Verdict
A practical 24-meter custom yacht with strong day-charter capacity and a flexible 3-cabin layout, but the emphasis is clearly on guest volume rather than premium private-yacht comfort or sporty performance.
Pros
- +Large 70-guest capacity suits events and group charters
- +79 ft length offers good deck space for social use
- +3 cabins add private overnight potential
- +Custom-built format can be adapted for charter operations
Cons
- −Public specs are limited, so equipment and finish level are unclear
- −Likely more event-focused than refined for quiet private cruising
- −Handling and ride quality may be secondary to passenger capacity
- −Only 3 cabins is modest for a yacht of this size
Custom Built 78 Cengelkoy sits in the 24-meter class and is presented as a mega yacht with a strong charter-first layout. Its proportions and 2018 build date suggest a modern platform, but the available public information points more to practical entertainment use than to a highly specialized luxury cruiser.
On the water, a boat built to carry 70 guests is usually optimized for stability, deck circulation and reliable low-to-moderate-speed operation rather than aggressive performance. With no verified technical details provided, exact speed, engine output and hull behavior should be treated as unknown, so handling should be viewed as adequate for protected waters and coastal charters rather than sporty or offshore-focused.
Livability is defined by the 3-cabin arrangement, which is useful for short stays or owner/crew support but limited for a 79-foot yacht if private overnight use is the main goal. The value case depends heavily on charter mission: it looks sensible for events, sightseeing and day cruising, while buyers seeking higher-spec luxury, more accommodation or better-known engineering may find it less compelling.
