Crafted with excellent attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, SIMENA is the pinnacle of yacht craftsmanship. Ares Shipyard has spared no expense in creating a vessel that not only surpasses industry standards but also sets a new benchmark for performance, comfort and style.
At the core of SIMENA’s design philosophy lies a dedication to performance luxury cruising.

With a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 14.5 knots, SIMENA offers transatlantic range, ensuring her capability to explore the world’s most desirable destinations in absolute comfort and style.
Designed by the renowned naval architect Tanju Kalaycıoğlu of Taka Yacht Design, SIMENA’s boasts a striking profile that commands attention wherever she sails. Her composite (carbon and GRP) superstructure, believed to be the largest ever built for a yacht of her type, ensures both strength and agility, while her sleek hull glides effortlessly through the water, providing a smooth and stable ride in all conditions.
Stepping inside, you’ll encounter an interior that mirrors the classic inspiration evident in her exterior design. Crafted by Design Unlimited, every aspect has been curated to evoke a sense of tranquility, with a neutral palette featuring tactile woven metals, leathers, stones, and soft furnishings. Mark Tucker, the creative director, focused on the gentle contours of the furniture, ample handrails, and clean, uncluttered lines of the staterooms and en-suite bathrooms. Modern touches, like the TV lifts in the salon and master suite, seamlessly blend contemporary comforts with the timeless charm of yachting’s “golden era.” Walnut serves as the foundation for the interior, accented by elements such as antiqued brass and textured leather. The galley, designed in a double U-shape, boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic and is equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances. The layout includes ample freezer space forward to enhance functionality.
