and comfort as the rest of the Aluna models.

“We are thrilled to collaborate once again with Red Yacht Design on the creation of the Aluna 92,” FDC Yachts director Eyup Ozbelen said in a statement. “Together, we aim to deliver a yacht that not only exceeds expectations but also redefines the very essence of luxury on the water.”

FDC says the Aluna 92 will be the first yacht in its class capable of accommodating helicopters. The vessel features a large touch-and-go helipad on the aft deck that can welcome large choppers capable of carrying up to four passengers, meaning that it can facilitate far more elevated comings and goings than its competitors. The aft deck is also equipped with a large lounge and an alfresco dining area for open-air soirees.

Other exterior highlights include a sprawling sundeck adorned with sunbeds and an expandable beach club with direct ocean access. FDC has also opted to include see-through bulwarks on some exterior decks to provide seafarers with panoramic ocean views.

The interior is equally as spacious and luxurious. The generous cabins can sleep up to eight guests, with the lavish full-beam owner’s suite transforming into separate cabins if additional accommodations are required. Such flexibility renders the Aluna 92 suitable for charter.

“We are confident that the Aluna 92 will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning yachtsmen,” added managing partner of Red Yacht Design Faith Surekli.

FDC says construction on the first Aluna 92 is scheduled to commence by the end of this summer.
