Turkish yard to begin construction of its first 42M superyacht

Sirena Marine is beginning construction of the first 42-metre model from its new Sirena Superyachts line.

Turkish shipyard Sirena, which has previously built yachts from 16 to 27 metres, launched the Sirena Superyachts line at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2022, hoping to appeal to younger buyers with a range of vessels at 35 metres, 42 metres and 50 metres.

The boats were originally unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022, where the Turkish shipyard promised to maximise the onboard experience for owners and guests.

Luca Vallebona has been selected to create the exterior and layout on the Sirena 42M, while the Italian studio Hot Lab, part of The Viken Group, has been chosen to design the interior spaces.

Sirena 42M master cabin

Sirena says the layout of the 42-metre Sirena Superyachts model can be tailormade to the needs of an owner, with options that include locating the owner’s suite on the main or upper decks, which in turn allows for a dedicated dining area in the saloon or something less formal, and to create a guest area in the bow dedicated to fine dining or relaxation.

“The main layout features the owner’s cabin at the bow, a solution designed to provide direct access to the forward patio, an open and private space that strongly characterises my design proposal for the Sirena 42M,” says designer Luca Vallebona. “Often, reference is made to large windows as a method to enhance the relationship between the interior and exterior. In the case of Sirena Superyachts, I wanted to take this concept a step further, ensuring not only expansive views of the landscape but also the possibility of physically stepping outside of the usually enclosed interior.”

The treatment of the patio with elements such as a pergola, the pool, and the staircase leading to the upper deck ensures that this secluded, unexpected, and bright space at the bow of the boat becomes an integral part of the interior space design.

The rest of the main deck interior space is characterised by an aft salon, which continues outside to the aft pool. The salon’s windows emphasise the connection with the outside, and efforts have been made to reduce the number of lateral pillars to allow the view to span horizontally, parallel to the landscape.

“The four guest cabins are located on the lower deck, with two VIP cabins featuring transverse beds and the entire partition that separates them from the guest cabins serving as a wardrobe,” continues Vallebona.

“Thanks to this solution and the en-suite bathrooms that separate them from the technical areas aft (garage and engine room), sound insulation in these spaces is well taken care of. In these cabins as well, the use of curved elements alternating with more rectilinear lines is evident. In general, using curves, large fillets, and dynamic walls, I wanted to create the opportunity for an interior where there is always an element that can stand out from the rest, clear and not redundant.”

The version with the extended living area, in addition to an aft salon entirely dedicated to the lounge, offers two areas that can be highly personalised. The first is the area forward of the stairs on the starboard side, an intimate space that can serve as a game room, sitting area, or studio. The forward part is designed as a comfortable and welcoming dining area.

“We focused a lot on the transition zones, like the one on the main deck leading to the stairs and the owner’s suite,” Vallebona says. “Often, these connecting spaces are somewhat neglected from a compositional perspective, when they can actually become beautiful spatial ‘narratives.’”

“The effect we wanted to achieve is certainly that of a studied environment rich in detail, but at the same time one that did not become mannerist at all costs,” says Enrico Lumini, partner and head of design at Hot Lab. “The lines are essential, almost obvious, yet in their continuous chromatic and material contrast, they find strength and richness.”

The Hot Lab team says it chose materials ranging from natural beech and oak to cotton and chenille for the sofas, and metal – in a titanium effect – for the deckhead panels. The Sirena 42M superyacht style combines Nordic design, with a relaxed, Mediterranean ambience.

Cagin Genc, CEO of Sirena, says the interior reflects the concept of the entire yacht – a ‘waterborne dream home’ that is adaptable to multiple needs.

“It has been a desire of the Sirena management team to work with Luca Vallebona and Hot Lab for a long time, and we are excited by the results of our collaboration,” says Genc. “The interiors are simply stunning, with stylishly realised options that allow for highly personalised finishing coupled to design flexibility in layout that ties in perfectly with Sirena’s forward-thinking approach to general arrangements without impacting on engineering elements.

“Hot Lab captured the essence of Sirena’s unique superyachts and their innovative and inviting layouts, and we are confident our enthusiasm will be shared by our clients.”
