Sirena Yachts has launched its new flagship model, the Sirena 88. At 26.8m, it is the largest yacht ever built by the Turkish yard.

“This bigger model means we now play in a new category and I’m sure we are now ready for this,” says CEO Ipek Kirac. “Over 400 boats (410 to date) that we have produced so far are now cruising all over the world, and they keep receiving huge acclaim.”

The Sirena 88 has naval architecture by German Frers and a Cor D Rover interior. The composite hull was fully vacuum infused, using E-glass and vinylester resin. The all-carbon fibre construction deck and super structure were also vacuum-infused, and the hull, deck and superstructure have been joined. The furniture is now being fitted on the main-deck interior as well as areas on the lower deck and the flybridge.

The Sirena 88 has generous volume for a raised pilothouse design and will feature a five-stateroom layout with a main-deck master with panoramic views. The master suite will have a sitting area to port along with a foldout balcony. To starboard will be a combination desk and dressing table. Forward, the head features distinctive windows that curve into the overhead to serve as skylights along with a walk-in double shower and private toilet compartment.

The layout belowdecks features an amidships VIP suite and forward luxury guest cabin with private head and a pair of en-suite double guest staterooms between. A full-beam crew area insulates the guest accommodations from the engine space, and provides up to four crew with a private sitting room and two cabins.

“The layout is something that we can change to meet a client’s needs,” says Tanil Surmeli, product manager for Sirena Yachts. “We are able to play dramatically with the spaces within the structural confines of this hull. As a semi-custom builder, we are open to their ideas.”

The yacht’s raised pilothouse provides excellent sight-lines for navigation while taking the business of operating the yacht out of the main-deck areas to allow for a relaxing guest experience.

The Sirena 88 will perform at both planing and displacement speeds comfortably and economically. It’s expected to have a range of 2,400Nm at 9kt.
