Antalya, Turkey – Alia Yachts has officially unveiled its latest fully custom superyacht, the 43-metre Ximena, marking a high-profile debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Displayed prominently along Flagler Drive, the yacht quickly emerged as one of the event’s highlights, attracting attention for both its striking exterior lines and the first reveal of its carefully curated interior.

“This was a defining moment for us,” said Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts. “Ximena embodies our philosophy of uncompromised custom yacht building. Every detail reflects the owner’s vision—from performance to design—resulting in a vessel that is fast, distinctive and highly personal.”

Performance-driven design

Designed by Omega Architects, with naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Ximena presents a bold, forward-leaning profile. Her sharp, arrowhead silhouette and pronounced pelican bow convey a sense of motion even at rest.

Beneath the surface, the yacht’s fast displacement hull ensures an optimal balance between speed and efficiency. Ximena reaches a top speed of 22.6 knots and cruises comfortably at 20 knots, while her shallow 2.1-metre draft expands her cruising versatility—from the Bahamas to more remote shallow waters.

Elevated outdoor living

Outdoor spaces aboard Ximena are designed for seamless enjoyment. The expansive sundeck—spanning more than 50 square metres—combines shaded lounging under a sleek hardtop with open sunbathing areas surrounding a Jacuzzi. A fully equipped bar, generous seating and a retractable screen allow the space to transition effortlessly from daytime relaxation to evening entertainment.

Forward, the foredeck lounge offers a more intimate social setting, while the aft main deck provides a flexible environment enhanced by integrated lighting, concealed audio systems and a drop-down cinema screen.

Beach club and wellness

At water level, the beach club serves as a central hub for daytime activity. A wide teak platform ensures direct access to the sea, complemented by a hydraulic system that facilitates swimming and water sports.

A glass-fronted gym sits just beyond the transom, blending fitness and leisure in a space designed to feel open and connected to the surrounding environment.

Contemporary interior craftsmanship

Inside, Ximena reveals a refined, loft-inspired interior developed by Yodezeen in collaboration with Alia’s in-house team. The design combines modern aesthetics with tactile materials and layered detailing.

Pale ivory onyx by Antolini features prominently, while oak parquet flooring echoes the exterior decking. Materials such as smoked glass, brass, lacquer and natural leather create a cohesive yet dynamic palette, softened by flowing lines and curved forms.

The main saloon stands out for its interplay of light and texture, highlighted by a sculptural ceiling feature and a central onyx bar that anchors the space.

Owner-centric layout

The owner’s suite, located forward on the main deck, spans over 50 square metres and is designed as a private sanctuary. Expansive glazing, clean lines and balanced materials create a calm, residential atmosphere. The suite includes dual bathrooms finished in grey marble, a shared shower and an expansive dressing area.

Guest accommodations follow the same design language, featuring two VIP cabins aft and two additional cabins forward, each distinguished by subtle variations in materials while maintaining overall harmony.

Fully custom, fully realized

Reflecting the advantages of a bespoke build, Ximena integrates practical solutions alongside luxury. A midships garage houses a 6.5-metre tender, while onboard systems and layouts are tailored to the owner’s operational requirements. The yacht also accommodates a crew of eight, ensuring premium service standards.

With Ximena, Alia Yachts reinforces its position in the fully custom superyacht segment, delivering a vessel defined not only by its size, but by precision engineering, design clarity and a strong, individualized identity.
