About this yacht
ALVA represents a pinnacle of contemporary superyacht design and engineering, fresh from Amels' storied Dutch shipyard in 2026. As a new Amels 60 Limited Edition, this 60-metre motor yacht embodies over a century of Damen Yachting's heritage, combining timeless Dutch naval architecture with cutting-edge performance and refined comfort for charterers seeking an immaculate modern vessel built to exacting standards.
The yacht's distinctive exterior comes from the acclaimed design studio Espen Øino, whose signature aesthetic is immediately evident in ALVA's clean contemporary lines and striking trapezoid-shaped windows that flood the interior with light while creating strong geometric visual harmony. These thoughtful design decisions extend to exceptional outdoor living spaces: a generous sun deck complete with Jacuzzi and social areas, coupled with an expansive swim platform that seamlessly integrates indoor-outdoor living—an increasingly important consideration for guests valuing both relaxation and water-based pursuits.
Below deck, London-based Harrison Eidsgaard has orchestrated an elegant interior that conveys warmth and sophistication. The design palette combines Douglas fir white flooring, crisp white upholstery, and bold navy accents with rich walnut detailing and natural Calacatta stone, whilst textured metallised ceilings add depth and character throughout. The accommodation layout features a full-beam master cabin with dressing room and his-and-her en suites, a VIP cabin, and four additional double and convertible cabins, accommodating 12 guests with the attentive service of a professional crew of 13. Every technical system has been refined across the design and build process to the exacting standards Amels owners expect, backed by a global service network dedicated to long-term reliability and resale value.
Operationally, ALVA delivers impressive capability with a maximum speed of 15.5 knots and a commanding 4,500-nautical-mile range at 13 knots—ideal for extended Mediterranean and beyond explorations. The yacht is exceptionally well-equipped for active holidays, featuring an RYA water sports centre and premium wellness facilities including a beach club and sauna, catering to clients seeking both adventure and rejuvenation. This proven naval architecture foundation, refined across thousands of sea miles, ensures every design choice balances innovation with the durability expected for decades of service.
Available for ALVA charter at €510,000–550,000 per week from her Athens base, she offers an uncompromising opportunity to experience a state-of-the-art Amels yacht, providing the perfect platform for unforgettable vacations in the Mediterranean and beyond.

What is included in the charter rate for ALVA?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 13, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for ALVA before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ALVA?+
ALVA charters from €510,000 per week in low season and €550,000 in high season — a difference of about 8% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
