Project: Alia Yachts 43m raised pilothouse

Alia Yachts in Turkey has started construction of a new 43-metre project with aggressive exterior lines by long-term design partners Omega Architects. In build for a client based in Miami, the design is styled around the relaxed, open-air lifestyle in Florida and the Bahamas. Omega has deliberately kept the profile low-rise and sleek with a menacing pelican-beak bow, helped by the raised pilothouse layout spread over two-and-a-half decks. With ample al fresco areas that include lounging and sunbathing on the aft deck, the foredeck, and the sundeck that also has a hottub, the new design takes the raised pilothouse configuration and stretches it to 42 metres and 380GT. The all-aluminium vessel has a shallow Bahamas draft and a Fast Displacement Hull Form known as FDHF by Van Oossanen, another of Alia’s Dutch design partners. The FDHF outperforms conventional displacement and semi-displacement hull forms at low, cruising and maximum speeds by providing high efficiency throughout the power curve. The interior comprises four guest suites on the lower deck, a master stateroom with walk-in wardrobe on the main deck forward. The lower deck further houses space for 7 crew as well as a very nice sized gym and side-loading tender garage. Sliding glass doors on both sides of the main saloon means there’s always a fresh breeze flowing through the interior. The interior design is by newcomers Yodezeen, a pair of designers from Kyiv with a studio in Miami. Powered by twin MTU 2600hp main engines, the yacht with have a top speed in excess of 22 knots and a range of 3,200 nautical miles at twelve knots. She is scheduled for delivery in summer 2024 and will make her debut at the autumn boat shows.

Project: Alia 60 meter

Turkish super yacht builder Alia presents a 60 meter project, reuniting the build team responsible for the 54 meter Al Waab with Dutch studio Vripack for the design and naval architecture, and GCC-based SF Yachts that will serve as project manager and owner’s representative throughout the construction. The owner is an experienced yachtsmen who has owned several yachts of various sizes over the past decade. For this latest project he requested an Ice Class standard with which to travel around the world with his family.  The owner’s brief has focused on a high performance, go-anywhere yacht that can accommodate a large family for long periods at a time. With an interior volume of 810 gross tons and generous exterior spaces, the family members will be able to enjoy extended cruises without having to return to shore for provisioning or refueling. With the addition of an Ice Class hull, the yacht will be able to go anywhere, anytime. In addition, close attention is being paid to the technical and logistical requirements to ensure the super yacht is as easy to operate and maintain for the crew as possible. Unusually, for example, the spacious galley and crew salon-dinette is on the main deck forward, where there is also a technical room with access to the side-loading tender garage. A popular social area on board that benefits from the high volume is the sprawling beach club on the lower deck that has a massage room, dive store and steam shower in addition to a gym and chill-out zone. As on Alia 54 meter, semi-transparent side panels create a wind-protected area and further connection to the water. The lower guest accommodation comprises no fewer than six guest suites: two cabins with twin single beds and four VIPs with double beds. An elevator connects all levels from the lower deck to the sun deck. The master stateroom is on the upper deck forward to enjoy the best views high above the water. This suite includes a very large walk-in wardrobe and a dedicated owner lounge overlooking a private foredeck. The new Alia 60-metre project is scheduled for delivery to her owner in 2024.

Project: Alia 45m Project San

Alia Yachts is proud to announce a new contract for an all-aluminum, 45-metre super yacht designed by Sinot with naval architecture by Lateral. The attractive and innovative raised-pilothouse design is to be powered by quadruple Volvo IPS drives, and is characterized by sleek lines and a low superstructure with an emphasis on exterior spaces for open-air socializing. The Alia 45 meter will offer guest accommodation on the lower deck for four guest cabins and an owner’s stateroom. The interior design is geared towards the personal preferences of the owners and although minimalistic at first glance, on closer inspection is richly detailed.

New Launch: Alia 55m

Alia has launched a new 55-metre.  Titled Al Waab II, this new Alia 55m is the first superyacht to be launched from the new two thousand ton capacity ship lift, part of a wider investment by the Antalya Free Zone into its yacht building infrastructure that includes bigger cranes and travel lifts as well as new hangars for superyacht construction and refit projects.  Notwithstanding the many challenges faced by Alia and other shipyards during the Covid-19 pandemic, the launch took place only a few weeks behind the original build schedule.  Alia 55m remains below the 500GT threshold by emphasizing the hull form and exterior areas, including a sprawling beach club. With design and engineering by Vripack and Dubai-based SF Yachts serving as the owner’s representative during the build, the yacht can sleep up to twelve guests in six staterooms and includes a lavish split-level master suite on the upper deck.  Once outfitting is complete, the new Alia 55m will undergo sea trials before delivery to her owner. The official World debut will take place late September 2021.
Technical Data:
LOA - 55 m (180.5ft)
Beam - 9.1 m

