Meet Echo - a 61-meter concept from Turquoise Yachts

This is a yacht with "restrained flair and unrestrained performance."

Istanbul-based shipyard Turquoise Yachts has officially unveiled its new concept, the 61-metre Echo, created by ER Yacht Design.

The Echo features a modern profile with recognizable tapering aft decks, as well as a distinctive inverted bow and extended glazing.

Turquoise Yachts described the concept, which is the result of its first collaboration with ER Yacht Design, as a yacht with “restrained flair and unrestrained performance.”

Echo can accommodate up to 12 guests in six staterooms on the main deck. The master cabin occupies almost the entire upper deck, which is glazed almost to the full height of the vessel. An additional seven cabins are intended for 14 crew members.

Echo also boasts a six meter aft and bow pool with space for up to 35 guests. The main and upper decks of the vessel are connected by stairs.

“It was a great pleasure for us to develop this unique and unusual design for Turquoise Yachts. The elegance and simplicity with the sculptural elements around the hull and the openings in the superstructure give the yacht a special character,” commented Ivan Erdevitzky, President of ER Yacht Design.

Echo has a beam of 10.5 metres, a draft of 2.7 metres and a displacement of 899 GT. The vessel is powered by two 1080 kW engines. The yacht has a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 27 knots.
