Turkish shipyard Sarp Yachts has unveiled a new raised pilothouse model for its XSR series. The inaugural hull of the XSR 85 RPH has already found a buyer, with delivery scheduled for summer 2025. Collaborating on this 25.9-metre vessel are Red Yacht Design and Van Oossanen Naval Architects. The yacht distinguishes itself from earlier XSR models with its "more expansive interior and exterior spaces," featuring larger, open-plan living areas, sliding glass doors, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Accommodation is provided across five cabins, including a main deck master cabin with a private bow terrace. Leisure amenities include al fresco dining on the sundeck and lounge areas on the main deck aft and swim platform, all furnished with custom-designed furniture. "The XSR 85 RPH embodies the synergy of our partnership with Red Yacht Design, merging advanced technology with refined design to craft a yacht that elevates luxury at sea," stated Elkin Yıldırım, General Manager of Sarp Yachts. "With enhanced space and comfort, this iteration is a significant advancement for the XSR Series," he added.

Fatih Surekli, Managing Director of Red Yacht Design, further commented, "This model, with its expanded interior and exterior spaces, heralds the future of yachting. Our collaboration with Sarp Yachts has enabled us to break new ground in design and engineering, resulting in a yacht that radiates elegance and sophistication." This announcement comes on the heels of progress on Sarp Yachts' 62-metre Project Nacre. The superyacht is currently listed for sale with Denison Yachting and awaits a buyer to finalize its outfitting.
