Turkish yard Sirena Yachts has revealed further details on its new range of superyachts that were revealed at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show. To create the range, Sirena forged a new partnership with exterior designer Luca Vallebona and Van Oossanen Naval Architects.
The models will come in 35, 42 and 50-metre size increments, each with a dedicated focus on space management in order to maximise the onboard experience of owners and guests. New details from the yard show how this has allowed for added features such as an innovative owner’s patio, mullion-less windows and a vast, flexible beach club area.
“The pearl of these yachts, particularly the 42m and 50m, is the forward patio,” said Vallebona. “This small, almost architectural feature hidden inside the hull on the main deck is a private, open-air space dedicated to the owners. It is very special.”
The private owner’s space welcomes in natural light from the open area above and from the side thanks to dark glazing windows contrasted by a white hull. On the larger two models, the space includes a personal Jacuzzi as well as steps leading up to a main deck forward lounge area, complete with a comfortable seating area.
Towards the back of the vessel, the aft deck houses a large pool with complementary fold-out bulwarks, significantly expanding the space to 85 square metres on the 35-metre model and 140 square metres on the 50-metre model.
Vallebona said he had been inspired by two references to the past that he used to create the concepts. “The first one is the use of words like patio and pergola that come straight from the classic Latin age, as I am fascinated with this architecture. The other one is the bottom line of the main deck side window that can be seen as nothing else than a sheerline of a beautiful J Class, a timeless symbol of luxury and sportiness,” he explained.
Sirena also pointed to an interior design feature used to characterise the yard’s upcoming flagship. “The main and upper deck cockpits are visually connected by a double-height space close to the saloon entrances,” Vallebona said. “This space could be hung with plants or a giant sculpture, creating a common thread – a sinuous passage from the main deck to the upper deck cockpit. Verticality is a dimension that is not so often seen on a yacht, especially in a 50-metre.”
“Our objective is to carry the spacious interior, attention to detail, efficient and sea-worthy hull and customer orientation approach to our new line of superyachts,” added Sirena Yachts CEO Çağın Genç.
Each of the vessels will feature steel hulls and aluminium superstructures with designs with the option of a customisable interior to suit each individual owner.
As well as branching into the superyacht sector, Sirena’s ambition is to cater to a younger generation of clients. “The average age of our owners has decreased by 10 years, and is now in the 40-50 age bracket,” adds Genç. As a result, the designs feature “less formal more social” spaces and no dedicated dining area.
The design also caters to the younger generation’s greater affinity for water sports with generous onboard storage for tenders and toys. The garage on the flagship model has room for two tenders, two jetskis and a variety of boards, while the 35-metre design can easily fit a large tender and multiple jetskis on the foredeck.
Sirena states it has serious clients interested, particularly in the 50-metre model, and is well positioned to build on spec. “Our goal has been to provide yachts that exceed expectations in every size category in which we build,” says Sirena Yachts’ chairwoman and president İpek Kıraç.