New Launch: Alia 36m Support Vessel

Alia has launched hull number 361, what is a 36 meter Support Vessel titled Phi Phantom. A sleek, muscular new predator the 36m custom support vessel comes from a design by Cor D.Rover with naval architecture by Dutch firm Van Oossanen. In May 2021 the Turkish yard painstakingly drove the fully aluminium yacht out of the building halls and lifted it into the water in Antalya using a 200-tonne travel lift. Phi Phantom, part of the Phi Project, is a superb example of the yard’s metalworking skills. Destined to support the custom superyacht Phi by Royal Huisman, this Alia 36m Support Vessel reflects many elements of the larger yacht’s design. The hull was to have no fairing to finish it, so the plates had to be very accurately bent in three dimensions, then welded without creating the slightest distortion. It is flawlessly painted in the exactly same matt blue-grey as the mothership. She also shares the horizontal grille work at the bow and echoes the swooping shearline of the larger vessel. This 36m Support Vessel is built to cross oceans carrying the tenders and toys that the mothership has no garage to stow. The key here is a 9m HS Marine crane capable of lifting 5.5 tonnes out of the water and onto the vast 150 square-metre aft deck. It has more than enough power to handle the 14m gentleman’s tender currently taking shape at Spirit Yachts, as well as the Axopar 37 Suntop. A hydraulically operated lazarette under the deck stores further toys in a protected environment. But the super support yacht is also a technical marvel in other respects. Every system is overspecified, so as to be as reliable as possible. From pumps and piping to hydraulics and electrics, everything is designed to be as bombproof as possible. With a patented Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen and twin Cat 1900hp engines, Alia 36m Supper Vessel has a range of 4,200 nautical miles at twelve knots cruising speed. Flat out, she’ll do 21 knots to match the slim, easily-driven hull of the mothership. The interior is designed to be as functional as possible, although finished to superyacht crew standards. There are berths for up to six crew, but the boat is classified for handling by just three. It means that there is extra space on board, and one of the cabins has been designated as a guest cabin, with a little more volume and a desk. After doing final sea trials Phi Phantom was delivered to her owner in June.

New Model: Alia 27m Atlantico

It is well established that a chase boat must complement the mothership, but Turkey’s Alia Yachts has gone one step further. In delivering the 27m Atlantico, Alia has managed to extend the larger boat by providing a platform that fully matches it in terms of look, quality and function. The complex project fused naval architecture from Lateral with Alia’s shipbuilding know-how, which extended to every element of the interior furnishing.  Build captain and skipper Tolga Han refers candidly to the challenges involved in such an interesting and unique design. First up, the hull needed to be capable of high speeds, so it was designed with a broad beam of 8.35m and three of Volvo’s most powerful 1000hp engines. This makes it possible for Atlantico to plane despite her size. It also gives her responsive handling and a very sea-kindly motion, even in heavy seas. Besides the stability the broad hull imparts under way, two Seakeeper 26 gyro stabilizers keep her steady at rest.  Naturally, the exterior look of the boat reflects that of the 55m mothership, Atlante. She is an aggressive explorer-type yacht, and her distinguished owner therefore required an equally capable looking chase boat. The aluminium hull shares a lighter shade of Atlante’s grey DuPont metallic topcoat system, and features similar circular windows. The angular deckhouse surmounted by a military-looking mast also echoes the mothership. With a light-caulked teak deck, pale-coloured sofas and sun pads and dark, glossy columns in the deckhouse, Atlantico subtly reinterprets the feel of the mothership. But there is no mistaking the serious intent of this 27m yacht. The blend of cool and comfort continues below, where there are two impressive double cabins with large freestanding beds. Gloss white walls contrast firmly with the dark, lavish wood of furniture and bulkhead panelling, all cleverly lit by indirect light. Small details strike you, such as the multiplicity of storage, hidden behind tessellating wooden panels with flush opening mechanisms.  There are all the amenities required of a large yacht, with two sophisticated shower rooms and a very capable crew galley aft, together with accommodation for up to four crew.

Project: Alia 55m

Alia is delighted to announce the signing of the contract for the construction of Project Al Waab II, a 55 meter sub-500 GT super yacht with exterior and interior design, as well as naval architecture and Class engineering, from the creative desk of Dutch firm Vripack.  The project is the result of great teamwork between Alia Yachts, Vripack and SF Yachts, who played a key role as coordinator between the designers, the builders and the owner’s guidelines. With delivery scheduled for Summer 2021, Alia 55m will have a more detailed press presentation during the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show featuring further details and visuals.

Project: Alia 16m Fast Runabout

Best known for its custom super yachts such as 60m Samurai, 41m Ruya and 31m Virgen del Mar, in 2014 Alia Yachts received an inquiry from a private customer looking to build a fast day boat that he couldn’t find among existing production models. Instead, Çelik approached Bill Dixon Design in the U.K., which has a strong track record in the powerboat sector, to develop the naval architecture, exterior and interior design together with Alia Yachts. In addition to the galley and bar unit behind the pilots seats and comfy dinette, the stylish day boat has unparalleled outdoor spaces, ample sunbathing space both fore and aft, a spacious double cabin below deck with en-suite bathroom and shower, and a second galley with sink and fridge. Powered by twin Volvo engines with IPS pod drives, the boat has a top speed of 35 plus knots, and up to forty knots with bigger engine alternatives offered. Alia Yachts took care to build the boat with the same attention to detail lavished on its super yachts. The original client was delighted with the result and two more were sold in quick succession, although the product has never been properly marketed as the shipyard continues to focus on its super yacht projects. That now looks set to change as Alia Yachts is currently in discussions with an American client for a fourth unit and fielding other enquiries from Europe, South America and the U.S.
