Alia Yachts has launched its full-custom, all-aluminium 45-metre motoryacht SAN. Antalya, Turkey-based Alia says sea trials have been successfully progressing, and the yacht is due to be delivered to its owners this June.
SAN will make its international debut at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show in September.
With exterior and interior styling by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects, SAN‘s design emphasis is on exterior spaces for alfresco socialising.
Its fully open main deck from the stern to the bow and folding aft bulwarks provide additional outdoor living space.
SAN’s raised pilothouse sits over the superstructure, constructed using full-height glass facades with sliding doors both aft and forward, providing an open feeling on the yacht’s main deck.
On the lower deck, there are four guest cabins and an owner’s stateroom, and the contemporary and detailed interior design is tailored to the owner’s personal preferences.
“SAN is a striking and innovative boat that highlights our strengths as a truly custom builder,” says Alia’s President, Gökhan Çelik. “It’s projects like this that attract the best clients from all over the world.”
Following the news at the beginning of the year that Alia Yachts sold and is building a full-custom 45-metre project, it has also signed recent contracts for another 45-metre custom project and a 43-metre custom explorer yacht.
Excluding SAN, the boatbuilder currently has five yachts from 43 metres to 60 metres under construction.
