This week I visited Antalya, where the ARES shipyard held the launching ceremony for their magnificent 62 meter cruising ketch "SIMENA". I was there to film the third in a series of 5 videos that will follow the project from construction to completion. You can follow it at the @yachtbuilders YoUtube channel.

What if you could tow your boat… with a kite? Yes, it’s possible ! No longer just a dream or a wild idea, and it’s surprisingly simple. The LibertyKite® attaches to your boat with just two lines: no prior experience required. It works with any boat from 4 m upwards, whether motorized or sailing. How does it work? 1️⃣ Simply clip the two lines onto two attachment points (mooring cleats or any other fixing point) 2️⃣ Point the air intake into the wind to let the wing self-inflate. 3️⃣ Release… and just let the kite tow you! 👉 Still skeptical? Discover how to use the LibertyKite® effortlessly in just 10 minutes : https://zurl.co/jcS22 Got questions?

The Sirena 60 marks a thoughtful evolution for Sirena Yachts, building on the success of the Sirena 58 while delivering more usable space, refined exterior living, and a modernized interior aesthetic. Making her world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, the Sirena 60 is not a radical departure — it’s a smarter, more deliberate refinement of a proven platform. Exterior spaces at both the bow and stern have been reconfigured to maximize outdoor living, with expanded sun pads, improved seating arrangements, and better flow for entertaining. The flybridge has received a significant redesign, offering enhanced sightlines, a more functional helm layout, and a clearer separation between command and social zones. An extended bathing platform improves water access and makes handling tenders and water toys more practical. Inside, Sirena’s in-house design team focused on increasing usable interior volume. The result is a noticeably more open feel throughout the main deck and accommodations, paired with an updated contemporary décor. Signature elements from Frers Naval Architecture remain intact — including the plumb bow and dark-glass exterior surfaces — preserving the yacht’s recognizable profile while improving efficiency and seakeeping. True to the brand’s DNA, the Sirena 60 is built on a semi-displacement platform designed for long-range cruising at displacement speeds, with the flexibility to increase pace when conditions or itinerary demand it. Improved storage, stronger interior-exterior connectivity, and refined design execution position the Sirena 60 as a compelling contender in the 60-foot class. Key Specifications: • Length Overall: 63'8" (19.45 m) • Beam: 17'7" (5.36 m) • Draft: 4'1" (1.24 m) Watch the full review on BoatTEST.com.
