Voyage One

An in-build listing is a yacht that does not yet exist afloat: a buyer here is stepping in before delivery rather than after it. Voyage One is currently under construction at AVA Yachts, due in 2027 as an 86-foot aluminium displacement motor yacht for eight guests, and she is offered now from Antalya, Turkey.

Build and provenance

AVA Yachts is building her in aluminium, hull and superstructure both, on a displacement monohull rather than one shaped to plane. A displacement hull sits into the water rather than rising onto it, trading outright pace for a steadier ride and better range for the fuel she carries. At 26 metres (86 feet) and 110 gross tons, with a beam of 5.65 metres, she carries genuine volume for her length.

Layout and accommodation

Voyage One is designed for eight guests across four cabins, with a crew of three to run her: a modest complement that suits an owner who wants attentive service without a small hotel's worth of staff aboard. Four cabins for eight guests points to a boat sized for couples or a small family rather than a large party.

Performance and engineering

Her design speed is set at 10 knots, in cruise and at full throttle alike: the pace of a displacement hull built for range and a settled ride rather than outright speed. At that pace the emphasis sits on distance covered comfortably rather than on how quickly she gets there.

Where she lies and how to see her

Voyage One is under construction in Antalya, Turkey. Boatcrowd will arrange a viewing of the build and stand with you at it, and once an offer is accepted we co-ordinate survey and sea trial ahead of delivery.
