CRUISE CONTROL
Istanbul-based Sirena Yachts followed the fleet to Fort Lauderdale for its North American operations. The luxury yacht builder hopes to build on the momentum of its successful reception during last winter’s Miami International Boat Show, where it debuted 56- and 64-foot Sirena models (though vessels max out over 100 feet). CEO Ipek Kiraç called the seafaring city a natural fit for the brand and predicts a strong U.S. clientele with all types of cruising agendas. The Sirena 56 and Sirena 64, collaborations with Frers Naval Architecture & Engineering and Spadolini Design Studio, will be available through the showroom and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November. The latter model offers its most spacious version yet, including the ample flybridge, more efficient consumption than direct competitors and an optional Jacuzzi.
