Antalya, Turkey – Alia Yachts is extremely proud to announce the sale of a fully custom 65m yacht. The deal was inked late last year, and construction of the four-decker has already begun at Alia’s Antalya shipyard. The hull of ALY651 is taking shape in steel, and she will have an aluminium superstructure. When completed, she will become the new flagship of the yard.

The unique project sees the Turkish superyacht builder reprising its recent collaboration with Sinot Yacht Design to deliver an exceptional lifestyle platform for this engaged owner. Diana Yacht Design of the Netherlands is developing the naval architecture for the yacht.

Although the hull measures 65m, it will offer the volumes and amenities more usually associated with an 80m yacht. These include a prominent owner’s suite with a private lounge offering panoramic ocean views. The owner’s stateroom itself benefits from floor-to-ceiling glass for a profound connection to the surrounding seascape. There are four further guest cabins and a large main deck lounge, which provides a stylish and inviting space for relaxation and social gatherings.

Outdoor spaces are similarly impressive and carefully designed to adapt to different needs throughout the day. A standout example is the swimming pool on the main deck aft, whose floor can be raised flush to create a large open area for entertaining guests. The yacht also offers a Jacuzzi with a view on the sundeck and another, larger one on the foredeck for the owner’s exclusive use.

Sinot Yacht Design has worked with Alia Yachts and the owner to develop both the exterior design and an exquisitely detailed interior, with natural materials enhancing the overall refinement and craftsmanship for which Alia is known. It is a team which produced impressive results in the award-winning 45m SAN, delivered last year.

“Alia Yachts is thrilled to be working with Sinot again on such a large and prestigious project,” said Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts. “We share the same passion for yachting and a deep know-how born from decades of hard-won experience. This is clear from the industry recognition and awards that followed our last collaboration. When ALY651 is completed, she will become the new flagship of the Alia Yachts fleet. The project will demonstrate how innovative design and modern technology are as much a part of our repertoire as fine materials and immaculate finish quality. We fully expect to be busier than ever at this end of the market.”
