Sneak Peek into the Elegance and Innovation of Alia Yacht's Striking Superyacht, Limerence

Published: 15 Jul 2025
Alia Yachts, the renowned Turkish shipyard, provides a rare glimpse into the exquisite Limerence, a powerhouse on the Mediterranean seas, pushing boundaries in luxury and performance.

Chartering across the glamorous Mediterranean is the breathtaking Limerence. A full-custom beauty from the lauded shipyard, Alia Yachts, she elegantly plies the azure waters with Christie Yachts. Her current anchorage graces the stunning coasts of Antibes, a jewel in the Mediterranean crown.

Designed by Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture, Limerence balloons with the heart of Alia Yachts’ ingenuity and capabilities, as aptly stated by Gökhan Çelik, the shipyard’s president. But the ultimate standout of this luxury liner is the raised aft deck. A spectacle in itself, it is both a fully certified helicopter deck and a giant hub for entertainment. Imagine a dance-floor on the high seas, or perhaps a volleyball, pickleball, or basketball court. The options are truly unlimited.

Originally envisaged as a support vessel, Limerence has morphed into a versatile superyacht armed with an arsenal of toys appropriate for indulgent sea lovers. This innovative approach led to a challenging yet gratifying build with the superyacht crafted in three unique parts – the hull, superstructure, and helideck, a design masterpiece of Dutch studio Diana Yacht Design.

Limerence, with interiors paralleling boutique hotels, showcases her roots as a support vessel with shell space for a 12.5-meter guest tender, 4.5-meter rescue tender, submarine, two wave-runners, two sailing dinghies, and two sailing catamarans. Coupled with a 50-square-meter storage equipped with 20 modular waterpark elements and additional space for small toys like diving equipment, surfboards, and electric bicycles, she is a treasure chest of adventure.

As Çelik aptly notes, ‘A yacht of this pedigree is not destined to spend much time in harbour.’ Indeed, Limerence is a vessel for those with a thirst for the sea’s thrills, promising to serve as a highly capable standalone yacht and an unparalleled support vessel swarming with amenities.
