Antalya, Turkey — October 2025 – Alia Yachts has proudly launched its latest 43-metre raised pilothouse full-custom project, destined for the Caribbean, with delivery scheduled for late 2025. The new yacht, known as Ximena, splashed at Alia’s state-of-the-art Antalya shipyard and will now undergo two months of commissioning and sea trials before handover.

Cutting-Edge Design and Naval Architecture

Project ALY431 exemplifies Alia’s signature style: aggressive lines by Omega Architects, a dynamic pelican’s bill bow, and a low-profile flybridge with extended aft overhangs. Naval architecture by Van Oossanen incorporates the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), achieving a top speed of 22.6 knots, efficient cruising at 20 knots, and optimal long-range performance at 12 knots.

The sunken pilothouse and sleek profile give Ximena a lean, athletic appearance, blending classic raised pilothouse elegance with a contemporary superyacht aesthetic.

Interiors and Accommodation

Generous glazing along the main deck floods the owner’s suite and expansive saloon with natural light. The yacht accommodates four guest cabins on the lower deck and up to seven crew members, ensuring seamless service and comfort. Kyiv-based Yodezeen is responsible for the bespoke interior design, combining contemporary elegance with functionality tailored to tropical living.

Exterior Spaces and Lifestyle

Ximena’s outdoor spaces are designed for al fresco entertainment, including:

• Foredeck lounge
• Cockpit area
• Flexible upper deck

Her shallow draft of 2.10m and 850-nautical-mile range at 20 knots make her perfect for navigating the Gulf Stream and exploring the Bahamas and Caribbean islands.

Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts, comments:
"The launch of Ximena is always a proud moment for our team. After years of engineering and craftsmanship, seeing the yacht afloat is incredibly satisfying. This vessel perfectly blends aggressive styling with comfort and functionality for Caribbean cruising."

A Busy Year at Alia

Alia Yachts’ Antalya shipyard remains at full capacity, with multiple bespoke projects underway, including a sleek 50m coupé expected in October and a 60m tri-deck yacht planned for year-end delivery. Combined, these launches will contribute over 150 metres of tailor-made superyachtery in 2025 alone.

Ximena embodies Alia Yachts’ commitment to bespoke, high-performance superyachts, seamlessly combining Dutch-inspired efficiency with contemporary design and Caribbean-ready comfort.
