Turkish yard Alia Yachts has announced the sale of a custom 65-metre superyacht already under construction at its Antalya site. Known provisionally as hull ALY651, the steel and aluminium project will become the yard’s flagship once delivered.
Alia Yachts has reprised its collaboration with Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, which will be responsible for the project’s exterior and interiors. The pair are known for their collaboration on the 45-metre SAN, which won at this year’s BOAT Design & Innovation Awards.
Netherlands-based Diana Yacht Design is responsible for naval architecture, with hull ALY651 promising to “offer the volumes and amenities associated with an 80-metre yacht”. This includes space for five cabins – including an owner’s suite with a private lounge – and a hydraulic swimming pool which can be raised flush to create a large, open entertainment area on the main deck aft.
