Alia Yachts has announced the sale of a 43-metre custom project, ALY432, which is currently under construction at the Alia shipyard in Antalya, Turkey. The yacht is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
Designed by Vripack, the vessel features contemporary exterior lines and is intended for a family planning to undertake extended voyages, with the ability to stay on board for up to two months. The yacht places a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, aiming to minimise its carbon footprint through naval engineering and onboard technologies.
One notable feature is the folding bulwarks located amidships, which expose a tender area designed to carry an 8-metre beach lander. When the balconies are opened, the garage area serves as a recreational zone, positioned in a stable part of the yacht. This area is separated from the dining area by a glass wall and is adjacent to a gym.
The bridge deck, behind the wheelhouse, largely accommodates the master stateroom, which includes a spacious walk-in wardrobe and private study. Guest accommodation is available for up to eight individuals, arranged in four suites on the lower deck.
“It’s a pleasure to work on a third project with Vripack, the designers of 55-metre Al Waab, the longest steel and aluminium yacht below 500GT in the world, and our 60-metre flagship, currently under construction and due to launch next year,” says Alia President Gökhan Çelik.
“With this latest contract, we now have six custom projects in various stages of construction, from newly started to nearing delivery, demonstrating that Alia Yachts continues to make an impact in the global market for bespoke superyachts.”
Alia Yachts, which was founded in 2008 by Gökhan Çelik, together with his business partner Ömer Korai, will issue more updates about the build as it progresses.
