In the luxurious world of yachts and superyachts, a new star has risen. Named the Synthesis S.60, this innovative chaseboat is the brainchild of design-savvy thinktank SPARK Marine Projects. Conceived in Monaco but built with help from New Zealand’s Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders, the Synthesis S.60 made its grand debut at the recent Monaco Yacht Show, where it captured significant attention due to its distinct features. This creation isn’t merely a boat; it’s a carefully built platform designed to revolutionise yacht support operations.
Its primary attraction is a purpose-built, foil-assisted hull, which masterfully amalgamates seakeeping qualities, fuel efficiency, and range without compromising the staple aesthetic appeal and detailing that one would expect from the luxury yacht field. However, the magic of the Synthesis S.60 is not merely confined to its hull. The central cabin is fully climate-controlled and can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests and two crew members.
Pioneering new standards in luxury sailing, Alia Yachts has launched its latest game-changer, the custom-built 50-metre superyacht ALY501. Constructed at its Antalya site in Turkey, this high-strength Alustar aluminium and full carbon superstructure are crafted to embody a remarkable blend of rigidity, efficiency, and extreme lightness, making it a notable step in maritime innovation.
Sporting a futuristic ‘aircraft-carrier’ bow, ALY501’s design showcases a captivatingly modern profile. But this yacht is not just about looks. Fitted with three water jet propulsion units, she is engineered to deliver high speeds, making for an adventurous sailing experience.
Alia Yachts’ commitment to precision, emotion, and innovation is apparent in the creation of ALY501. As Alia Yachts’ president Gökhan Çelik eloquently puts it, ‘She’s engineered to be light, fast, complex and fearless— a testament to the harmony of performance and luxury.’
