With the launch of the 53m Sea Club, Alia Yachts brings playfulness and luxury together like never before.

When finally released into the wild, the Sea Club 53 will become one of the most capable and flexible superyachts in the sub-500GT size range. It will be home to a helicopter, a submersible, a 13m tender, 8m crew tender, two sailing catamarans, two dinghies, two Waverunners and a host of other watersports equipment, dive gear and toys. Not only that, her accommodation runs to a luxurious master cabin and two guest cabins, plus a dedicated relaxation area.

At 53m, this superyacht has plenty of room for a helicopter pad and water toys

“The Sea Club 53 showcases the very best of our capabilities here at Alia Yachts,” said President Gökhan Çelik. “We’re thrilled to see her in the water, demonstrating her full potential for operating in great comfort at speeds up to 15 knots.

“It is a testament to our expert technical, engineering and boatbuilding teams here at Alia, as well as the close collaboration we have enjoyed with Azure Yacht Design for the exterior design and layout development, and with Diana Yacht Design for the naval architecture underpinning the hull.

“The Sea Club 53 has been an ambitiously rapid build. Thanks to an excellent relationship with the owner’s team at Technical Marine UK (TMUK) and quick thinking at our end, we have brought the project from dream to floating reality in a little over two years.”

The yacht was built entirely in-house for an owner who wanted all the fun of a chaseboat combined with the scale, finish and styling of a superyacht. The Sea Club 53 is a sophisticated platform for watersports, undersea exploration, and helicopter operations. In addition to the top-notch overnight accommodation for guests, the huge exterior deck areas are ideal for parties and social gatherings.

The hull, superstructure and heli deck were built separately before being joined together

Constructed in three separate parts comprising the hull, superstructure and the heli deck that were joined late in 2022. The heli deck is fully certified up to H-145 and there is 50sqm of toy storage space on the lower deck, alongside a dedicated water sports centre. There are also more than 20 modular water park elements, allowing the crew to create a complex new floating feature every day.

“The launch of project Sea Club marks the start of a whole new concept in the yachting industry,” said Onne Logger of Azure Yacht Design. “A unique combination of luxurious guest accommodation, enormous storage for tenders and toys, and an unparalleled number of entertainment possibilities.

“The owner’s goal was to fit the storage and the entertainment amenities which would be usually found on an 80m-plus vessel, while keeping the rich and elegant look of a superyacht.”

The Sea Club 53 is the result of strong collaboration between the owner and his captain, Alia Yachts and the designers (Azure Yacht Design), the naval architects (Diana Yacht Design), and the owner’s representative (TMUK).
