Alia Yachts Presents 43m Ximena: A Fully Custom Statement of Speed and Design

Ximena

Alia Yachts has unveiled its latest fully custom superyacht, the 43-meter Ximena, making a strong impression at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Positioned along Flagler Drive, the yacht quickly became one of the standout appearances of the event, attracting attention for her sharp exterior profile and the debut of a carefully crafted interior concept.

Designed by Omega Architects with naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Ximena reflects a clear focus on performance and presence. Her arrow-like silhouette and pronounced bow give her a dynamic character even at rest, reinforcing her identity as a yacht built for movement and purpose.

At her core, the Fast Displacement Hull Form delivers both efficiency and speed, reaching a top speed of 22.6 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. With a shallow draft of 2.1 meters, she is also highly versatile, capable of accessing a wide range of cruising grounds, from the Bahamas to more secluded shallow anchorages.

Outdoor living has been designed as a central experience on board. The sundeck, exceeding 50 square meters, combines shaded lounge areas beneath a sleek hardtop with open sunbathing spaces surrounding a Jacuzzi. A fully equipped bar, generous seating, and a pop-up cinema screen transform the area from daytime relaxation space into an evening entertainment deck. Forward, the foredeck lounge creates a more intimate social setting, arranged around sculptural low tables designed for group gatherings.

The main deck aft continues the flexible lifestyle approach, offering both covered and open areas with integrated lighting, concealed sound systems, and a drop-down cinema screen. At sea level, the beach club introduces a direct connection to the water, complete with a wide teak platform and a hydraulic swim platform for easy access and toy deployment. Behind the glass transom, a fully equipped gym extends the onboard wellness concept.

Inside, the yacht reveals a more refined and tactile atmosphere. The interior, developed by Yodezeen in collaboration with Alia’s in-house team, combines contemporary loft inspiration with warm and natural materials.  Ivory onyx by Antolini, oak parquet flooring, smoked glass, brass details, and glossy lacquer surfaces create a balanced and sophisticated environment.

The main saloon stands out with its interplay of light and texture. A circular wavy glass ceiling feature acts as a sculptural focal point, while curved seating and an onyx bar define the social core of the space.

The owner’s suite spans over 50 square meters on the main deck, designed as a private retreat with clean sightlines and large windows. The bathroom suite features Fantastico Grey marble with copper and brass accents, connected through a shared shower space, while a full-beam dressing area adds residential scale rarely seen in this segment.

Guest accommodation includes two VIP cabins aft and two additional cabins forward, each with its own material identity while maintaining design continuity throughout the yacht.

According to Yodezeen co-founder Artur Sharf, the aim was to create a modern yet warm environment, combining softness in form with rich materiality. Alia Yachts’ in-house execution capabilities played a key role in translating the design vision into reality.
