Widely reported to be the future yacht of Andrew and Tristan Tate, Project Obsidian Blade was sold through Denison Yachting in early 2025 using cryptocurrency, though the brokerage has never publicly identified the buyer. The brothers have since repeatedly referred to the yacht as their own across social media, including in Tate's latest construction update.
The footage provides a glimpse of the yacht during the fit-out phase, with interior spaces taking shape ahead of her scheduled 2027 delivery.
Interior spaces begin to take shape
The walkthrough primarily highlights the progress being made throughout the interior. While decorative finishes have yet to be installed, many of the yacht's primary spaces are now clearly defined, with structural joinery, bulkheads, ceiling frameworks and onboard systems already in place.
Wide side decks connect the exterior spaces, while the main salon has progressed to the point where furniture layouts can already be visualized despite exposed overhead wiring, ventilation systems, and unfinished surfaces. The video also reveals the galley, owner accommodations, guest areas and wheelhouse, each at varying stages of completion.
On the aft deck, the motor yacht's broad waterside staircase leading to the swim platform has been formed. Built-in seating modules are already visible, outlining what is described as a flexible outdoor lounge with both open sunbathing areas and shaded seating beneath the upper deck.
Living spaces revealed during walkthrough
The owner's suite is located directly aft of the main salon in line with Aegean Yacht's published general arrangement. Plans for a bedroom, work area, television, dressing room and en suite bathroom, while noting that additional guest cabins, including one intended for his brother Tristan Tate, are located on the lower deck.
The walkthrough also offers a look inside the owner's suite, where the layout has been prepared for a bedroom, work area, television, dressing room and en suite bathroom. Several lower-deck guest cabins are also visible, while the crew accommodation remains under construction.
According to the builder, Project Obsidian Blade will accommodate up to 12 guests across six suites, including a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck complete with a walk-in wardrobe and private bathroom.
Stealth-inspired styling
Forward, the recess for a plunge pool has already been integrated into the foredeck, while the upper deck reveals the foundations for outdoor dining, lounge seating and a dedicated gym area overlooking the stern. Built-in furniture bases throughout the exterior suggest the yacht's social spaces are well underway, although cushions, teak decking and final finishes are still to be installed.
The exterior has been designed with a distinctly military influence, using minimal glazing, classic portholes and angular lines to create a purposeful appearance. Inside, designer Riza Tansu has taken the opposite approach, creating a relaxed beach-house-inspired interior centered around natural materials, understated finishes and strong connections between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Among the yacht's planned amenities are a bow plunge pool, gym, expansive aft entertainment deck capable of carrying two large tenders while underway, stabilizers, swimming platform and multiple exterior lounging areas.
Among Aegean Yacht's active custom builds
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the Turkish builder is also progressing the 66m Haifa, a 1,324GT displacement yacht scheduled for completion in 2027. Designed by Red Yacht Design with naval architecture by Soyaslan Marine, Haifa accommodates 16 guests, offers a 5,000-nautical-mile range and includes a helipad, swimming pool, beach club and elevator.
Haifa is on the market with Northrop & Johnson and is currently asking $23,500,000.
Alongside her is the 37m Project Hekate, due for delivery in 2026. Designed inside and out by Tansu with naval architecture by Endaze Marine Engineering, the 272GT yacht accommodates 10 guests across five suites and reaches a top speed of 16 knots.
Together, the three projects highlight the breadth of Aegean Yacht's current custom construction portfolio.
