The immediate focal point of SAN, a 45-meter full-custom superyacht by Alia Yachts, is its aft deck. It’s an architecture truly open to the sea, a habitable terrace that gently descends towards the water. Its versatility is enhanced by fold-down bulwarks, and it features shaded steps and sunbathing areas. The outdoor furnishings are multifunctional: a single hi-lo teak table transforms from a coffee table to a dining table, while forward, a second table expands with modular cushions.
Everything on board speaks to versatility and a direct connection with the marine environment, in a fluid design that supports contemporary yachting. The project bears the signature of Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design for both exterior and interior, with naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects. The full-aluminum construction was carried out at Alia Yachts’ shipyard in Antalya.
At the heart of the onboard experience is a coherent vision blending form and function, technology and style, luxury and thoughtful design. The interior layout is conceived to emphasize the visual and sensory connection with the sea. On the main deck, the saloon opens seamlessly to the exterior through floor-to-ceiling glass panels, free of intrusive mullions and complemented by carved bulwarks, all conceived to ensure an uninterrupted view of the horizon.
The interiors, developed by Sinot and executed by Alia Interiors’ atelier, are distinguished by a cohesive and sophisticated material palette: teak, stained oak, eucalyptus, and natural leather define an essential yet warm environment. Here, sobriety converses with bespoke details – such as butterfly joints in the wood, artisanal stitching, and contrasting polished steel. All fixed furnishings are custom-made, minimizing bulk to maximize usable space. Internal volumes were optimized centimeter by centimeter, incorporating original solutions like the Japanese-style lowered living area. This design cleverly allows for a lower ceiling in the wheelhouse, located on the upper deck, while still ensuring a comfortable headroom of 2.3 meters throughout the main living spaces.
The minimalist wheelhouse, inspired by an aircraft cockpit, further contributes to the yacht’s low-slung profile and taut lines. The measured elegance of the spaces extends to the guest cabins on the lower deck, accessed via a spiral staircase discreetly placed behind the saloon bar. The forward master suite leverages the hull’s form to shape a bright and refined space. Everything is designed to ensure visual lightness, essentiality, and a constant dialogue between the interiors and the horizon.
