Alia Yachts has revealed that its 45-metre superyacht, Project SAN, will showcase internationally at the Monaco Yacht Show this year, following her triumphant sea trials in June 2024. The bespoke, all-aluminium vessel was crafted by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, with Lateral Naval Architects responsible for the naval architecture. Her exterior boasts a low, menacing superstructure, a raised pilothouse, and sleek, sharp lines. Early visuals highlight her pronounced bow and uncluttered deck areas.
Project SAN's design emphasizes outdoor living, featuring a "fully open main deck extending from stern to bow without significant visual barriers," as described by Paul Costerus, partner and lead designer at Sinot. "The outdoor furniture is versatile," Costerus explained. "Tables transform from dining to cocktail setups, and sunbathing zones convert to cozy seating. The aft deck's sunbathing area expands by lowering the bulwarks, enhancing the outdoor living experience."
Although imagery remains undisclosed, her interiors are characterized as "minimalist with a focus on detail," featuring full-height windows to keep the yacht's environment in view. Accommodation is located on the lower deck, including a spacious owner's cabin and a four-cabin layout. Gökhan Çelik, the shipyard president, stated: "Project SAN, with its innovative and appealing design philosophy, will bolster our aim to be acknowledged as one of the premier custom yacht builders globally by delivering projects of such high caliber."
This announcement comes after Alia Yachts' collaboration with Burgess on a custom 45-metre superyacht. The project will unite H2 Yacht Design, Vickers Studio, and Van Oossanen, with an expected delivery in 2026.
