The 23m coastal cruiser motor yacht LA PALOMA was launched at the Turkish shipyard Alia Yachts in Antalya following only a year-long construction. She will head off onto her sea trials in a week’s time before her scheduled delivery to the owner.

LA PALOMA was constructed in epoxy composites with carbon fibre reinforcement, featuring beautiful, striking dark metallic grey hull and superstructure. Her modern interior design was created by Alia Yachts with exteriors by Selahattin Uldas of Uldas Design in Istanbul. Naval architecture is by Bill Dixon of Britain with structural engineering by ASTA Engineering.
