About us
Tufan and Brothers is an engineering-driven yacht building and project management company specializing in high-end steel and aluminum yachts designed for long-range, all-weather performance. With a core expertise in naval architecture, structural integrity, and advanced systems integration, the company delivers yachts engineered to meet the highest international standards.
From optimizing mechanical systems, propulsion solutions, and classification requirements, Tufan and Brothers ensures every vessel performs with precision and reliability. The company excels in managing complex build processes, coordinating seamlessly between shipyards, designers, engineers and clients.
Supported by a proprietary online project management platform, all stages from budgeting and technical documentation to quality control and timeline forecasting are executed with clarity and accountability.
The result is a fleet of powerful, resilient yachts where engineering excellence meets refined aesthetics, crafted for owners who demand both performance and beauty on every voyage.
AI-supported project management
One connected environment for every stage of a build, never a substitute for engineering judgment, only a way to reach it faster.
Schedules, budgets, procurement and quality-control records live in a single system our own naval architects and project managers built around how a yacht actually gets constructed. It surfaces the right number, drawing or milestone the moment someone on the team needs it, turning twenty years of hands-on experience into decisions made in minutes rather than days.

Expertise
Every discipline a yacht build actually requires, under one roof.
Naval architecture and marine engineering sit at the centre of everything we do, every other discipline below exists to carry that engineering intent through construction, compliance and delivery without it getting diluted along the way.
Project Management
Owner representation across budgeting, scheduling, procurement and quality control, from first drawing to delivery.
New Building
Full-scope new-construction management for steel and aluminium yachts built for long-range, all-weather performance.
Refit
Structural, mechanical and systems refits coordinated between shipyard, designers and owner.
Design
Naval architecture and exterior design carried from concept through construction documentation.
Marine Engineering
Structural integrity, propulsion and systems integration engineered to classification requirements.
Consulting
Independent technical and commercial advice for owners, shipyards and industry partners.
Interior Design
Interior architecture and outfitting coordinated by a dedicated interior management team.
Concept Development
Early-stage concept and feasibility work that sets the technical and aesthetic brief.
Cost visibility, by discipline
The same platform that tracks schedules also breaks down cost by category in real time, so budget decisions are made from actual numbers, not estimates.
Sample — expense by cost category
Sample — expense share by category
Every stage, connected

What clients say
“Tufan Avşar acted as Project Manager and Owners' Representative during our vessel's refit, from November 2013 to March 2016. His grasp of the profession and his negotiating skills were essential to the result, and his purposeful attitude kept every effort focused on the owners' goals.”
Captain Steve Thomas — Motor Yacht FADLALLAH
“I know Tufan and Brothers for 18 years now. I worked with them on various projects including the interior design of the sailing yacht Levantin, the refit of Tansu Mission Class, Dali and naval architecture and the building of Tansu design, Muzo’s 20 and Muzo’s 24. They also worked as our consultant to prepare technical specifications, cost analysis and developed schedules for the building process for some of our projects - 50 meters and 28 meters - during the design process. They were always reliable, resourceful and on time. Tufan and Brothers is a delight to work with – a team player with a positive attitude all the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again if the possibility arose.”
Rıza Tansu — Tansu Yachts
“Dear Tufan, I would like to thank you for your participation on the Project “REM” as Project Manager. Even more experienced version of you, have made the result an example of perfection. She has reached the goals of appreciation by the owners, the yard and all of our team. A new hull concept with dual speed regime, RINA commercial classification, beautiful interiors, very neat engineering works on both systems and electrical as well as the outfit and general construction quality at the top level achieved by your engineering and managerial skills.”
İbrahim Karataş — Karatas Yacht Design
“During the last 2 years, I worked with Tufan for one of his project nice SUV of the seas for some special Customers of the growing Far East market. It was a pleasure to meet such a commitment and knowledgeable effort to satisfy a fast delivery challenge and the following up service and assistance. He is doing great in a very professional and kind manner with the yacht's problems so my way of thinking about him is as a problem solver! I feel comfortable into recommend him as a professional in the yacht business.”
