AKIKO 34.2m, (2007/2023), Alloy Yachts
AKIKO is a beautiful 34-meter custom expedition yacht, launched in 2007. This impressive Alloy yacht won five major honours at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards. AKIKO has maintained its superior presentation by completing an extensive refit and we are proud to re-launch the ‘as new’ superyacht back into the charter market. The recent upgrades include a hull extension, a complete interior refit, and new paintwork. AKIKO boasts a significantly sleek exterior and is built to explore remote regions. AKIKO is versatile enough to enter small bays, anchor behind coral atolls and navigate inland waterways with an impressive range and expedition capabilities. Her large beam of 7.8m offers expansive space unusual to a 35m superyacht, and great stability. The yacht’s spacious living areas boast full-height windows that fill the impressive interior with natural light. The owner’s suite stretches full beam across the bridge deck, offering a generous space for relaxation and comfort, and four guest cabins complete the accommodation, with room for ten liveaboard guests. The professional crew of six, including talented onboard Chef, are renowned for their energy and enthusiasm for exploring remote regions, their vast knowledge and 5-star service catering to guests’ every wish. They operate by the ethos that AKIKO delivers the opportunity to revel in spending time with loved ones and appreciating the planet’s natural wonders. In Maori, Akiko means “at a distance from home,” which is a fitting name for a yacht that promises to take you on an unforgettable journey.
