Sirena Superyachts 42M Makes Her Debut

The inaugural steel-hulled megayacht from Sirena Marine is about two months from making her international premiere. Having just sold, this first Sirena Superyachts 42M also celebrated a traditional christening with her owners this week.

The yacht is the biggest in Sirena’s history. This makes the sale, arranged in-house, more significant, according to Ali Onger, the chief commercial officer. “It is confirmation that our approach to building modern, highly capable superyachts resonates with experienced owners,” he says. Additionally, the sale of the 433-gross-ton yacht “reflects the strength of the relationships we build with our clients,” which could indicate that customers with a smaller Sirena yacht are the new owners.

Regardless, the shipyard expanded into the megayacht market because it was confident it could introduce different designs and approaches. Construction began on spec for the Sirena Superyachts 42M in 2024, one of three Sirena Superyachts models. (The other two are the Sirena 35M and the Sirena 50M, neither under construction just yet.) Each features a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, with styling by Luca Vallebona. While the shipyard requested a sporty, open profile, Vallebona personally wanted to add architecturally striking elements. To that end, a patio-like alfresco area on the main deck (above) is exclusively for the owners to use. A stairway further lets the owners access the upper deck without having to re-enter their suite and walk through the interior.

Although no specifics are available on the interior décor, the shipyard approached Hot Lab early on in the development process. Overall, the designers have prioritized natural materials and an abundance of curves for a look and feel that appeals to many current buyers. Besides being able to step out onto a private alfresco patio, the owners can entertain friends and family in interior and outdoor lounges, including the beach club. Naturally, it has fold-down sides to amplify the sensation of space.

Naval architecture, meanwhile, is by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. It is employing its Fast Displacement Hull Form as well as the Hull Vane foil for additional efficiency. Full particulars on the propulsion system and anticipated performance aren’t yet available.

Those interested in seeing the final results and speaking with Sirena about their own project can get aboard at the Monaco Yacht Show. “The 42m is much more than our flagship, it represents the beginning of a new era for Sirena Superyachts,” asserts Çağın Genç, CEO of Sirena Marine.
