After working with Nuvolari & Lenard on the Alfa Nero project and the Palmer Johnson range, the Slovenian design firm UNIELLé has released details of the first project it developed in-house from A to Z. Soraya Yachts 152 Superyacht is a steel-hulled motor yacht which currently is under construction at the Gentech shipyard in Turkey and is being built in accordance with MCA rules.
Soraya Yachts 152
Among the Soraya Yachts 152′ motor yacht’s most noteworthy features is a “touch-and-go” helipad on the yacht’s forward deck, remarkable given the yacht’s relatively “modest” LOA. The yacht’s bulbous bow helps add stability for helicopter landings. Two tender garages are located forward and aft, which allows using the flybridge exclusively for entertainment and relaxation. The extra large swimming platform, which opens aft to reveal a real beach house, is particularly attractive.
From a technical standpoint, the yard is not looking to revolutionize this segment but rather to produce a well-built and comfortable yacht with outstanding finishes and insulation. Alès Bratina created the yacht’s contemporary interior. The !52 yacht’s IP network was developed in collaboration with Cisco Systems to manage all onboard functions.
