Ximena: the new 43m yacht from Alia Yachts
Alia Yachts has launched its first new boat of 2025, a 43m destined for the US. The fully custom aluminium vessel splashed at Alia’s Antalya shipyard and is going to be delivered this autumn.
Project ALY431, to be known as Ximena in the future, has a pelican's bill bow and dynamic lines by Omega Architects and the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by Van Oossanen, and is capable of achieving a top speed of 22.6 knots. It strikes peak efficiency across multiple speeds, including cruising at 20 knots and long-range economy performance at 12 knots.
Generous glazing at main deck level brings light flooding into the owner’s suite forward and the large saloon. Four guest cabins are spaciously arranged over the lower deck, with room for up to seven crew for optimal service. Exterior spaces are just as extensive, with a foredeck lounge, cockpit and that flexible upper deck. It is quintessential al fresco design for a Miami lifestyle – an unmistakably contemporary take on classic raised pilothouse yachts.
Final interior finishing and loose furnishings were among the last elements of the build phase, and now the yacht is afloat she will undergo commissioning, class and flag approval. Following delivery later this year, she is destined to head for the US where she will ply the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. A low draft of 2.10m and a range of 850 nautical miles at 20 knots make her ideal for crossing the Gulf Stream and exploring the islands.
The yard is expecting to launch another sleek 50m coupé project in October, and a 60m tri-deck yacht before the end of the year, bringing the total to more than 150m of tailor-made superyachtery in 2025.
