VisionF Yachts appoints new general manager
Turkish yacht builder VisionF Yachts has strengthened its team by appointing Ali Tanir as general manager. Founded in 2019, the Istanbul-based shipyard specialises in producing composite and aluminium motor catamarans, and says it’s now poised to capitalise on Tanir’s vast experience.
“We strive to establish ourselves in the elite of the yachting world, and the new move will help us achieve this,” says Coskun Bayraktar, founder and owner of VisionF Yachts. “I believe Ali Tanir is the perfect executive for the role of our new general manager and with him leading the way we will be able to realise the most daring plans.”
Tanir has almost 20 years of experience in international operations within the yachting sector. For the past 11 years, he held various executive positions at Numarine, starting as communication and brand manager, and then moving into the roles of sales and marketing manager and head of international sales.
Prior to joining Numarine, Tanir worked for several companies and institutions in the marine industry, including Istanbul Offshore Club, Vicem Yachts, Yuka Yacht, and the UIM Class 1 Powerboating series.
In April 2022, MIN reported the launch of a 24-metre full-aluminium hybrid catamaran – the result of a collaboration between VisionF Yachts and Silent-Yachts. It was said the aim of the partnership was to share expertise and know-how to support other manufacturers, and to guide the yachting industry towards a more sustainable future.
