Alina Power Catamaran

Diving from Alina is arranged by rendezvous with a dive operator, since she carries no compressor of her own, and the rest of her water sports travel with her: a Williams SportJet 520 tender and twelve toys that run from Seabobs and e-foils to a wing foil and a TIWAL sailboat. Fountaine Pajot built her and designed her interior, with Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design drawing her lines, and at 79ft (24m) she is a power catamaran built in 2026.

Where she cruises

Her home port is El Gouna on Egypt's Red Sea coast, and she keeps a second base at Vouliagmenis Marina in Athens. A week aboard can therefore begin in Egypt or in Greece, and she flies the Greek flag.

Accommodation and crew

An owner's cabin with a king bed and four guest cabins with queen beds sleep ten, each with its own bathroom, and by day she can carry twelve. Five crew look after them – a captain, a chef, a chief stewardess, a second stewardess and a deckhand – which puts one crew member to every two guests. Her chef has won the Greek Master Chef competition, and the galley-down layout keeps his kitchen off the main deck.

Comfort under way

Twin Volvo engines with joystick control give her a 15-knot cruise and 16 knots at full throttle, and her calendar fills first from December to March and again in July and August. She carries no stabilisers and rides on two hulls. Lithium batteries and solar panels keep the air conditioning going through the night, so the generator stays off overnight, and a water maker with a filtration system supplies her still and sparkling water.

On deck

The foredeck holds the jacuzzi, sunbeds and a wet bar, and the flybridge carries a dining table, a bar and loungers for eating in the open air. The aft cockpit has several seating groups and a fold-down balcony on each side, the beach club opens fully to the sea, which puts the water a step away, and the main saloon inside keeps a dining area of its own for a meal under cover.

Water toys

Her tender takes guests ashore. Three Seabobs for three riders, two SiFly e-foils, a JetSurf and a Scuba jet share the water with a wing foil, paddleboards, two single-seat kayaks and the TIWAL sailboat, so a good part of the group can be out at once; water skis, a wakeboard and a Jobe Airstream towable for three riders cover the towing sports, and fishing gear is aboard. Life jackets come in adult and child sizes, and an inflatable swimming platform and floating mats float alongside Alina.

Charter notes

Alina suits two couples or a family who plan their days round the water, and bookings run by the week or for three days, with either base as the start of a hire. For divers, the rendezvous arrangement means the dive operator comes out to meet her, and ten sets of snorkelling gear mean everyone aboard can go over the side.
