Utility is the yacht’s primary vocation wrapped in an innovative package that includes a fully certified heli-deck and a 50m storage area on the lower deck, where a complete inflatable waterpark will be stored in addition to other toys.
A special area onboard is the water sport centre, a showroom space for storing diving gear equipment, sea-bobs, various surfboards and electric bicycles, where guests can prepare for their adventures. In addition, the yacht is equipped with two guest cabins, one large master cabin and luxurious relaxation areas where guests can take it easy after their water activities. The bridge deck and sundeck, for example, are ideal for parties and social events. The yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests and 12 crew members.
Currently under construction at Alia Yachts, delivery of the Alia Sea Club 53m is scheduled for the end of 2023, which represents once again a very fast build time of just 24 months.
