At the Dubai International Boat Show, a mega stage for the world's premier yacht manufacturers, one brand made an audacious splash. Sancrea Yachts, the Turkish titan renowned for its innovative creations, introduced the maritime world to its latest creature of the sea - an imposing aluminium range of yachts.
At the helm of this fresh fleet is the flagship model, ALU 90, a 27.8-metre gem born from a collaboration with Abbasli Design, the virtuosos also behind Tankoa Yachts' 'Project Stardust'. Bestowed with RINA certification and powered by a twin MAN propulsion system, this gem of the sea impresses with high efficiency and nimble handling attributes.
Keeping up with their trailblazing reputation, Sancrea Yachts also dropped another bombshell - the first unit of the 21.8-metre ALU 70 series has already found an owner. Prepared to showcase custom interiors by Italian designer Bassan & Benedetti, this exquisite yacht is set for delivery in mid-2026.
From this stunning revelation at the Dubai International Boat Show, it's clear that Sancrea Yachts isn't simply building boats, they're shaping the future of yachting luxury.

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
