SORAYAYACHTS

With its headquarters in landlocked Liechtenstein, the Soraya brand of yachts is rapidly becoming a major force in the world of luxury yachting,

with two stunning designs, the Soraya 46 and the new Soraya 70 to its name, the former of which is well on its way to completion. The Soraya yachts are being built by Gentech Yachts Ltd., a subsidiary of Gentech Ltd., a highly successful international corporation with businesses in a number of fields, including business aviation, real estate development, engineering and fashion retail.

Carefully selected teams of skilled and experienced staff are working in close collaboration with expert supervisors and project managers from Europe and the USA.

SORAYA 70

Like the Soraya 46 that is currently under construction, the Soraya 70 superyacht is another collaboration between Soraya Yachts and the Uniellé design studio led by Jure Bukavec. A 70m full displacement mega yacht with a 13m beam, the Soraya 70 has similar, yet highly distinctive styling when compared with her little sister the Soraya 46. Aggressive, dynamic and modern, her elegant lines are contrasted by a vertical glass section amidships. With three decks, two spacious public salons each with over 3m in headroom, her full height windows allow an abundance of natural light to enter inside. At the stern there is a large 6m infinity pool overlooking the sea. A folding stern door lowers to provide the yacht with a huge swimming platform or beach deck. Like the Soraya 46, the Soraya 70 also has a helipad positioned on the bow, which at over 10m wide, allows for the safe and comfortable landing of many types of helicopter. With wonderfully spacious interior accommodation, one major feature of the yacht is the private owner’s deck complete with its own outdoor terrace. Without doubt a graceful and stylish motor yacht, the Soraya 70 will offer her owner an ideal combination of state-of-the-art design, high quality construction and elegant style.

The Soraya 46’s spacious layout is comfortable and well-designed for both private family holidays and charter commitments.

SORAYA 46

The first Soraya yacht to be designed by the Uniellé design studio led by Jure Bukavec, the Soraya 46’s exterior is without doubt a real eye-catcher. Ultra-modern yet elegant, she exudes an eclectic mixture of timeless elegance and an impressive high-tech naval appearance. The Soraya 46’s spacious layout is comfortable and well-designed for both private family holidays and charter commitments and is well laid out for special corporate or entertaining events, with crew operational paths and accommodation located completely separately from the guest facilities. With her multi-functional and generous layout, the Soraya 46 offers both privacy and expansive social areas for owner and guests alike. Throughout her spacious and elegantly furbished decks, guests will be able to enjoy a wide variety of activities as well as enjoying a peaceful and relaxing time onboard. The main deck features the yacht’s main salon and dining areas, which are furnished according to the owner’s exact requirements. Built with full height windows for panoramic views, the main salon will be bathed in a profusion of natural light and furnished luxuriously. The upper deck of the yacht offers additional areas for socialising and entertaining, capable of hosting twelve guests for al-fresco dining with sweeping panoramic views. A large, wonderfully furnished upper deck salon is perfectly suited for both corporate events and private parties. There is a second cocktail bar located here, with separate seating areas and a superb audio/video system, suitable for everything from sales presentations to simply providing background music. Above the upper deck, the sun deck is the sun-lover’s paradise. A 2.3m Jacuzzi is surrounded with large sun loungers and will certainly be a popular area of the yacht all day, and well into the night. Guests will also find a well equipped wet-bar on this deck - a must in such a popular socialising location. Above the sun deck, the large radar arch supports a vast sun awning, which in turn provides the shade for the sun deck dining and socialising area. A truly modern yacht, the launch of the first Soraya 46 is certain to be eagerly awaited by yacht owners worldwide.
