Aiata, a shipyard that debuted just last year at the Boot Düsseldorf, returns to the German fair with two models from the new Sunfinder range. The Turkish shipyard is part of the Anadolu Group, an industrial giant that guarantees experience, means of production as well as financial solidity. The new additions continue in the groove laid out just 12 months ago, confirming the design philosophy and aesthetic language, once again designed by Jarkko Jämsén of Navia Design.
At 15 meters, she will be the shipyard’s new flagship. The Scandinavian lines, culminating in the square bow, are also reproposed in this size, thus becoming true stylistic features. It further develops the philosophy based on versatility introduced with the Wayfinder 38: a fast family boat with a spacious and livable deck from the stern to the large bow. And for those who want to spend a few days aboard, there is no shortage of a cabin with bathroom to call her a weekender in her own right.
Also interesting is the introduction of a fold-down sundeck above the outboard engines to take advantage of every inch, in a solution that is becoming increasingly popular in the market. With the inevitable fold-down decks and a swim platform surrounding the engines, this station becomes an island facing the sea.
Built on the same double-redan hull as the Wayfinder presented in 2025, she features a more open deck layout, abandoning the more “Scandinavian” cabin in favor of a more Mediterranean configuration. The cockpit also becomes more airy, with a traditional arrangement of two transverse, parallel sofas facing each other, serving a wide table. Below the t-top then remains only the wet-bar, abutting the helm seat. Forward, a dinette uses the full width and can become a sundeck by folding down the table. Again, there is no shortage of small below-deck storage accessible from a tambour to the left of the helm station.
