SIMENA: the new flagship of ARES Yachts
Turkish shipyard ARES Yachts has built a 62 m ketch with a steel hull and electric propulsion.
The 62-metre sailing superyacht SIMENA is now en route to Palma de Mallorca, where she will make her world debut at the Palma International Boat Show 2026 (29 April to 2 May), marking her first public appearance. She is set to be the largest yacht on display at the show.

For ARES Yachts, SIMENA is their first step into the 60-metre-plus segment and the most ambitious project to date from the Antalya-based shipyard. Built in a steel-carbon composite construction to RINA Charter Class C requirements, she combines true bluewater capability with refined luxury.
Taka Yacht Design drew the lines with one eye on classic ketch silhouettes and another firmly on performance. The result is a design that balances classic proportions with sailing capability. Interiors by Design Unlimited seamlessly merge tradition and innovation.

The yacht is powered by a hybrid propulsion system, optimised for efficiency and performance across a wide range of cruising conditions. In electric mode, SIMENA allows silent cruising at speeds of up to 8 knots, with a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 7 knots on e-motor.
