Additionally, AIATA maintains a dedicated sales office within the Viaport Marina Tuzla, offering a direct connection to its clients and partners, further reinforcing its position in the heart of Turkey's dynamic maritime community.
Behind AIATA's forthcoming fleet is Navia Design, the multi-award-winning agency co-founded by Jarkko Jamsen. With worldwide recognition for their projects ranging from marine robots, production boats, and cruise ships to luxury yachts, the Scandinavian designers joined forces with the Turkish yard to realize a world class fleet.
The first AIATA project is the Wayfinder 38, to be revealed at the brand's inaugural public appearance at boot Dusseldorf 2025.
