Azurine Yachting - Yacht Refit, Rebuild & Maintenance

Overview

Azurine Yachting provides yacht refit, rebuild, maintenance and management services from Türkiye's Aegean coast. The company was founded in 2019 by yacht captain and marine professional Fethi Kasırga, and operates on a single principle: one company for all the needs of your yacht.

Technical Services

Its technical division, Azurine Technic, works from a facility inside D-Marin Didim, one of the best equipped marinas on the Aegean coast. Azurine Technic handles complete refit and rebuild programmes, covering structural work, interior refits, painting and coating systems, osmosis treatment, and mechanical and electrical renewal, along with full drydock periods.

Routine and planned maintenance is carried out to the same standard, keeping yachts ready for each cruising season and protecting their long term value. The team also provides newbuild project management, overseeing shipyard operations on the owner's behalf to protect quality, engineering standards and contractual terms.

Their work includes the delivery and ongoing conversion of a 909 GT catamaran. The vessel was brought 6,000 nautical miles from the Gulf of Thailand to Didim and is now being rebuilt into one of the largest privately owned catamarans in the world. The project has encompassed a flag transfer to the Marshall Islands, a classification transition from Bureau Veritas to RINA, and a complete interior rebuild. 

Full-Service Yacht Management

Alongside its technical work, Azurine Yachting delivers full service yacht management from its head office in Bodrum.

Their services cover:

• Technical management
• Planned maintenance scheduling
• Crew recruitment and payroll
• Marina coordination
• Budget planning
• Contractor supervision
• Regulatory compliance
• Financial administration

Owners deal with one point of contact rather than a dozen separate suppliers, with transparent reporting throughout.

Fethi Kasırga began his career in yachting in 1997 and progressed from deck trainee to yacht captain aboard private and charter vessels internationally. Since 2008 he has led refit, maintenance, newbuild and yacht transaction projects. He holds a Yacht Master Licence, a Marine Surveyor Diploma from Lloyd's Maritime Academy and NACE Coating Inspector Level 2 certification.

Yacht Crew Turkey

Azurine Yachting is also the founder of Yacht Crew Turkey, the country's first dedicated human resources platform for the yachting industry, connecting qualified captains, engineers and crew with employers across the sector.

Working to international standards with an established network of trusted partners, Azurine Yachting offers owners and captains a reliable technical base in Türkiye, whether for a full refit programme, seasonal maintenance, or year round management of a yacht kept in the Mediterranean.
