ARES YACHTS ELEVATES SUPERYACHT INNOVATION WITH TWO VISIONARY PROJECTS
In a world where true innovation in yachting is increasingly rare, ARES Yachts continues to quietly shape the future of luxury at sea.
Based in Antalya and backed by decades of naval, commercial and advanced composite expertise, the Turkish shipyard is steadily building a reputation as one of the industry’ s most technically capable and financially stable newgeneration yacht builders, a yard trusted not only for design vision, but for structural depth and longterm reliability.
With its superyacht division now fully in motion, ARES Yachts is spotlighting two standout projects that define the yard’ s DNA: SPITFIRE, now in build, and ATLAS, a next-generation explorer concept. Together, they form a clear statement. This is an engineering pedigree expressed through modern luxury.
PERFORMANCE, REIMAGINED AS LIFESTYLE
The 50.55-metre SPITFIRE is not a nostalgic tribute. It’ s a translation of aviation engineering into modern superyacht living. Designed inside and out by Bannenberg & Rowell, the yacht draws its spirit from the legendary British aircraft, but the execution is firmly 21st century.
Built in advanced composites, SPITFIRE combines a sleek, lowprofile silhouette with a highperformance fast displacement platform derived from ARES’ proven offshore patrol vessel expertise. The result is a yacht capable of 20 knots, long-range cruising, and hybrid diesel-electric operation, including extended silent modes for emissionfree nights at anchor.
