Turkish shipyard Sirena Yachts has announced that construction is steadily progressing on its first 36-metre Sirena 118 superyacht model. Major technical and interior milestones have now been completed and the superyacht is on track for her scheduled 2026 delivery.
According to the shipyard, works are now progressing on all plumbing, piping and technical installations alongside the production of teak decking and paint preparation. The new build will then undergo engine installation, paint completion and interior joinery ahead of her launch, sea trials and handover this year.
The model – penned by Sirena’s in-house design team – was first unveiled at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show as the largest in the shipyard’s composite line, built entirely in GRP with a sub-300GT volume and a flexible tri-deck layout.
Dutch designer Cor D. Rover is the brain behind the model's customisable interior design, which is said by the yard to be "contemporary-styled" and "highly elegant". Rover has used an "understated yet elegant" colour scheme, wood veneer applications and integrated soft lighting to create a sophisticated yet inviting ambience.
Cream upholstery, light wood tones and bronze accents characterise the decor - also chosen to help accentuate the spaces’ natural light, which, according to the yard, evolves from day to night with the glow from the rising to the setting sun.
Accommodation is for up to 12 guests and seven crew on board, with the guest accommodation comprising a VIP suite and four guest cabins on the lower deck. The shipyard has dedicated significant attention to the owner's area, which is located forward on the main deck and can extend across two decks in a "loft" option. A spiral staircase connects to a private relaxation space on the lower deck, which features a fold-down balcony.
There are plenty of social areas across the model's design, including an informal dining and lounging area on the main deck aft, outfitted with curvaceous contemporary furniture and curated fittings, while further dining and a wet bar can be found on the upper deck. Meanwhile, a Jacuzzi sits in the yacht's bow, flanked by sunpads and loungers.
With naval architecture by respected Argentinian naval architect Germán Frers, a fast displacement hull will give her a top speed of 16 knots, propelled by twin MAN V12 3,100hp engines. With a more powerful 3,800hp package, she will deliver a top speed of 21 knots.
“As the first Sirena 118 continues to take shape, we are proud to see the design vision materialising across every area of the build,” shared Sirena Yachts CEO, Çağin Genc. “The craftsmanship of our team, together with our long-standing partners such as Cor D. Rover and Germán Frers, is bringing this new flagship to life in a way that truly reflects the spirit of Sirena.”
The Turkish yard is also working towards the completion of its flagship yacht – created in collaboration with Luca Vallebona and Hot Lab – which is currently under construction in Yalova, Turkey, with delivery also scheduled for 2026.
