110 years of industrial excellence, now crafting the future of maritime luxury
In 1916, on the northern shores of Turkey, the Inebolu Shipyard was born. What began as a humble maritime workshop during the final years of the Ottoman Empire would evolve into one of Turkey's most respected industrial legacies.
For over a century, the KARAVELIOGLU COMPANY GROUP has built vessels that have served industries across the nation—from heavy cargo ships to specialized industrial craft. Each vessel carried the same commitment to quality that our founders established over 110 years ago.
Today, from our modern Tuzla shipyard in Istanbul, we channel this heritage into a new chapter: precision-engineered luxury aluminum yachts. The same dedication to craftsmanship, the same uncompromising standards—now serving those who seek the ultimate in maritime elegance.
The Karavelioglu family establishes its first shipyard on Turkey's Black Sea coast, beginning a legacy of maritime excellence.
Post-war growth drives expansion into larger cargo vessels and specialized industrial craft, building the company's reputation.
The group pioneers aluminum construction techniques, recognizing the material's superior properties for marine applications.
Modern shipyard established in Tuzla, Istanbul, equipped with state-of-the-art aluminum fabrication capabilities.
The luxury yacht division launches, bringing 110 years of expertise to the world of premium aluminum vessel construction.
We believe true luxury lies in the details—in the precision of every weld, the quality of every fitting, the thoughtfulness of every design decision. Our yachts are not mass-produced; they are crafted.
Marine-grade 5083 aluminum delivers exceptional structural integrity at a fraction of the weight of traditional materials. This translates to better performance, fuel efficiency, and handling.
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable. When our yachts eventually complete their service—decades from now—every component can be fully recycled. Luxury with responsibility.
110 years of industrial shipbuilding inform every aspect of our yacht construction. We understand materials, structures, and the sea in ways that newcomers cannot replicate.
Behind every KarVelli yacht is a team of dedicated professionals who bring generations of experience to their craft.
Our design team combines traditional naval architecture principles with modern computational analysis for optimal performance and safety.
Aluminum welding is an art form. Our certified welders have decades of experience creating flawless, watertight hulls.
Luxury interiors crafted by designers who understand how people live aboard. Every space is optimized for comfort and elegance.
