Bahar O.

Mono Yachting based in Bodrum, Türkiye announces the successful completion and ahead-of-schedule delivery of the extensive refit program for M/Y AIR, the iconic 81-metre Feadship superyacht.

Acting as the Owner’s Representative and project coordination partner, Mono Yachting supported the Owner’s Team, Captain, and Crew to manage the high-pressure technical, operational, and scheduling priorities of one of the most significant private superyacht refits completed in Türkiye.

Executed at the Akyacht shipyard, the demanding project brought together a world-class network of international contractors and suppliers. The comprehensive refit scope included:

- Engineering & Class Surveys: Major mechanical servicing, propulsion system overhauls, and tank maintenance.
- Exterior Painting Excellence: A full superstructure paint program and execution of the yacht's signature matte black hull coating, delivered in collaboration with world-leading paint specialists Pinmar, flown in from Spain.
- Lifestyle Upgrades: Premium interior and layout improvements.

Ersun Şengun, founder of Mono Yachting says that "Large yacht refit is a daily exercise in control - managing time, budget, quality, and owner expectations simultaneously. The ahead-of-schedule delivery of a pedigree yacht like M/Y AIR demonstrates what can be achieved with disciplined planning and transparent communication."

While the company has a proven track record managing technical support and agency operations for notable yachts - including MMM, La Dea II, Silver Dream, Aurora, Axioma, and Luna (ex Dar)- the completion of M/Y AIR marks a definitive milestone.
