UPDATE, January 2024: the Sirena 85 series is no longer in production. Read on for our original article.
With two motoryacht models so far, each only about a year old, Turkey’s Sirena Yachts is not sitting still. It’s currently constructing its first-ever superyacht, the Sirena 85.
The shipyard is intent on attracting American buyers as much as other international customers. In fact, it announced full details about the project at the Miami Yacht Show, which wraps up today. This follows an initial Sirena 85 announcement last autumn.
Naval architecture and interior design come from two names well known to Americans: German Frers and Cor D. Rover Design. The Frers studio styled and engineered the smaller Sirena models, the Sirena 56 and 64. It’s giving the Sirena 85 a similar look, for a family feel. A similar approach applies to the hull form. Constructed of fiberglass, with a carbon composite superstructure, the 85 should see relatively low fuel burn throughout the speed range. German Frers himself of the eponymous design studio says top speed should be 26 knots depending on the engine package selected. Hull number one, for example, has twin 1,400-hp MANs and should hit 25 knots, according to the yard. In addition, she should exceed 2,500 miles at 10 knots.
There’s also a choice when it comes to the interior. Cor D. Rover Design has two layouts, one with four staterooms and the other with five. Regardless, both have main-deck master suites (above), with a balcony as well as private access forward to an alfresco area. Hull number one has a pool here (see top). Alternately, the Sirena 85 can feature a cozy sunning and dining spot solely for your use.
“Our interior design philosophy is based upon an inseparable link between the inside and the outside of the yacht,” Cor D. Rover explains. That explains the large ports, especially notable in the master suite. Full-height glass sits to both sides in the saloon/dining area, too, additionally sliding open.
For service ease, the Sirena 85 galley sits on the main deck. Related to this, the crew’s quarters, with two cabins and a shared head, has direct access to the engine room. While there’s a dedicated wheelhouse, there’s also a helm on the flying bridge. Most of the Sirena 85’s flying bridge benefits from the hardtop, though it’s retractable for more light and air. Most buyers will probably open it up when dining or enjoying drinks on the flying bridge. Besides having a table and bar, the deck has settees that convert to sunpads fully aft.
Look for hull number one in the Sirena 85 series to have four staterooms below decks. One is a full-beam VIP stateroom. The yacht will further have a tender garage convertible to a beach club.
