A Closer Look at 45m Alia Yachts San

Alia Yachts has made waves in the luxury boat market with the launch of its stunning 45-meter superyacht San, a remarkable showcase of bespoke engineering and design by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects. 

This innovative vessel maintains a sleek profile while ensuring that its interior spaces enhance onboard comfort and living areas, exemplified by its unique layout. 

The San features full-height glazing on the main deck that provides panoramic views, complemented by versatile open-air spaces for relaxation or entertainment. A notable aspect of the yacht is its expansive main deck aft, equipped with shaded sofa seating and a dynamic beach club area that relies on folding bulwarks and sunpad arrangements. 

The main dining table is designed for functionality, transforming between a coffee table and a full dining experience, while the foredeck offers an additional space for lounging. The streamlined exterior design creates a low profile when afloat, while the raised pilothouse configuration maximizes space efficiency, resembling an airplane cockpit, creating a luxurious feel aboard. 

Each square centimeter of San has been meticulously optimized, reflecting a balance between ergonomics and comfort, according to Paul Costerus, Senior Yacht Designer and Project Manager at Sinot. 

The main deck saloon, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glazing, ensures captivating sea views even when seated, while the main saloon blends a cozy design with generous ceiling heights. Alia’s President, Gökhan Çelik, emphasizes the complexity of engineering behind San's open design, highlighting minimal barriers and intricacies involved in the build. The interior palette, featuring premium materials like teak, stained oak, and leather, is both understated and sophisticated, further enhanced with expert craftsmanship by Alia's in-house Atelier. 

Communication with the owner played a key role in the yacht's design, as articulated by Davide Siggia, Senior Interior Designer, showcasing a deep understanding of the client's vision. Access to guest accommodations on the lower deck is through a stylish spiral staircase, leading to well-appointed suites that reflect personalization and luxury. 

The master stateroom features inventive design elements like retractable mirrors and ample natural light from large windows. The guest quarters are equally equipped, including personalized design featuring high-end finishes. The crew accommodations are effectively designed to ensure comfort and functionality, complete with professional-grade galley facilities. 

With impressive power from four Volvo Penta engines, San promises exhilarating performance, achieving a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. This latest launch reinforces Alia Yachts' reputation as a premier custom yacht builder, delivering extraordinary projects characterized by innovative engineering and stunning design.

Alia Yachts was founded in 2008 by Gokhan Çelik and Omer Koray. Located in the port of Antalya on the beautiful Turkish Riviera, Alia Yachts shipyard currently occupies approximately 8,000 m2, including three construction halls with their suites of specialist workshops and a dedicated interiors facility. With an additional 16,000 sq. m under development for 2019, Alia Yachts will rank among the top facilities in the region.
