Dunya Yachts and Hydro Tec announce exclusive partnership on the Valiant concept
Dunya Yachts and Hydro Tec are proud to announce their partnership on Valiant, the 80-meter superyacht concept first unveiled by Hydro Tec in 2024 and now to be presented exclusively by Dunya Yachts as part of its portfolio of bespoke projects.
The collaboration marks the beginning of a new chapter for Valiant, transforming the visionary design by Hydro Tec into a concept that Dunya Yachts will propose to its select clientele. Bringing together Hydro Tec’s internationally recognized expertise in design and naval architecture with Dunya’s reputation for uncompromising yacht construction, the partnership embodies the highest standards of creativity, craftsmanship and innovation.
Speaking about the collaboration, Sedat Ergün, Founder & President of Dunya Yachts, emphasized his long-standing admiration for Hydro Tec’s founder: “Sergio Cutolo is a long-standing friend and a naval architect I have always admired. Sergio and his team are extremely talented in what they do and the success of their work speaks for itself. It is a pleasure to finally work with Hydro Tec on what is a truly stunning design. There are many impressive features throughout the yacht, including the abundant exterior and interior guest spaces on the lower level. These allow a deeper connection to the ocean in a heightened state of luxury.
We are a custom shipyard at Dunya, so we look for projects that are unique and offer the highest standards in terms of design, innovation and performance. Valiant delivers on all of these elements and we look forward to working with the right client for this project.”
For Sergio Cutolo, Founder & President of Hydro Tec, the partnership with Dunya Yachts represents a significant milestone: “Collaborating with Dunya Yachts on Valiant is a milestone for us. I have always respected the yard’s ability to deliver yachts of exceptional quality, combining craftsmanship with vision. This partnership allows us to unite Hydro Tec’s design philosophy with Dunya’s expertise in construction, creating a yacht that embodies strength, elegance and innovation.
Valiant is more than a concept—it is a statement of what can be achieved when design and engineering excellence meet the highest standards of yacht building.”
Taking its name from the legendary British Navy ship, Valiant pays homage to maritime heritage while embracing the future of modern yachting. Its design reflects bold strength fused with refined elegance, blending naval power with sleek, automotive-inspired lines. The yacht’s interiors are conceived with a sense of flow and connectivity, balancing privacy and openness to create a truly immersive onboard experience. A Japandi-inspired aesthetic—combining Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth—gives the interiors a serene and contemporary character, elevating both form and function.
The announcement of this partnership underscores the commitment of both companies to redefine the boundaries of yacht design and construction, delivering concepts that are both innovative and deeply aligned with the expectations of today’s most discerning yacht owners.
