New year, new flagship for Sirena Yachts.

The Turkish yard has announced that the first Sirena 118 is nearing completion, with the superyacht steadily coming to fruition at the Yalova facility. The inaugural hull is scheduled to launch this year, at which point it will become the largest Sirena on the water.

The 118 is the biggest GRP yacht in the Sirena lineup, surpassing the 88 by a good 30 feet. Featuring exteriors by Sirena’s in-house team, naval architecture by Germán Frers, and interiors by Cor D. Rover, the model is at once stylish, spacious, and, for a superyacht, pretty speedy.

“As the first Sirena 118 continues to take shape, we are proud to see the design vision materialising across every area of the build,” Sirena CEO Çağin Genc said in a statement. “The craftsmanship of our team, together with our long-standing partners such as Cor D. Rover and Germán Frers, is bringing this new flagship to life in a way that truly reflects the spirit of Sirena.”

The newcomer has a volume of under 300 GT yet showcases an expansive tri-deck layout. The interior can be tailored to the owner’s taste, but you can expect high-quality materials and plenty of natural light throughout. The accommodation can sleep up to 12 guests and seven crew. The owner’s suite is typically positioned forward on the main deck, but you have the option to expand it across two decks to create a “loft” with direct access from a private spiral staircase. Four guest cabins and a VIP suite sit on the lower deck, along with the crew quarters.

There is ample space for both entertaining and relaxing, too. The main deck offers both lounge and dining areas. Above that, the upper deck sports a wet bar and an additional dining area. The bow is outfitted with a Jacuzzi and sun pads, while the aft deck is equipped with fold-out wings and a hydraulic platform for easy ocean access.

In terms of cruising, the 118 features a highly efficient fast-displacement hull that significantly reduces drag, thereby lowering fuel consumption. Twin MAN V-12 engines capable of producing 3,100 hp give the vessel a top speed of 16 knots. You can also opt for a more powerful package with 3,800 hp engines that push the max speed to 21 knots.

The inaugural unit has yet to undergo engine installation, paint completion, interior joinery, launch, and sea trials before delivery later this year.
