Alia Yachts hit the bullseye with its first superyacht of the year. The charter demonstrates previously known as aly431 but christened ximena, features aggressive lines reminiscent of an arrowhead and a sharp, the fully custom 141-footer, pelican’s bow that ensure greater efficiency and enviable style on the high seas. With exteriors by Omega design studio, the aluminum newcomer features a sunken pilothouse and a low-profile flybridge deck with extended overhangs aft that together create a lean, athletic silhouette. For discerning connoisseurs, though: the superyacht’s swift displacement hull form, ximena’s sleek look isn’t purely for aesthetics, ” including cruising at 20 knots and long-range economy performance at 12 knots, created by the folks at van oossanen naval architects, results in what alia says is “peak efficiency across multiple speeds. A low draft of just under seven feet and a range of 850 nautical miles at 20 knots make the vessel a magnificent fit for crossing the Gulf Stream and exploring islands. Generous glazing on both sides of the vessel creates light-filled living quarters. A huge owner’s suite and a large salon occupy the majority of the main deck, while four generous guest cabins are spread across the lower deck. The latter deck can also accommodate up to seven crew. Exterior highlights include a plush foredeck lounge and a flexible upper deck that was designed for an alfresco Miami lifestyle. Full details, including what Alia says is a “breathtaking interior” from design firm Yodezeen, will be unveiled in due course. Ximena was built for a first-time owner in the U. The cruiser recently hit the water at Alia’s state-of-the-art shipyard in Antalya, Turkey, with the “delighted owner” looking on. The yacht will now undergo two months of commissioning, class and flag approval, and sea trials, before it is delivered late this autumn. It will then cruise the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. “Ximena is this owner’s first yacht, and he is very happy,” Alia president Gökhan Çelik said in a statement. “She is the perfect boat for the Caribbean and Miami—dynamic with a shallow draft, lots of crew space, and a good gym. ”
