Launched in 2007 by renowned Dutch shipyard Oceanco, Alfa
Nero is an outstanding 82 metres superyacht.
With exteriors designed
by Nuvolari & Lenard and interiors designed by the talented Alberto
Pinto, the superyacht Alfa Nero has won numerous design awards for
its innovative approach to superyacht living and set new
standards in the luxury charter yachts‘ market.
Luxurious atmosphere
With a cruising speed of 15 knots, a maximum speed of 20 knots and a range
of 6 000 nm from its 100 litre fuel tanks, Alfa Nero is the
perfect combination of performance and luxury.
Driven by a mission to make the most of its owner’s home cruising
grounds, the Mediterranean Sea, Alfa Nero is a yacht
designed by people who live the Mediterranean lifestyle. Alfa Nero
can accommodate 12 guests in six lavish cabins including an indulgent master
stateroom, two double VIP suites, one double guest cabin and two twin guest
cabins.
With 1,250-square metres of living space across its 82 metres hull, Alfa
Nero provides plenty of space for a bridge deck gym, three separate
dining areas, a dance room, pantries on the three guest decks, a separate crew
lounge, and a lift servicing and connecting all decks.
To style the yacht‘s interior, the owner selected the renowned
Italian designer Alberto Pinto to create a luxurious atmosphere, while
maintaining a nautical theme. Each guest has a unique visual experience in
his or her stateroom. To that end, each cabin has a distinctive air achieved
through the use of colored leathers and other soft goods.
Pinto delivered a contemporary tone replete with focused nuances that are
inviting and relaxing without being overpowering while an undersea theme is
used on various pieces throughout the yacht, particularly evident
in details such as side tables resembling staghorn coral and seashell images
lining the guest hallway.
Outdoor lifestyle
Designed especially to cruise the Mediterranean, Alfa Nero boasts a
lot of open deck space. Externally, the yacht’s most obvious visual
departure from conventional yacht design is the open aft deck and
minimal overhangs.
One of the many uncommon features of this superyacht is
the Nuvolari-designed aft deck ‘beach club’ which features an immense
glass-ended pool whose floor can be partially or fully raised, transforming it
into a dance floor or helipad on demand.
Indeed, Alfa Nero has the capability to land, but not service,
a nine passenger helicopter on the main deck. Using the bottom of the
6-meter-by-3.75-meter current pool for helicopter service is a tribute to Oceanco’s
engineering ability. When the bottom rises up to become flush with the deck, a
rim seal prevents the 8,321 gallons of water from any immediate contamination
by the debris associated with aircraft operations.
Outdoor living is undoubtedly a significant feature of Alfa Nero‘s design
as it offers an impressive amount of space for leisure and entertainment.
The Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco and Italian designer Dan Lenard won
immense admiration for the Alfa Nero which garnered
awards in Europe, the US and even Asia for its styling. Some of
its awards include: the “Best Full Displacement Motoryachts over 75m”
award with ShowBoats International, the “Most Innovative Exterior Yacht Design
of the Year” award with Asia Pacific Boating, the Yachts International Magazine
Award for “Most Innovative Yacht, 2007”, two awards with Boat International for
“Best Exterior Design” and “Best Interior Styling”.
