Aiata Debuts in Cannes

Aiata, a new force in Turkish boatbuilding under the Anadolu Group, will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 with the world premiere of its Wayfinder 38. Both the Cabin and Suntop versions will be presented from 9–14 September at Europe’s leading in-water boat show.

Contemporary Design and Modularity

The 38-foot walkaround has been created by award-winning designer Jarkko Jämsén of Navia Design. Its flared bow increases interior space while enhancing seaworthiness, delivering a sleek profile with practical benefits. What distinguishes the Wayfinder 38 is its fully modular architecture. Seating, sunbeds, tables, and deck structures can be reconfigured to meet changing needs, whether for day cruising, fishing, entertaining, or overnight stays. 

Built for Flexibility

Aiata has embedded flexibility as a core principle. The boat is designed to evolve alongside its owner, adapting over time without compromising design integrity or performance. This approach also offers value for dealers, aligning the vessel with varied market demands and seasonal preferences. 

Anadolu Group Expertise

Backed by the financial strength and technical expertise of the Anadolu Group, Aiata operates a 10,000m² facility near Istanbul. Advanced robotic technologies and a skilled workforce ensure precision, quality, and performance across production.

Performance and Comfort

At 11.57 metres in length with a 3.49-metre beam, the Wayfinder 38 can be powered by outboard engines delivering up to 850 HP. This ensures both high speed and smooth handling. Below deck, minimalist interiors maximise living space and incorporate intelligent storage, creating a practical yet stylish onboard environment.

A Key Milestone

This is a tremendous success for our team and a key moment to introduce the Wayfinder 38 to discerning boaters….Our modular concept has been met with enthusiasm, confirming that there’s strong appetite for a boat able to evolve over time together with its owner needs without compromise on design or performance.
