Hailing from a pair of Ukrainian designers with a studio in Miami, the yacht\u2019s interiors have been completed by industry newcomers\u00a0Yodezeen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New interior images showcase the yacht’s neutral colour palette, with soft backlighting and a range of textures. Sliding glass doors on both sides of the main saloon allow for a fresh sea breeze to pass through the vessel while inviting guests to move freely throughout the outdoor and indoor spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Accommodation comprises a master stateroom with a walk-in wardrobe on the main deck forward and four guest suites on the lower deck. Also on the lower deck is room for seven crew, as well as a gym and side-loading tender garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside, ample lounging and sunbathing areas stretch across the yacht\u2019s two-and-a-half decks, situated on the aft deck, foredeck and sundeck. Adding to the yacht\u2019s onboard entertainment, the pilothouse also features a Jacuzzi and bar area.<\/p>\n\n\n

Originally sold to a client based in Miami, Ximena<\/em> borrows inspiration from the relaxed, open-air lifestyle associated with Florida and the neighbouring Caribbean for a focus on al fresco living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raised pilothouse model is the first of a new series featuring a streamlined, “aggressive” profile by long-term design partners\u00a0Omega Architects. Alia Yachts previously collaborated with the Dutch design studio on a 30-metre displacement motor yacht built for the owner of the shipyard in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n

For the naval architecture, Alia Yachts returned to\u00a0Van Oossanen\u00a0\u2013 another of the yard’s established design partners \u2013 to create a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) to pair with the yacht’s low draught.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The distinguishing features of this hull form \u2013 such as fine entry, shallow transom and the spray rail in the bow \u2013 lead to fuel-efficient cruising, outstanding top-end performance and relatively low engine power,” explained studio principal, Perry van Oossanen, at the yacht’s unveiling last year.<\/p>\n\n\n

On her global debut at PBIBS, G\u00f6khan \u00c7elik, president of Alia Yachts, said: \u201cPresenting Ximena<\/em> at Palm Beach is a proud moment for our entire team.” He continued: “She embodies our approach to true full-custom building, performance-driven, architecturally distinctive and meticulously tailored to her owner\u2019s vision. We look forward to welcoming guests on board for her global premiere.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by twin MTU TIER III 16V 2000 M96L engines, Ximena<\/em> has a top speed in excess of 22.6 knots and a range of 3,200 nautical miles while cruising at 12 knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0BOATPro, Alia Yachts currently has five vessels in build, including the 60-metre\u00a0Serenity II,\u00a0<\/em>which hit the water at the start of this month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
