Description

Built by Alloy Yachts, AKIKO was first launched in 2007 and went on to pick up five major honours at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards. The 112.14ft /34.18m Custom expedition yacht features sophisticated exterior design and engineering by Gregory Marshall. Previously named VvS1 (after a grade of diamonds), she is proudly introduced to the Australian charter market following an extensive refit in New Zealand in 2016-2017 by McMullen and Wing. The Owners wanted to find the perfect name that reflected her country of origin, New Zealand. Akiko means "at a distance from home", which is the traditional Maori translation. An expedition style motor yacht, AKIKO is versatile enough to enter small bays, anchor behind coral atolls or for game fishing over submarine reefs, whilst her luxurious design won 4 premium prizes at the World Superyacht Awards after her launch in 2008.

Characteristics

AKIKO’s true gift is time away from the rush of the world to enjoy a journey of discovery with friends and family. First launched in 2007 and went on to pick up five major honours at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards. 2022 will see her undergo an extensive refit period. The yacht is a true moving art gallery, with collections from Melanesia, Australian Aboriginal artworks, and a general Pacific feel. Her large beam of 7.8m offers expansive space unusual to a 35m superyacht, and great stability. AKIKO cruises some incredible destinations, appealing to the most adventurous charter guests. Extensive watersports equipment to cater for the most active guests on board. A great platform for exploration, with opportunities to partner on ocean research and create once-in-a-lifetime "luxpeditions." Her Captain brings extensive charter experience and leads a dynamic, fun crew.
