The new flagship of the Azuree range, the 46 is the first Sirena Marina model to be designed and produced following a management restructure under new CEO Ipek Kirac.
Developed by Sirena Marine’s new team and built at the company’s hi-tech, purpose-built factory in Bursa, Turkey, this latest Azuree, says Humphreys, is, “a beautifully appointed world-class yacht, manufactured to the highest modern boatbuilding standards for owners looking for fast cruising in comfort and style.”
Providing high levels of safety and comfort both on the open seas and in anchorage, the 46 features an innovative cockpit with fold-down bathing platform and seats that transform quickly into sunbeds. When passage making or racing, the cockpit sunbeds and table fold away just as quickly to provide ample room for the crew to work the cockpit. Other options include a carbon rig together with a bowsprit to make setting of Code 0 headsails and gennakers all the easier and to further extend performance capability.
Below decks, the Azuree 46 exudes style and creativity. The use of light-oak in the interior accentuates the feeling of freshness and space throughout a light, capacious six-berth three-cabin layout. Accommodation includes an owner’s suite forward and two staterooms aft that convert into single-berthed cabins when required, with the option also to have a separate single cabin for a professional crew.
Underlining the significance of the Azuree 46 international launch at Cannes to her company, Sirena Marine CEO Ipek Kirac says: “The new 46 marks the culmination of an exciting new chapter in our company’s development. We have worked tirelessly to bring together local high quality boatbuilding skills and facilities with top international yacht designers. After a recent visit, one yachting editor described our facility here in Turkey as, ‘one of the best-kept secrets in the industry.’ The new 46 now provides further evidence that we have something very special indeed to offer anyone looking for the best in modern boatbuilding. The world premier of the Azuree 46 at Cannes is a significant milestone in the company’s new era and further projects will be announced shortly.”
Azuree 46 designer Rob Humphreys concludes: “With its new vision and considerable investment in the future, I believe that Sirena Marine is set to become a major force in the international boatbuilding industry.”
