Sirena Marine just keeps growing. Last year the high-class Turkish builder started its new powerboat line (officially called Sirena Yachts) with a 64-foot long-range cruiser, first shown at the Dusseldorf show, followed by a 56-foot version introduced at the Miami show. Now it will have both of those models in the water at the Cannes show in September, where Ipek Kirac, the company’s CEO, will announce plans for an even larger yacht.
Both the 56 and 64 are impressive cruising boats with clean, contemporary European lines and curved wraparound pilothouse windows. They come with an impeccable pedigree. German Frers, one of the best names in naval architecture, is responsible for the exterior lines and the hull, while Tomasso Spadolini, of Design Studio Spadolini in Florence, did the interior.
Frers designed the fuel-efficient hulls to run in either planing or semi-displacement modes. The boats have the distinct appearance of an expedition yacht, he said in Miami, while the hull “gives the best performance at a wide range of speed. It means the owners can cruise in comfort and safety with low fuel consumption and explore all corners of the globe.” The boats come with a Class A hull designation for seaworthiness.
The 56 (the boat in the left in the picture above) is available in either a two- or three-cabin configuration, all with en suite heads. The full-beam master stateroom is midships, but the surprise is the VIP forward with a queen-sized berth under light flowing down from the pilothouse skylight; that stateroom is large enough for two comfortable settees and a table. The 56 tops out at 24 knots, while at 10 knots it has a range of 850 nm with a 10 percent reserve.
The 64, the largest Sirena so far, comes with three cabins and three heads, and an absolutely enormous flying bridge with an optional Jacuzzi. It has a top speed of 27 knots; dialed back to 10 knots, the 64 has a range of 1,000 nm. You can see more details about both boats in our earlier reviews.
Sirena Marine was founded in 2006. So far, it has built some 250 powerboats (and 100 sailboats), including the Magellano brand for Azimut.
