Sirena 78 Yacht Lands on American Shores: WATCH

With 40 to 50 percent of sales currently coming from American cruisers, Sirena Yachts has grown in leaps and bounds in its six years of business. Increasingly, those cruisers want bigger boats. Having just introduced the Sirena 78 yacht to U.S. buyers at the Fort Lauderdale show last month, the Turkish shipyard feels confident it will attract owner-operators as well as buyers who want crew to take the wheel.

Sirena Yachts, which recently established the Sirena Superyachts division, knows how to make a big impression. The 78 is open plan from the aft-deck doors straight to the windscreen. Furthermore, there’s no helm at the windscreen, leaving the floorplan entirely for relaxation and entertainment. That includes the saloon aft, where loose furnishing is yours to select, plus a fore-aft, marble-clad galley prep counter forward. Its waterfall edges are likely the first thing you’ll see when you enter the deck, too, since it’s that rare to see aboard a small superyacht. Actually, it’s rare aboard larger superyachts, too, but a level of detail you don’t expect of the Sirena 78 yacht’s LOA.

You’ll see fit to take the Sirena 78 yacht multiple places, too. The shipyard’s entire lineup of yachts and superyachts are for long-range cruisers, after all. Expect a 1,500-nautical-mile range at 10 knots from this model. It’s more than enough to cover much of the West or East Coast, or hop over to island chains. Or all of the above.
