PROJECT FREEDOM | 44M SES Yachts | 2028 | €26,000,000

Denison Yachting is pleased to announce the central agency listing of Project Freedom, a 44-meter explorer sportfish motoryacht currently under development by SES Yachts in Istanbul, Turkey. With a delivery date of 2028 and an asking price of €26,000,000, Project Freedom represents a rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built world cruiser at the semi-custom stage, with full interior and deck configuration flexibility still available to the buyer.

Naval architecture and engineering is the work of NAMES, under the direction of Francesco Rogantin. Both exterior and interior design are by Too Design, led by Marco Casali, whose firm operates from a 16th-century castle outside Rome and integrates expertise across architecture, interior design, and automotive design. The result is a yacht with a bold, layered profile that draws equally from the sportfish and explorer traditions, built entirely in aluminum and classed RINA C + Hull Mach Y.

Project Freedom version selector showing three yacht configurations: Fisherman, Fisherman Enclosed, and Leisure

Fisherman Fisherman Enclosed Leisure

Fisherman

Open aft deck accommodates a full-size tender plus water toys — no chase boat required. Below decks, the beach club converts between fishing, diving, and lounge configurations at the owner’s direction.

Three Versions, One Platform

Project Freedom is offered in three distinct configurations, each sharing the same hull, powertrain, and core specification.

The Fisherman version is the most open interpretation of the concept. The expansive aft deck accommodates a substantial tender plus water toys, eliminating the need for a chase boat. When cleared, the deck functions as an outdoor platform directly above the beach club below. The beach club itself is fully customizable and can be outfitted with scuba and dive storage, fishing and tackle areas, a bar, gym space, and a day head.

The Fisherman Enclosed version adds a fully enclosed upper deck lounge with a day head and direct access to a crow's nest above. This configuration draws from the tradition of large enclosed sportfish builds and is particularly well suited for bluewater big game fishing programs where weather protection and elevated visibility matter.

The Leisure version trades the open aft arrangement for a centerline pool and a side-entry tender garage. The beach club area is divided into two zones: a gym to port and a dive or watersports storage area to starboard, with a day head. The sun deck on the Leisure version features the same pool, sunpads, outdoor kitchen, and dining setup as the Fisherman flybridge configurations.
