Fresh from delivery by Dutch shipyard Amels, superyacht charter ALVA pairs Espen Øino's instantly recognizable exterior styling with a highly bespoke Harrison Eidsgaard interior, creating a refined onboard experience that emphasizes comfort, craftsmanship and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
One of the latest additions to the global luxury yacht charter fleet, 196ft (60m) yacht rental ALVA offers charter guests an elevated take on one of the industry's most successful semi-custom platforms.
Recently unveiled through an official walkthrough, ALVA's interiors reveal a level of customization that, according to her captain, makes this the most extensively specified Amels 60 delivered to date.
As hull number eight in the acclaimed Amels 60 series, ALVA builds on a platform that has become one of the most recognizable modern superyachts on the charter market.
She accommodates up to 12 charter guests in six cabins with a professional crew of 13, combining long-range cruising capability with the versatility expected of a contemporary Mediterranean charter yacht.
Designed to encourage a natural flow between interior and exterior spaces, ALVA is an Amels 60 yacht charter who offers expansive entertaining areas across four decks, together with a beach club, sauna, gym, Jacuzzi, and an impressive collection of water toys.
With a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles, she is equally capable of extended cruising itineraries while remaining perfectly suited to island-hopping vacations throughout the Mediterranean.
The newly released interior tour places the spotlight firmly on Harrison Eidsgaard's bespoke design, which takes a notably understated approach to luxury.
Rather than relying on dramatic contrasts or ornate detailing, the interiors focus on natural light, carefully layered textures, and tactile materials to create an atmosphere that feels calm and welcoming throughout.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the main salon with daylight, while a soft palette of warm neutral tones is complemented by richly textured timber, natural stone and refined upholstery. The result is an interior that feels closer to an elegant waterfront residence than a traditional superyacht charter.
One of the most distinctive features is the use of Dinesen wide-plank timber flooring throughout the guest areas. Produced by the renowned Danish family-run flooring specialist, the continuous flooring creates visual cohesion across each deck while reinforcing the yacht's contemporary Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic.
ALVA is an outstanding candidate for a perfect yacht charter vacation
Connecting every guest deck is a sculptural central staircase, acting as both a practical circulation point and one of ALVA's defining architectural features. Its flowing design provides a striking visual centerpiece while reinforcing the openness of the interior layout.
The full-beam main salon transitions effortlessly into the formal dining area, where a 12-seat dining table sits beneath the abundance of natural light created by the expansive windows, allowing both spaces to function equally well for relaxed afternoons or elegant evening entertaining.
ALVA is an Amels charter yacht that brings together two of the industry's most respected design studios, each contributing a distinctive element to the yacht's overall character.
Exterior styling comes from Espen Øino, whose portfolio includes some of the world's most recognizable modern superyachts. His clean, contemporary profile for the Amels 60 is immediately recognizable through the elongated proportions and signature trapezoidal hull windows that have become a defining characteristic of the series.
Øino's work is widely recognized for balancing elegant aesthetics with highly functional deck layouts designed around the guest experience.
Inside, Harrison Eidsgaard applies the studio's residential design philosophy to create interiors that prioritize comfort as much as visual impact. Known for producing highly customized superyacht interiors, the London-based studio combines natural materials, restrained color palettes and exceptional craftsmanship to produce spaces that feel timeless rather than trend-driven.
On ALVA, that philosophy is evident throughout every guest space, where subtle detailing, generous glazing and carefully selected materials combine to create an environment designed for extended time onboard rather than simply making a bold first impression.
Accommodation for 12 guests is arranged across six beautifully appointed suites, led by an impressive full-beam owner's suite located on the main deck.
The master suite makes full use of motor yacht charter ALVA's 10.4m beam, featuring a king-size bed positioned against a textured feature wall, a generous walk-in dressing room and separate his-and-hers bathrooms finished in natural stone and timber.
Perhaps the standout feature is the fold-down private balcony, creating a secluded waterside terrace where guests can relax with uninterrupted sea views directly from their suite.
Four additional guest cabins occupy the lower deck, comprising two doubles and two flexible twin cabins that can be converted into doubles to suit different charter groups. Each guest cabin benefits from its own en suite bathroom, hull-side windows, and the same carefully considered design language found throughout.
One particularly practical aspect of the layout is the direct internal connection between the guest accommodation and the beach club, allowing guests to move from their cabins to the swim platform without needing to cross an exterior deck, a thoughtful design feature that enhances convenience throughout a charter vacation.
While the interiors may steal the headlines, ALVA's exterior spaces are equally well conceived for modern charter living.
The beach club forms a natural extension of the yacht, complete with its own sauna and direct access to the swim platform, creating an inviting waterside retreat after a day exploring secluded anchorages in the East or West Mediterranean.
Above, the expansive sundeck provides multiple social areas beneath a striking architectural hardtop, with a full-service bar, generous lounging areas, Jacuzzi and dedicated gym space combining to create one of ALVA's most versatile entertainment decks.
Additional alfresco dining can be enjoyed on the bridge deck aft, where guests can take advantage of shaded seating overlooking the aft decks, while the bridge deck lounge provides a more intimate setting for evening drinks, games or movies after sunset.
Matching her impressive onboard amenities is an extensive collection of water toys designed to appeal to guests of every age.
As an RYA Approved Watersports Centre, ALVA offers guests the opportunity to develop new skills while onboard, alongside access to a comprehensive inventory that includes:
- Two Sea-Doo WaveRunners and four F9 Seabobs
- Fliteboard and Flitescooter
- Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards
- Wakeboards and waterskis, and kite surfing equipment
- Scuba diving and snorkeling gear
- Fishing equipment
- Two tenders, including an 8.6m Pascoe tender
The yacht's generous swim platform and beach club create a natural launch point for watersports, while the spacious aft setup allows guests to transition effortlessly between relaxing onboard and spending time in the water.
Available for Mediterranean yacht charters throughout the summer season, ALVA is well positioned for itineraries taking in the French Riviera, the Balearic Islands, Croatia and the Greek islands.
Combining one of Amels' most successful contemporary platforms with a highly customized Harrison Eidsgaard interior, ALVA presents a compelling new option for charter guests seeking modern Dutch craftsmanship paired with thoughtful design and exceptional onboard comfort.
High-pedigree yacht charters fill up fast, and with the chance to experience a brand-new superyacht fresh from the yard, availability won't last long for ALVA. By contacting a yacht charter broker, you can liaise with someone who knows the region first-hand and can work with you to create a bespoke itinerary that is just as unique as the yacht itself.
