Alia Yachts has introduced its latest fully custom yacht, the 43m Ximena, in emphatic fashion at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Positioned along Flagler Drive, the yacht quickly became one of the standout vessels of the show, drawing attention for both her assertive exterior design and the first unveiling of her meticulously crafted interior.
“It was incredibly rewarding to see Ximena come to life in Palm Beach,” said Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts. “She captures exactly what we stand for at Alia, a truly custom yacht, built without compromise. Every aspect of her design and performance is driven by the owner’s vision. She is fast, distinctive and deeply personal. In many ways, she represents the direction we believe this segment should be heading.”
Performance with intent
Penned by Omega Architects with naval architecture from Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Ximena immediately signals her purpose. Her sharp, arrowhead profile and pronounced pelican bow give her a sense of forward motion even at anchor, a yacht designed not just to be seen, but to move.
Beneath the surface, her fast displacement hull form delivers a compelling balance of speed and efficiency. With a top speed of 22.6 knots and a 20-knot cruising speed, she offers serious long-range capability without sacrificing comfort. A shallow draft of just 2.1 metres further enhances her versatility, opening up cruising grounds from the Bahamas to more remote, shallow anchorages.
