The exterior design of luxury yacht ALIDA emphasises the indoor-outdoor connection, thanks to numerous glass insertions in the bulwarks and 180-degrees floor to ceiling windows of the 102 sq/m sky lounge. She boasts a bold and distinctive character, thanks to vertical windows on the main deck, as well as an original “shark-tooth” design detail on the overhang of the wheelhouse.

Boasting the innovative Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) technology, super yacht ALIDA will have frugal fuel consumption. Two MTU 8V 4000 M63 diesel engines have been installed aboard the well-engineered FDHF devised by van Oossanen and further developed by the yard’s in-house naval architects. The vessel is expected to have an amazing range of 4,500nm at 13 knots, while a cruising speed will be 15 knots at 85% maximum continuous rating.
