Embarking on Excellence: The New Chapter
Kerem Baser, the managing director, expressed his enthusiasm:
"Beyond the boat's rich history, what truly warms our hearts at KRM is the return of a valued client. A decade ago, we made a refit to his previous yacht, and now, after he wanted to change her, he once again chose us without hesitation. This gesture means the world to the KRM family, a testament to our commitment to excellence and dedication. She stood as one of the era's largest and most remarkable vessels, a shining pinnacle of maritime achievement on a global scale at the time she was being crafted four decades ago by the esteemed Turkish shipyard, Proteksan (Turquoise). Thus, it is with profound honor that we extend a heartfelt welcome to her, back to her native shores."
The captain of Costa Magna voiced his thoughts:
“I had my first experience with “KRM Yacht Refit” during the winter of 2013 with my previous Couach 28 Open, of which I had been the captain for over 10 years.
The yacht underwent a considerable refit operation that winter. The owner and I owner were extremely pleased with the exceptional services provided by KRM Yacht Refit, and we found their level of expertise and trustworthiness truly remarkable.
During the refit, we were particularly impressed by the following key factors:
Sticking to the Initial Budget: KRM Yacht Refit demonstrated their commitment to excellence by adhering to the initial budget with an astonishing precision of within 3%.
Timely Work Execution: Their dedication to meeting deadlines was outstanding, completing the 20-week operation within just 2 weeks of the projected timeframe.
Continuous Briefings: Throughout the entire refit process, the team leaders from their various in-house workshops provided us with continuous and detailed briefings, ensuring that we were always kept well-informed.
Superior Quality Materials and Craftsmanship: The quality of materials used and the craftsmanship exhibited by their teams exceeded our expectations, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Based on this exceptional experience, we are delighted to entrust KRM Yacht Refit with yet another significant project: the full refit of Motor Yacht Costa Magna (formerly known as Belesbat Queen), a magnificent 44.5-meter beauty built by Proteksan İstanbul in 1983.
Having embarked on an incredible 40 year worldwide journey, the yacht is now back in İstanbul for an enchanting full refit. We couldn't be more excited to witness her returning to her roots and shining brighter than ever before.
Our confidence in KRM Yacht Refit is unwavering, and we have no doubt that they will once again deliver unparalleled results. We eagerly anticipate seeing Motor Yacht Costa Magna restored to her former glory, and we wholeheartedly trust in the expertise and dedication of the KRM Yacht team to achieve this vision.”
