Maritime consulting guided by real ocean experience
Who we are
Praxis Marine offers yacht consulting guided by real ocean experience. Founded by Capt. Firat, we combine years of commanding vessels across the world's oceans with deep understanding of what draws people to the ocean.
Our approach is rooted in hands-on maritime expertise—from overseeing vessels from construction through commissioning to building charter operations and managing complex ocean deliveries.
This operational foundation allows us to understand how design decisions and construction choices translate into real-world performance when it matters most at sea.
Every project begins with genuine conversation about your dream. We believe the best yachts emerge or found when technical precision meets authentic understanding of how you want to experience life on the water. From initial concept to final delivery, we ensure every vessel serves the unique relationship you seek with the sea.
Our Services

Owner's Representation & New Build Management
Building a yacht begins with understanding what draws you to the water. Through genuine dialogue, we help translate your vision into reality, guiding you through every stage from initial concept to final delivery.
-
Refit & Modernization
Your yacht writes its own story through years of use and adventure. We approach each refit by first understanding that story, then thoughtfully evolving the vessel while respecting what makes it yours.

Engineering & Complete Yacht Design
The best yachts emerge when technical precision meets genuine understanding of how you want to engage with the ocean. Our designs balance performance with livability and operability, informed by real experience in diverse conditions.

Founder
Capt. Fırat's maritime experience spans commanding vessels across Pacific and Atlantic waters, serving as build captain during yacht construction, and conducting comprehensive technical surveys. This diverse background creates the foundation for Praxis Marine's unique approach to yacht projects.
His operational experience includes building charter operations from conception, managing complex ocean deliveries, and overseeing vessels from initial construction through final commissioning. Each project reinforced the understanding that design decisions made on paper ultimately determine how a yacht performs in real conditions at sea.
This hands-on maritime background shapes every aspect of our work—from representing owners during new builds to managing thoughtful refits and creating original designs. The goal remains consistent: ensuring every yacht serves the genuine relationship its owner seeks with the ocean.
