Kando 120

Life aboard Kando 120 is built around distance and long light-filled days rather than marina hopping. AvA Yachts is building the 38-metre explorer for delivery in 2028, and her four decks are arranged so a full-beam owner's suite sits forward on the main deck rather than tucked away below. For a buyer picturing years of use rather than one season, that says as much about the intended lifestyle as any spec sheet.

Build and provenance

AvA Yachts designs and builds Kando 120 in-house, a 38-metre monohull explorer with an 8.1-metre beam and a 2.5-metre draught, at 390 gross tons. The yard's own interior team pairs high-gloss walnut and wenge with dark leather and lighter upholstery throughout, a calm finish built to last years of cruising rather than a single season.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six double cabins, with a crew of five to run the yacht day to day. The owner's suite sits full-beam, forward on the main deck, with full-height windows that fill the cabin with natural light, and the lounges on the main and upper decks share the same glazing for open, bright social spaces.

Performance and engineering

Two Cummins diesels rated at 1,600 hp apiece give Kando 120 a 10-knot cruise and a 14-knot top speed, engineering suited to distance rather than a fast crossing. Furuno navigation electronics and Sleipner bow and stern thrusters back that up, and Kohler generators keep the systems running for as long as the fuel and water aboard, 15,850 gallons and 2,642 gallons, allow.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a jacuzzi and a transformer swimming platform are the two fixed points for time at anchor, with the bow and stern thrusters aboard making close-quarters handling straightforward when she noses into a berth.

Where she lies and how to see her

Kando 120 lies in Antakya, Turkey, where her build continues for a 2028 delivery. Boatcrowd arranges viewings through that process, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow in the normal course before handover.
