In a groundbreaking move within the superyacht industry, Alia Yachts has unveiled its latest complete custom creation, the Sea Club 53. This 53-meter vessel, launched with a synchro lift in Antalya, Turkey, heralds a new class of superyachts designed to carry an impressive array of toys and tenders while providing luxurious accommodations and unparalleled flexibility. The Sea Club 53 is set to redefine the standards for sub-500GT superyachts, combining high functionality with exquisite design.
Innovative Design and Unmatched Capabilities
The Sea Club 53 is a testament to Alia Yachts' innovative spirit and technical prowess. Designed for an owner who desires the thrill of a chase boat combined with the elegance of a superyacht, this vessel is a sophisticated platform for water sports, undersea exploration, and helicopter operations. It features a fully certified H-145 helicopter deck, allowing seamless aerial operations.
One of the standout features of the Sea Club 53 is its extensive storage capacity. The yacht boasts a cavernous 50 square meters of toy storage on the lower deck, which includes space for a submersible, a 13-meter tender, an 8-meter crew tender, two sailing catamarans, two dinghies, two Waverunners, and a multitude of other water sports equipment and diving gear. Additionally, the yacht carries over 20 modular water park elements, enabling the crew to create a new water feature daily.
Despite its focus on functionality and storage, the Sea Club 53 does not compromise on luxury. It offers accommodation for six guests in three elegantly appointed cabins, including a main suite and two guest cabins. These spaces are designed to provide the utmost comfort and sophistication, in line with the highest standards of superyacht living.
The exterior deck areas of Sea Club 53 are expansive and ideal for hosting parties and social gatherings. These areas are designed to maximize guest enjoyment, offering plenty of space for relaxation and entertainment.
Collaborative Effort and Rapid Construction
The Sea Club 53 results from a remarkable collaborative effort between Alia Yachts and several key partners. Azure Yacht Design was responsible for the exterior design and layout development, while Diana Yacht Design handled the naval architecture. The project also benefited from the close involvement of the owner’s team at Technical Marine UK (TMUK), ensuring that every aspect of the owner's vision was realized.
"The Sea Club 53 showcases the very best of our capabilities here at Alia Yachts," said Gökhan Çelik, president of Alia Yachts. "We’re thrilled to see her in the water demonstrating her full potential for operating in great comfort at speeds up to 15 knots. This achievement is due to our expert technical, engineering, and boatbuilding teams and the excellent relationship we have enjoyed with our partners."
The construction of Sea Club 53 was completed in an ambitiously rapid timeframe of just over two years. This was achieved by constructing the yacht in three parts—the hull, superstructure, and heli deck—before joining them in late 2022. This innovative approach allowed for a more efficient build process and ensured the project stayed on schedule.
The launch of the Sea Club 53 marks the beginning of a new concept in the superyacht industry. As Onne Logger of Azure Yacht Design explains, "The launch of project Sea Club marks the start of a whole new concept in the yachting industry. It is a unique combination of luxurious guest accommodation, enormous storage for tenders and toys, and unparalleled entertainment possibilities. The owner’s goal was to fit the storage and entertainment amenities, usually found on an 80m+ vessel, while keeping a superyacht's rich and elegant look."
This unique combination of features positions the Sea Club 53 as a trailblazer in the world of superyachts, offering a blend of luxury, versatility, and adventure unmatched in its class. It represents a significant achievement for Alia Yachts and sets a new benchmark for future superyacht designs.
With the Sea Club 53, Alia Yachts has launched a new vessel and defined a new genre of superyachts. Combining luxurious accommodations, extensive storage capabilities, and advanced water sports and helicopter operations features, the Sea Club 53 offers an unparalleled experience for its owner and guests. This innovative yacht exemplifies the cutting-edge design and engineering that Alia Yachts is known for, setting a new standard in the industry and paving the way for the future of superyachting.
