Alia Yachts has launched its latest full custom yacht, the 53m Sea Club 53, designed as the ultimate toy and tender carrying superyacht.
Final outfitting and sea trials are ongoing, before an August delivery.
The Sea Club 53 is sub-500GT and will be home to a helicopter, a submersible, a 13m tender, 8m crew tender, two sailing catamarans, two dinghies, two Waverunners and a host of other water sports equipment, dive gear and toys.
The accommodation runs to a luxurious master cabin and two further guest cabins, plus a dedicated relaxation area.
“The Sea Club 53 showcases the very best of our capabilities here at Alia Yachts,” said president Gökhan Çelik. “We’re thrilled to see her in the water demonstrating her full potential for operating in great comfort at speeds up to 15 knots.
“It is a testament to our expert technical, engineering and boatbuilding teams here at Alia, as well as the close collaboration we have enjoyed with Azure Yacht Design for the exterior design and layout development, and with Diana Yacht Design for the naval architecture underpinning the hull.”
He added: “The Sea Club 53 has been an ambitiously rapid build. Thanks to an excellent relationship with the owner’s team at Technical Marine UK and quick thinking at our end, we have brought the project from dream to floating reality in a little over two years.”
The yacht has been constructed in three separate parts, comprising the hull, superstructure and the heli deck, before being joined late in 2022.
The heli deck is fully certified up to H-145 and there is 50sqm of toy storage space on the lower deck, alongside a dedicated water sports centre.
“The launch of project Sea Club marks the start of a whole new concept in the yachting Industry,” said Onne Logger of Azure Yacht Design.
“A unique combination of luxurious guest accommodation, enormous storage for tenders and toys and an unparalleled number of entertainment possibilities.
“The owner’s goal was to fit the storage and the entertainment amenities which would be usually found on an 80m+ vessel, while keeping the rich and elegant look of a superyacht.”
