Experience A Touch of Timeless Charm: Ares Yachts Launches 'Simena', its 62m Flagship Yacht with Historic Clipper-Inspired Design
Luxury yacht enthusiasts are set for a thrilling wave as Ares Yachts magnificently launches its new flagship, Simena. Strikingly standing at 62 metres, this ketch sails from its shipyard in Antalya, inspired by a dignified, bygone era of sail. The allure of yesteryears is captured with design lines reminiscent of clipper ships, rendered under RINA Class C in steel–carbon composite by the renowned Taka Yacht Design.
Unveiled ahead of its world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, Simena also boasts the nostalgic charm reflected by the captivating teak decks and varnished Sipo mahogany exteriors, seemingly paying homage to the age-old maritime heritage nestled in the ancient Turkish city. Its name sets an intriguing premise for sea lovers who adore a touch of history and tradition in their luxury sailing experience.
Simena’s interior sophistication is well juxtaposed with contemporary comfort, managed stealthily for undisturbed visual appeal. Modern conveniences such as a television lift in the owner’s suite and salon are cleverly incorporated. The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests, with available configurations across three double and two twin cabins. A separate owner’s cabin can be found forward on the main deck including indulgences such as a dressing room, lounge sofa and a Jacuzzi.
Ares Yachts’ new masterpiece is powered by 220kW electric motors, further bolstered with an additional diesel engine of 882kW output. At top velocity, Simena can cut through the waves at a healthy clip of 15 knots, while preserving silent operations at speeds up to 6 knots. The yacht’s user-friendly electronic remote-control system for propulsion, with controllable pitch propellers, aims to offer a comfortable and smooth sailing experience.
All indications point to the thrilling potential of both past and present sea-faring enthusiasts setting sail in Simena. Marrying the golden aura of yesteryears with the technological sophistication of today’s yacht designs, Ares Yachts’ flagship certainly sets a new standard in luxurious yachting.
