H2O

Owning H2O means keeping a crew of six aboard, in their own quarters, to run a 116-foot yacht built for long stretches away from a marina rather than day trips out and back. Alpha Custom Yachts delivered her in 2023, an aluminium-hulled motor yacht with the range and tankage to back up that scale.

Build and provenance

Alpha Custom Yachts delivered her in 2023 as a bespoke 116-foot aluminium-hulled motor yacht, built to spec with long passages as the priority rather than the weekly marina run. The hull form shows in her range and tankage: a boat drawn to cover distance without compromise.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep in five cabins, and a crew of six look after them from three cabins of their own, a ratio that keeps a full guest list properly attended without crowding anyone. The layout gives the living spaces room to breathe rather than packing cabins in to maximise the count.

Performance and engineering

Twin MAN engines, offered as either a 1,650 hp V12 or a 1,300 hp V8, give her a cruising speed of 14.7 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. Her range of 2,400 nautical miles at 10 knots and fuel capacity to mean a passage does not have to be planned around the next fuel stop, and 4,000 litres of water capacity keep a full crew and guest list self-sufficient for days at anchor.

On deck and at anchor

A plunge pool and a dedicated al fresco dining table sit on deck, alongside a sundeck for the hours when no one wants to be anywhere else. They are the spaces a yacht this size is actually run for, once the passage is over and the anchor is down.

Where she lies and how to see her

A viewing of H2O can be arranged whenever you are ready to see her in person, and we will be there for it. Once you make an offer, a surveyor goes aboard and a sea trial follows before the sale is final.
