Alia Yachts

What Alia Yachts does

Alia Yachts is a privately held, bespoke luxury superyacht builder operating from a purpose-built shipyard in the Antalya Free Trade Zone, Turkey. Founded in 2008 (some sources reference 2003), the company directly employs approximately 300 engineers, craftspeople, and professionals and operates facilities exceeding 22,500 m² of indoor area within a 30,000 m² site capable of accommodating up to six yachts simultaneously, including vessels up to 90 metres in length and up to 2,000 tonnes at launch. The product range spans 24.7-60.2m motor yachts (planning, semi-displacement, and displacement), sailing yachts, and shadow/support vessels, constructed in steel, aluminium, and composite materials with conventional ICE, hybrid, or electric propulsion capability. A single patented hull form (Samurai) and three 2022 Boat International Design and Innovation Awards (AL WAAB) constitute the primary intangible IP signals.

The business model is direct-to-consumer bespoke commissioning: each yacht begins from a blank design sheet, customers engage through initial consultation, visit the Antalya shipyard as desired during the multi-year build, and are assigned a dedicated project manager. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue recognized as one-time build contracts and a secondary stream from in-house refit and refurbishment work executed by the 100+ person interiors atelier. Notable external design partners include Vripack, Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, Lateral, Omega Architects, Redman Whitley Dixon, Dixon Yacht Design, Azure Yacht Design, Pastrovich Studio, Cor D. Rover Design, Warwick Yacht Design, and Sorgiovanni Designs. Alia holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications through Lloyd's Register, with individual vessels classed by Lloyd's Register, RINA, Bureau Veritas, and GL, and operates under KVKK/PDPR data protection compliance. The target customer segment is exclusively ultra-high-net-worth individuals commissioning one-off vessels, with global reach through direct engagement rather than a dealer network.
