The Art of Bespoke Luxury: Alia Yachts Unveils the 45m Superyacht SAN

The 45m superyacht SAN marks a new milestone for Alia Yachts, embodying bespoke craftsmanship, sophisticated design, and advanced engineering. Created through a close partnership between Sinot Yacht Architecture and Lateral Naval Architects, this full-custom marvel represents a luxurious escape on the water and a feat of bespoke engineering that pushes the boundaries of yacht design.

With its sleek coupé-style yacht profile, the 45-meter superyacht SAN prioritizes harmony between indoor spaces and the seascape. Panoramic glazing, versatile open-air decks, and thoughtfully arranged interiors make this seamless integration possible. Every inch of SAN has been optimized for an experience that combines the tranquility of the ocean with the thrill of refined luxury.

Vision and Design Philosophy

The design philosophy behind the 45-meter superyacht SAN centers on creating an immersive connection with the sea. Alia Yachts collaborated with Sinot Yacht Architecture to bring this vision to life, carefully balancing aesthetics with functionality. The sleek, low-profile exterior ensures the yacht sits gracefully on the water while the interior remains spacious and inviting—a hallmark of luxury yacht design.

Alia’s in-house team, Alia Interiors Atelier, worked closely with Sinot, ensuring every element aligned with the yacht’s modern and minimalist aesthetic. The emphasis on open, panoramic spaces and minimal obstructions enables constant visual engagement with the ocean.

Exceptional Open-Air Deck Spaces

The 45-meter superyacht SAN boasts a distinctive main deck aft, where shaded sofa seating provides comfort, and terraced steps lead down to sun pads and folding bulwarks. Thanks to Alia Yachts’ innovations in deck furniture design, these innovative features expand the beach club area, allowing for various configurations—from al fresco dining to sunbathing.

One notable feature is the teak dining table, which adjusts from coffee table height to a full dining setup, allowing seamless transitions to match any occasion. The foredeck includes a large sun pad and accompanying table, which can be converted into a lounging space with additional cushions. Beneath the foredeck, a tender garage and crane are neatly concealed, ensuring effortless access to water-based activities.

Optimized Interior Space and Clever Layout

The 45m superyacht SAN interior is a study in functional elegance. Designed with bespoke engineering and meticulous attention to detail, SAN’s interior maximizes every square centimeter without compromising comfort. According to Paul Costerus, Senior Yacht Designer at Sinot, optimizing the space was crucial for maintaining a sense of spaciousness and flow. Ergonomics were essential to ensure guests could move freely around the yacht.

The main deck saloon is the heart of the yacht, offering an open-plan design with sole-to-ceiling glazing that invites panoramic views. The slim mullions create a seamless connection to the outside, and cut-outs in the bulwarks allow for sightlines to the sea, even from seating areas. To maintain SAN’s sleek profile, a sunken Japanese-style seating area was incorporated, preserving headroom in the pilothouse without altering the yacht’s exterior aesthetic.

Minimalist Interior Design with Warm Tones

The 45m superyacht SAN embraces a minimalist aesthetic with a carefully curated selection of materials, including teak, stained oak, eucalyptus, and tan leather. These warm, earthy tones create an inviting environment that feels luxurious and grounded. The minimalist design is enhanced with intricate details, such as butterfly joints in the woodwork and saddle-stitched leather, offering subtle hints of refinement.

The choice of just 15 premium materials throughout the yacht speaks to SAN’s commitment to simplicity and elegance, a hallmark of luxury yacht design. Alia Interiors Atelier crafted much of the custom-fitted furniture, ensuring it aligns with the yacht’s sleek, modern aesthetic. This seamless integration of design and functionality highlights Alia Yachts’ innovations in luxury.

Elegant Guest Accommodations with Chic Details

The lower deck houses four guest suites, each featuring carefully selected tones and unique accents, accessible via a spiral staircase behind the main saloon’s bar. The master stateroom, located forward, is a sanctuary of understated luxury, boasting large, compound-curved glass windows that allow ample natural light to flood the space. Custom details, such as stainless steel accents in the closet, provide practical touches while maintaining the refined aesthetic.

The master stateroom is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a mirror that slides to reveal a hull window. The carefully designed guest suites include bathrooms clad in golden beige Luget limestone, sourced from France, offering a touch of natural beauty. Practicality is thoughtfully balanced with luxury, providing an environment where elegance and convenience coexist harmoniously.

Crew Accommodations and State-of-the-Art Engineering

The 45-meter superyacht SAN crew quarters provide comfortable and efficient accommodations for up to seven crew members. A professional-grade galley, laundry, and crew dinette offer practical spaces for daily operations. The Volvo Penta engines housed in the engine room provide SAN with ample power, delivering a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots, ensuring that the yacht combines luxury with performance.

Strengthening Alia Yachts’ Reputation in Custom Yacht Design

Launching the 45m superyacht SAN cements Alia Yachts’ position as a leader in custom superyacht construction, setting a high standard for bespoke luxury and innovative design. The 45m superyacht SAN combines advanced engineering, aesthetic precision, and client-centric design, offering a vessel that appeals to discerning yacht enthusiasts.

With panoramic views, flexible spaces, and a warm yet minimalist interior, the 45m superyacht SAN is not only a testament to Sinot Yacht Architecture but also a reflection of Alia Yachts’ commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and visionary luxury. Every detail on SAN reflects the owner’s vision, which was made possible through a collaborative design process that ensured each aspect of the yacht met the highest bespoke engineering and design standards.
