Antalya, Turkey – When Limerence was first envisioned, the brief was ambitious: create a vessel that merged the rugged, operational might of a support platform with the complete lifestyle and luxury experience of a standalone superyacht. As the build evolved, so did the concept. Alia Yachts and the owner collaborated closely to transform what began as a pure toy carrier into a yacht that could both stand alone or serve alongside a mothership. The result is Limerence—a high-performance, guest-ready adventure yacht that delivers wall-to-wall excitement by day and becomes a luxe entertainment venue by night.

“It’s the special genius of this design that Limerence is at once a hugely capable standalone superyacht and a peerless support vessel brimming with toys and amenities,” said Gökhan Çelik, president of Alia Yachts. “She represents not only the adventurous spirit of her owner, but also Alia’s full-custom building ethos. Every inch was drawn, engineered, and built from a blank page.”

Unmatched exterior performance and capability

Designed in partnership with Azure Yacht Design, Limerence makes a striking impression with sculpted blue topsides—a bold aesthetic choice made by the owner—contrasted against dark glazing that wraps around her bridge and main decks. The yacht’s explorer bow gives way to an expansive aft section devoted to tender storage and serious aviation capabilities.

Limerence is equipped with a fully certified commercial helideck—designed to accommodate large helicopters like the Bell 429 or Airbus H145—and goes further with integrated bunkering capability to refuel onboard. This means charter guests can explore remote shores, stay longer at anchor, and minimize port returns.

“Limerence is set up for serious helicopter operations,” said Caroline Antlett of Christie Yachts. “With full commercial approval and refueling capacity for multiple sorties, she unlocks completely new charter itineraries—from alpine drops to hidden jungle airstrips.”

A toybox like no other

Below the helideck lies a cavernous garage filled with adrenaline and adventure. Limerence carries four performance tenders, including a custom Wajer 38S, a 12.5m X-Tender, a Ski Nautique GS20, and a rescue RIB. Beyond that are jet skis, foil boards, seabobs, dive scooters, kite and windsurfing gear, e-bikes, two sailing catamarans, 2 sailing dinghy’s and much more.

She features a full dive center with 10 full dive sets as well as free diving and spear fishing. She was built to carry a 7-seater submersible, and whilst she does not carry one onboard the capability remains.

The helideck can transform into a sports court—enclosed by netting and inflatable supports—perfect for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and football. Golfing and laser clay shooting? Naturally. This is Limerence, after all.

“The level of equipment on board is usually reserved for much larger vessels,” said Çelik. “Packing all that into a sleek 52.5 metre envelope—along with advanced jet fuel systems, anti-heeling stabilization, and launching mechanisms—was a major engineering achievement.”

From beach club to boutique night club

Once the sun sets, the yacht shifts character once more. The large beach club turns into candlelit waterside dining venue, while the helipad converts into a nightclub with professional-grade DJ and AV equipment complete with lighting and smoke effects. For relaxing evenings the helipad transforms again into an open air cinema with a projector and large screen set up for a movie night under the stars.

A luxurious shaded mezzanine lounge just above the bathing platform—part of the original design concept—provides a perfect vantage point to relax or observe the action.

A surprisingly refined interior

Step inside and Limerence continues to surprise. The bright, elegant interior was designed by Istanbul-based CT Mimarlık in collaboration with Alia’s award-winning in-house interior division. The atmosphere is more boutique hotel than utilitarian support craft, with high-end materials, clean lines, and an emphasis on laid-back luxury.

Three spacious ensuite guest cabins include a full-beam owner’s suite with a lounge area that can convert to sleep two additional children. The other two cabins are convertible between double and twin, offering great flexibility to charter parties. Each features large marble bathrooms, his and hers vanities, and abundant storage.

A welcoming salon on the bridge deck opens out to al fresco dining, while a lower-deck water sports room replaces the traditional main salon—complete with coffee station, lounge seating, and video highlights of the day’s adventures.

Charter-ready and utterly unique

Limerence was delivered earlier this year and is now available for charter in the Mediterranean through Christie Yachts. Winter charter locations include the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and potentially Costa Rica.

“There’s simply nothing like her,” said Çelik. “Whether as a support vessel with the aesthetic and comfort of a superyacht, or as a standalone adventure platform, Limerence is proof of what a full-custom shipyard can achieve.”
