Unveiling the Remarkably Uncluttered Aesthetic of Genie Blu: Alia Yachts’ Latest 45m Fully Custom Superyacht

From the bustling shipyard of Alia Yachts, tucked away in Antalya, emerges a nautical gem that redefines yacht design - the Genie Blu. Revealing its sleek all-white profile, Genie Blu soars beyond traditional yachting ideas. The yacht’s minimalist profile, crafted with drop-down side wings and floor-to-ceiling glass, contributes to its remarkably uncluttered aesthetic. Every incautious observer’s eye will be caught by the distinct craftsmanship brought to life by Alia Yachts’ in-house design team and the esteemed Italian studio, Luca Dini Design & Architecture. The sleek, contemporary profile bespoke to its proud owner, the illustrious Italian entrepreneur, Gianluca Vacchi, will set sail before the summer season wraps.

However, to truly appreciate the Genie Blu, one must understand its design philosophy that emphasises subtraction over addition. Genie Blu’s design deliberately eliminates barriers, reduces unnecessary volume, and expands open spaces wherever possible. The aim is not to cater to gross tonnage but to accentuate the owner’s experience of the sea in utmost purity. This unique architectural approach doesn’t end within its interiors but extends to its deck where the seating flows to an expansive aft swim platform via a grand cascade of steps. A vast lounge and open foredeck provide more space for guests, crowned by a discreet sunpad area.

Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts, considers Genie Blu as a testament to the freedom of crafting one’s sea-centric sanctuary. Instead of prioritising interior volume, the emphasis leans towards purity, proportion, and the owner’s experience of the sea. This unconventional approach perfectly aligns with Alia Yachts’ build philosophy, steering an exciting journey for the owner and the team.

Alia Yachts’ track record of custom new builds, such as the unique 50-metre Atlantide with an ‘aircraft-carrier’ bow and the iconic 60-metre Serenity II, prove this Turkish shipyard to be a pioneer in state-of-the-art seafaring designs. Yet, Genie Blu stands as an exclamation point in their yachting narrative, allowing everyone involved to proudly witness her baptism into the water.
