Alfa Nero is up for sale.
I think one of the best looking superyachts out there!

Lucky new owner, whoever they will be!

I downloaded and read through the pdf - noticed in the exclusions that the name is reserved !!

presumably then that means I wont be able to call her Alfa Nero when I buy it?

We'd all be much richer if we weren't taxed into oblivion at every turn.

easily got around old chap... the yacht will be registered under whichever flag (probably cayman or some form of british ship variation) as 'alfa nero'... you just change the name to 'alfa nero of grimsby' and you're off to the races... it's a common trick in the more regular world of yachts to get around retained names without really changing it at all.

The guy who owns the yard is a good family friend, they have some very very cool toys there.

I was lucky enough to have lived near the Oceanco shipyard and follow the contruction of Alfa Nero. It was at it's most stunning towards the end of the build while sitting on the river, but still unpainted, yet still managing to gleam under the yards floodlights. So beautiful!

Somebody must be able to, a good friend was Chief Engineer (I think) on the Maltese Falcon when she sold for around that figure a couple of years ago.

Do all superyachts cruise at about 14 knots? For some reason I thought they'd be quicker, 20+

I guess when you are posing around the Med it doesn't matter

Not sure about the 'H' remaining visible under the water though. Might not end well for someone! hehe

More than 12 guests and you suddenly become a "Passenger Vessel" and have to comply with a lot more regs.

When you look at the interior spaces, how the accommodation is laid out and how it is typically used, you're not going to get that many more people on without it starting to feel cosy. You could get more cabins in, but then you'd have to make the lounge & dining areas correspondingly smaller, whilst having to fit more people in them.
exactly

you also have to note that in fact she sleeps 35 (23 'crew' )

and consider that the way modern cruise ships achieve their passenger numbers and grand spaces is by being floating tower blocks and nearly as blocky as the floating multistoreys used to ship vehicles around...

Personally I don't find the purchase price to be the most amazing number, IMO it's the ongoing cost that's truly frightening. Budget around 10% of purchase price to keep her in the water for a year.

That's over a million a month as an overhead.
