Turkish yacht builder Alia 60m superyacht new project lays keel
Turkish yacht builder Alia Yachts has taken a big step forward in the construction of its latest 60-meter project: the laying of the keel of the superyacht, which took place at its Antalya plant in March.
The 60m superyacht project was commissioned for an experienced yacht owner who has owned many boats of different sizes over the past decade. The yacht is built by Alia Yachts and Vripack and GCC-based SF Yachts. The team is also responsible for the 55-meter superyacht Al Waab delivered by Alia in 2021.
The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in six spacious suites – two twins and four VIPs with double beds. Located in front of the upper deck, the main cabin overlooks the water from above, as well as its own large walk-in closet and dedicated owners' lounge overlooking the private foredeck.
Prominent areas on this 60-meter project include her sprawling lower-level beach club with massage rooms, dive shop, steam showers, gym and relaxation areas. In addition, to facilitate movement on board, the yacht is equipped with elevators connecting all floors from the lower deck to the upper deck.
Following in The footsteps of Al Waab, we are delighted to hold a ceremonial keel laying for this larger project with over 1,000 gross tons and huge external space. With a reputation for bespoke, custom yachts rather than mass builders, each custom yacht we deliver represents a unique vision for shipowners and this project is another source of pride for us. Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts, commented that the shipowner and his family are about to make some incredible travel plans and we are honored to be trusted to make it happen for him.
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 covers an area of approximately 8,000 square meters and includes three construction halls with specialized workshop kits and a dedicated internal facility. Alia Yachts will develop an additional 16,000 square meters in 2019 and will rank among the top facilities in the region.
