The former heavy lift vessel "Super Servant 3" has been converted into a private yacht at the Turkish shipyard Karmarine.
Renamed:
OK (Osman Karadeniz)During three years at the shipyard, she has been converted into a partially submersible superyacht.
As a transport vessel, this feature proved very useful for both stern and side loading, and is also what attracted Bozca's attention.
To have a superyacht that can submerge almost 70% of its surface and yet maintain full area functionality the rest of the time is something no other explorer yacht can do.
Karmarine reinforced the large open aft deck so that, when it emerges above water level, it can carry up to 70 different water toys, including multiple tenders, buggies, amphibious vehicles, a seaplane and a 46-meter yacht.
It also has a convenient car ramp, so it is possible to drive land vehicles on board and take them to the next destination.
The large open-air garage can be used without submerging the aft deck, thanks to a 40-ton crane that allows most of the toys on board to be launched and picked up.
When the deck is not being used as a garage, the 20 guests on board can use it for leisure activities in an open space of 3,300 square meters.
