The Soraya 46 Yacht

STUNNING AND FUNCTIONAL
Based on our personal experience in yachting, business aviation and engineering, as well as on in-depth analysis of the current yacht-charter market and customer demands, we are designing and producing a unique yacht for private owners and high-end charter yacht market.

Every feature of SORAYA 46 superyacht adds practicality while enhancing her eye appeal. The retractable hydraulic helipad at the bow, while in open position, serves as a practical and safe operational space for the crew and storage for mooring equipment. Right behind it is a double hatch where the crew/rescue tender is stored. A large storage area in the stern keeps this beautiful yacht clutter-free. The entire transom opens, providing easy access to tenders and water toys. The huge swim platform creates an ideal setting for all water activities.

At night, SORAYA 46’s spectacular exterior and underwater illumination, which is mostly done through energy efficient LED technology, presents a warm and inviting beacon for your guests.

With her multi-functional, generous layout, SORAYA 46 offers both privacy and expansive social areas for owner and guests alike. Throughout her spacious and elegantly furbished decks, the passengers will enjoy diversity of possible activities as well as the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in different areas. A careful choice of machinery and supporting systems, combined with a special battery-powered “Night mode” and sound-proofing of guests cabins, ensures exceptionally silent and relaxing environment. Zero speed stabilizers keep SORAYA 46’s sturdy steel hull stabile not only while sailing but also at anchor, allowing an enjoyable seagoing experience even for more sensitive guests.

A careful choice of machinery and supporting systems, combined with a special battery-powered “Night mode” and soundproofing of guest’s cabins, will ensure an exceptionally silent and relaxing environment.

Among the technology onboard the yacht, zero speed stabilizers will keep the Soraya 46’s sturdy steel hull stable not only while sailing but also at anchor, allowing an enjoyable seagoing experience, even for more sensitive guests.

With a great deal of research and thought having gone into her design, every feature of the Soraya 46 adds practicality while enhancing her visual appearance. A prime example of this is the retractable hydraulic helipad at the bow that, while providing excellent private access to the yacht for the owner and guests, also serves as a highly practical and safe operational space for the crew when storing and handling the yacht’s tenders and other equipment. Right behind the helicopter pad is a double hatch where the crew/ rescue tender is stored.

A large garage at the stern of the Soraya 46 yacht also helps to keep this beautiful yacht clutter-free. As the main stern door opens horizontally to allow easy access to tenders and water-sports toys, it also creates a huge swim platform, providing an ideal setting for fun and relaxing water activities for the yacht’s guests. At night, the Soraya 46’s spectacular exterior and underwater illumination is mostly provided through energy efficient LED technology and presents a warm and inviting beacon for the yacht’s guests.

Throughout her spacious and elegantly furnished decks, the guests will be able to enjoy a range of activities as well as a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in different areas.

Soraya 46m Superyacht Design Profile

A full custom yacht, the lower deck of the Soraya 46 superyacht may be constructed with five or six guest cabins depending on the owner’s preference, each carefully designed and luxuriously furnished for the maximum relaxation and comfort of the guests, with the latest entertainment equipment supplied in all rooms. Each cabin is connected to an IP system that enables all guests to control the air conditioning functions and lighting in their cabin as well using the vessel’s intercom, telephone and Internet connections.

The main deck features the yacht’s main salon and dining areas, which will be 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. Forward of the main salon, an extremely well equipped galley with a large cold room features stainless steel surfaces and is equipped with top-quality appliances. Due to its location, it also serves as a buffer, preventing noise and disturbance caused by other guests from interfering with the privacy and peace of the owner’s stateroom situated on the forward main deck.

This cleverly positioned and spacious 54m2 owner’s stateroom, with en-suite bathroom and dressing areas, is exquisitely furnished for onboard living with maximum privacy and comfort.

Her upper deck offers additional areas for socialising and entertaining, capable of hosting twelve guests for al-fresco dining with sweeping panoramic views.

A large, wonderfully furnished 70m2 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 Spa Pool pool 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 superyacht, the launch of the first Soraya 46 superyacht is certain to be eagerly awaited by yacht owners worldwide.
