the founding Date of the Turkish shipyard Mengi Yay is considered to be 1964, but, if you complain, then this date is provisional. In 64, the founder of the shipyard, Ramazan Mengi (Ramazan Mengi) was only 11 years old. At this age he started his professional life. He went to the apprentice on pier Ayvansaray to Istanbul, where he helped build fishing boats and rowing boats. Over the next 12 years Mengi learned shipbuilding from various sides, was promoted to master, try yourself in the role of a merchant. The logical end of this phase was the establishment of her own workshop in Ayvansaray in 1976. In 1985 he was joined by Muzaffer Yay. Together they decided to build larger yachts. After 8 years of working together, the partners established a new company, with two names on the sign — Mengi Yay Yachting.
In 1996 Ramazan Mengi died in a car accident, his son hüseyin Mengi (Hüseyin Mengi) took the place of father in the company.

One hangar (50 to 26 m) is sufficient for the simultaneous construction of two boats up to 45 m, the second (100 to 26 m) yacht building larger caliber.
"Our goal is to build larger yachts than it is now, but focusing on the queries that we receive" — so formulates the policy of the company Director of the shipyard hüseyin Mengi (Hüseyin Mengi).
