Turkish shipyard RMK Yachts has announced the opening of a new office in Miami, marking a strategic milestone in the company's expansion in the United States, one of the world's most important superyacht markets.
Located within the RMK-Merrill Stevens shipyard in Miami, one of South Florida's most established superyacht refit and repair facilities, the new office establishes a permanent operational and client-facing presence in the region. The move reflects RMK Yachts' long-term commitment to building closer relationships with the U.S.-based clients while providing direct, on-the-ground support throughout every stage of yacht ownership.
The Miami office will work in close coordination with RMK-Merrill Stevens and will also be supported by RMK Yachts' U.S. representative and broker, Juan Morillo, ensuring seamless communication and responsive service for American clients.
"For U.S. clients, proximity is not simply a preference, it is a matter of trust," said Cuneyt Okcu, Director of RMK Yachts. "Having a physical presence there means being accessible, accountable, and responsive, particularly when it comes to after-sales support and warranty services."
The decision to establish a Miami office reflects a clear understanding of the priorities of American yacht owners, who place significant value on having a trusted local representative connected directly to the shipyard. By expanding its presence in the U.S., RMK Yachts reinforces its commitment to transparency, long-term support, and client confidence.
The opening also aligns with RMK Yachts' broader strategy to expand its global footprint and strengthen its position among the world's leading yacht builders. This move helps the shipyard offer clients not only distinctive design and engineering excellence, but also a service network built to meet the highest international standards.
