ALFA NERO

About

ALFA NERO is a name that resonates with luxury, innovation, and superlative design in yachting. Since her launch in 2007, she has captivated the industry, earning her place as one of the most iconic and awarded superyachts ever.

Built by the renowned Dutch shipyard Oceanco with an exterior designed by the celebrated team at Nuvolari Lenard and an exquisite interior by the talented Alberto Pinto, ALFA NERO is not just a yacht; she is a floating work of art.

From the moment you step onboard, you will feel like you are a part of something extraordinary. Her sleek, instantly recognizable exterior, highlighted by a dramatic black steel hull and light superstructure, reflects the artistry of Nuvolari Lenard’s design philosophy. This striking profile, with its low stern and minimal overhangs was a departure from conventional superyacht design, breaking the mold and setting a new standard for luxury yachts forever more.

One of ALFA NERO’s most defining features is her expansive aft deck, which houses the first ever statement rear swimming pool. This revolutionary infinity jet pool with glass waterfall siding can be raised to transform the aft deck into a huge entertainment space at the push of a button. This revolutionary stroke of engineering genius is a testament to the technical prowess behind ALFA NERO, presenting both versatility and luxury in one spectacular package.

Step inside and ALFA NERO’s interiors immediately impress with their blend of classic elegance and modern flair. Alberto Pinto’s vision draws inspiration from pop art and Art Deco, seamlessly incorporating visually arresting details which are brought to life throughout with the use of the finest materials from around the globe. The yacht’s impressive 1,250 square meters of living space is adorned with exquisite hardwoods, luxurious leathers, elegant fabrics, and precious metals, all contributing to this classic yet contemporary design.

Pinto’s timeless base of monochrome is accented by pops of coordinated color, modern, art, and intricate textures. Major Lichtenstein lithographs hang from the wenge wood panels in the main salon with the grand Pleyel piano finished in black lacquer and etched with an intricate white wave pattern. Scalloped wall panels lacquered in white create a mother-of-pearl effect adding a texture reminiscent of abstracted golf balls to the upper salon while vibrant works by Takashi Murakami inject color into this space. From zig-zag woodwork to bold striped flooring, stylised graphic leaf designs on cushions, Pop Art swirls, dots and bubbles unite the aesthetic throughout the yacht to one that is undeniably luxurious and completely and utterly unique.

Twelve guests can be accommodated onboard ALFA NERO in six beautifully appointed cabins across three decks. These can be accessed via a glass-enclosed guest elevator that glides from the lower to upper decks, passing tall, glowing, crystal sculptures and a leather mosaic lining the circular wrap-round stairwell.

The vast master suite occupies the entire forward section of the upper deck and is a private sanctuary with complete seclusion from the rest of the guest accommodation. It features an opulent bedroom with a super king-sized bed, a generous walk-in wardrobe with dressing table, and an expansive ensuite bathroom with stunning marble and cherrywood finishes. There is also a vast private office complete with its own shower room for added convenience. The suite extends forward onto a private exterior deck with a Jacuzzi pool, sunpads, and a dining area, all of which are completely isolated ensuring the utmost privacy for ALFA NERO’s primary guests.

The remaining guest accommodation can be found across the main and lower decks. This includes two VIP double suites, a further double cabin, and two twin cabins that can convert into a double bed sleeping arrangement for added versatility. The lower deck VIP suite has direct access to the onboard spa area and its sea terrace, while the main deck VIP suite features his-and-her bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe.

Each cabin offers guests a unique experience with individually-styled décor, meticulously designed with carefully coordinated colors and materials, from the bedheads to the cushions and lamps.

ALFA NERO’s amenities are as impressive as her design, offering a range of facilities that cater to every whim. The yacht’s top deck is home to a well-appointed gym with 180-degree views, allowing guests to work out while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The gym is equipped with an array of fitness equipment, and the fully qualified crew is on hand to assist with health and fitness assessments. After a workout, guests can unwind in the adjacent steam room or step out onto the deck and enjoy the Jacuzzi pool. There is an option too to head downstairs and sweat it out in the main deck sauna, or simply relax in the lower deck spa area with one of the many treatments available from the onboard therapist.

The entertainment options onboard ALFA NERO are endless. For a cinematic experience guests can head to the upper salon where they will find a large projector screen and impressive surround sound system. The main salon too features a large plasma screen, but perhaps here enjoying the melodies of the grand piano whilst lounging in the over-sized sofas would better suit. This salon flows perfectly into the pool deck and with the retractable glass doors guests can enjoy this space however best fits the occasion.

For alfresco dining and socializing, the pool deck is ALFA NERO’s coup de maître and offers one of the largest open aft decks available on any yacht. The large central pool is flanked by sunloungers and the bar and plentiful seating areas are reminiscent of a South Beach hotel pool. This area is perfect for enjoying stunning views, whether it’s the lapping waves, a fiery sunset, or a star-studded night sky. Mist sprays keep guests cool during the day, while at night, the sub-lit pool and advanced sound system create an electric atmosphere, making the aft deck the ultimate venue for parties and celebrations.

Twenty-five crewmembers look after each of the yacht’s twelve guests. A professionally trained international team eager to exceed guests’ expectations. From attentive service to creative tablescapes, to afternoons packed with watersports, ALFA NERO’s crew are dedicated to delivering the best experience at every possible moment. Cuisine onboard ALFA NERO revolves around exceptional gastronomy. Her esteemed chefs are masters of cuisine – be it a beachside barbeque, an authentic French sit-down dinner, or a full spread of locally-caught fish and fresh produce family-style, ALFA NERO offers it all.

ALFA NERO’s impact on the yachting world is reflected in her numerous awards and accolades. On launch it swept the board at prestigious events across Europe, USA, and Asia. This included the World Superyacht Awards, where it won Best Interior Design and Best Exterior Styling in the Motor Yacht category, the Most Innovative Exterior Yacht Design of the Year at the Asia Boating Awards, and the Best Motor Yacht (over 75m) at the ShowBoats Awards, to name but a few.

ALFA NERO was built to inspire and has lived up to this role from the very moment it was launched. An icon in yachting, it is one of the truly magnificent super yachts created and available for charter today. Its outstanding design and construction methods evolved the way many superyacht designers and builders approached luxury yacht creation.

Chartering ALFA NERO isn’t just about luxury; it’s about becoming part of yachting history – it is a trailblazer, a revolutionary, and an influencer.
