Sirena Yachts models

Before it had a name of its own, the Sirena yard spent years building Magellano yachts for Azimut. Its own range arrived in 2017, every hull is by Germán Frers, and in 2025 the Sirena 60 replaced the 58, long its biggest seller in the US.

Known for
  • Germán Frers naval architecture
  • Efficient semi-displacement hulls with long range
  • Years of building Magellano yachts for Azimut
  • Interiors by Tommaso Spadolini and Cor D. Rover

From building Magellanos to a brand of its own

Sirena did not start from a blank sheet. The Turkish group behind it learned its trade as contract builder of Azimut's Magellano line, a joint venture with Azimut-Benetti that Yachting traces to 2008. Building those boats taught the yard how to produce efficient long-distance cruisers to Italian standards, years before a Sirena badge went on a transom.

The brand made its debut in 2017 with the Sirena 64, first at boot Dusseldorf in January and then in the US at Yachts Miami Beach a month later. The company reported four sales within two months, and CEO Ipek Kirac gave the credit to designers Germán Frers and Tommaso Spadolini. Frers, the Argentine naval architect famous for winning racing sailboats, has been responsible for every Sirena hull ever since. Sirena gives its headquarters as Istanbul, with an American base on SE 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. We were unable to confirm a founding year or a named founder for the company itself.

How the 58 built the US business, and what came next

Our covered model, the Sirena 58, arrived in 2018 and did more than any other boat to establish the yard in America. It distilled the house style into a mid-sized package: a plumb-bowed Frers semi-displacement hull, ocean certification and the long legs owners expect of the brand. A Coupe variant followed in 2020. Full specifications, engine choices and range figures are on the model page. In 2025 Sirena retired the 58 in favor of the Sirena 60, shown at Cannes, which keeps the three-cabin plan while reworking the stern and enlarging the swim platform.

Sirena has since moved up. A Sirena 68 appears on the US brokerage market, and in July 2026 the yard launched the Sirena 118, a tri-deck flagship under 300 gross tons with Frers naval architecture, interiors by Dutch studio Cor D. Rover and twin 3,100 hp MAN V12s, ahead of its Cannes debut.

Resale and what to check on a used Sirena

Because the brand is under a decade old, there are not many used Sirenas, but the ones that surface are generally in good order. Nearly all secondhand 58s date from 2019 to 2024, and with the 60 now in showrooms their values face some mild downward pressure; boats from the middle of that run tend to offer the best balance of price and equipment. Our 58 page tracks asking prices. Service is handled through the Fort Lauderdale office plus Volvo Penta or Caterpillar dealers.

Pay close attention to equipment that was specified for European use.

  • Which version it is, Flybridge or Coupe, and which of the three cabin layouts
  • Engine and V-drive service records with oil analysis
  • Signs of contact damage on the stem and topsides
  • Seakeeper, thrusters and joystick docking
  • Hardtop sunroof and hull window seals
  • Whether shore power and electrics were converted to US standards
