Alia Yachts in Turkey is planning for the debut of its all-aluminum, fully custom, 148-foot yacht SAN at the Monaco Yacht Show at the end of September.

SAN is designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, with naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects. Power is courtesy of Volvo Penta and a quad setup of IPS drives.

According to the Alia shipyard, SAN has a fully open main deck from the stern to the bow, framed by sole-to-ceiling glass windows with sliding doors forward and aft.

“This design offers an unparalleled sense of openness and a seamless connection to the sea,” the yard stated in a press release. “SAN integrates indoor and outdoor spaces harmoniously, allowing for a straight walk from aft to forward and providing panoramic views through the expansive glass around the salon.”

Exterior deck furniture is designed to be multifunctional, so owners and guests can use it for any variations they want during dining, cocktails or sunbathing. Additional space can be found for relaxing far aft by lowering the bulwarks to expand the sunbathing area.

Belowdecks are four guest staterooms along with the owner’s stateroom.  

“SAN is a striking and innovative superyacht that highlights our strengths as a truly custom builder,” Gökhan Çelik, president of Alia Yachts, stated in the press release. “It’s projects like SAN that attract the best clients from all over the world, reinforcing our reputation as a leading custom yacht builder.”

Where is SAN right now? According to the shipyard, the yacht has completed sea trials and been delivered to its owners. Look for SAN to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show at the end of September.

Edmiston has released a list of yachts that are still accepting inquiries for charter at the Monaco Grand Prix, which is scheduled to take place May 23-26.

An important part of many charters at this event is the ability to host viewing and other parties for spectators on board. As such, charter clients should expect to incur additional costs beyond typical weekly base rates and expenses. Some yachts require a security deposit, for instance, or additional temporary crew to be brought on board to help with catering and service.

With that said, the 212-foot ISA Resilience can put on quite a show. It has the ability to host quayside events for as many as 110 guests. This 2021 build also has overnight accommodations for 12 guests with 16 crew. The master stateroom has fold-down balconies, and the VIP is on the upper deck with a private terrace.

Also available is the 224-foot Astilleros Armon power catamaran Wayfinder, which can host quayside events for as many as 200 people. This 2021 build has overnight accommodations for 12 guests, and typically charters with 19 or 20 crew. Key features include a pickleball court, basketball hoop and gymnasium with various machines and equipment.

Yet another option for Monaco Grand Prix charters is the 184-foot Benetti Jaguar, which can host quayside events for as many as 80 guests. Jaguar is a 2005 build that most recently was refitted in 2023. Its overnight accommodations are for 12 guests, with a usual crew complement of 12. The master stateroom spans the yacht’s full beam, and the VIP is on the upper deck.

Edmiston also is promoting the 216-foot Amels Ventum Maris for the Monaco Grand Prix, with the ability to host quayside events for as many as 50 guests. Ventum Maris is a 2011 build that most recently was refitted in 2019. Its overnight accommodations are for 12 guests in their choice of seven staterooms, two of which can be set up with double or twin berths. This yacht has a glass elevator that serves all decks, and a cinema projector up on the sundeck for movie nights.

Want a yacht for the Monaco Grand Prix that’s more midrange? Edmiston is offering the 92-foot Ferretti Alegria II, which can welcome as many as 20 guests for quayside events. It’s a 2020 build that has a sundeck bar and grill for entertaining friends with a good view of the action all around.

The organizers of the Monaco Yacht Show have presently confirmed that 300 exhibitors will be participating. They have also announced that nearly 60 superyachts will be exhibited, including 40 brand-new launches by some of the most famous shipyards – not to mention regulars here at the MYS – including: Benetti, Feadship, Lürssen, Oceanco, etc. (full list at the end of the press release).

As announced last February, the show will be focusing on offering superyacht’s end clientele a positively upmarket visiting experience.

The new Dockside Area, a part of the exhibition dedicated to companies directly linked with the construction or management of superyachts and tenders, will therefore be exclusively open to end customers (in possession of a “Discover”, “Advise” and “Sapphire Experience” badges) on Wednesday 22 September, before being opened up to all visitors starting Thursday.

The Dockside Area fits in perfectly with the way Monaco’s Port Hercule is divided up for the show: for several years now, each area of the exhibition has featured its own theme in order to better meet the visitors’ expectations.

A More Varied Exhibition

This year, visitors will be treated to two new exhibitions: The first is dedicated to sailing boats, held on Quai l’Hirondelle where several crafts will be moored opposite the stands representing their respective shipyards, designers and specialist equipment manufacturers.

In addition to the show’s historic Designer Gallery, the MYS will feature a Yacht Design & Innovation Hub: a new space for the presentation of yacht design projects where visitors can also interact with designers.

These two areas perfectly compliment the luxury tender and water toys exhibitions at Tender & Toys (Quai Antoine Ier), in addition to luxury cars at the Car Deck (Quai Antoine Ier), luxury products (Parvis Piscine tent), nautical equipment manufacturers and the latest tech releases (Darse Sud and Quai Albert Ier).

Sanitary Measures at the MYS

Rest assured: the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show will be “Covid-safe”! An anti-Covid sanitary protocol will be respected throughout the entire show, from the first day of preparations to the dismantling of the last stand and, of course, during the 4 days of the show.

General Manager of the exhibition Gaëlle Tallarida stated: “We are following the evolution of the pandemic very closely, as well as the sanitary constraints applied in each of our visitors’ home countries. As organizers of the exhibition, our responsibility is to ensure safe and healthy conditions for each visitor, exhibitor, service provider and member of staff. The MYS will therefore be following the health measures instated by the principality’s government, as well as the “AllSecure” health security program, which is mandatory for all Informa Group events.”

Information by the Monaco Government for Visitors

The pandemic has nevertheless brought about societal upheaval and direct changes to the way we live – not to mention consume. For the yacht sales and charter markets, 2020 turned out to be a fabulous year, reflecting a hedonistic drive among society’s wealthiest tiers. Today more than ever, people want to enjoy life and get back to basics: true human relationships.

This is especially true in a world as demanding and exhilarating as superyachting. Establish a real trusting and loyal relationship with the expert in charge of your yacht project and be sure to meet them in person.

In the end, yachting is all about emotions and senses: you need to see the yacht, touch the noble materials from which it has been crafted, picture all the great times you could share on board, feel safe and at home with your family and more. Yachting is a positively human adventure in which the virtual world is intrinsically limited… An adventure that lies just past the gates of the Monaco Yacht Show.
