Alia Yachts has launched the 45m Genie Blu, a fully custom yacht from Alia’s in-house design office and Luca Dini Design & Architecture.
Stand-out features of Genie Blu include a long, low profile, drop-down side wings, floor-to-ceiling glass and an uncluttered aesthetic.
“Genie Blu turns traditional ideas of yacht design on their head,” explained Gökhan Çelik, president of Alia Yachts.
“Rather than maximising interior volume for its own sake, this project is about purity, proportion and the owner’s experience of the sea.
“Fully custom and refreshingly unconventional, Genie Blu is exactly the kind of yacht we love to build at Alia.
“Working closely with the owner throughout this journey has been a privilege and seeing her enter the water is a very proud moment for everyone involved.”
Concept to completion
Alia’s in-house design office worked closely with Luca Dini Design & Architecture, who refined and further developed the existing exterior design while developing the yacht’s interior design from concept to completion.
The main salon’s floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan layout have been designed to place the sea at the centre of the yacht’s experience.
The interior is calm and contemporary, with a neutral decorative language.
Outdoor living features include raised seating in the cockpit with a cascade of steps leading to the aft swim platform.
Forward, the lounge area and open foredeck offer further spaces for relaxation, while the superstructure has a discreet sunpad area.
“The project is based on subtraction rather than addition,” concluded Luca Dini.
“We removed barriers, reduced unnecessary volume and opened the yacht wherever possible.
The objective was not to maximise gross tonnage, but to maximise the owner’s experience of the sea.”
