AKIKO

AKIKO is a remarkable 34-meter award winning expedition yacht crafted by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand in 2007.

AKIKO is not just a yacht; she’s a masterpiece of maritime craftsmanship. Her excellence was recognized early on when she won five major awards at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards.

Since her launch, she has been meticulously maintained, ensuring that every inch of her reflects the highest standards of quality and luxury. Renowned for her elegance and versatility, AKIKO underwent a comprehensive refit in 2023, which included a hull extension, a complete interior refit, and new paintwork.

AKIKO, which translates to “at a distance from home” in Maori, truly embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration. She features five opulent guest suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom, accommodating up to 12* guests overnight in utmost comfort.

The yacht’s design is distinguished by full-height windows that flood the interior with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The full-beam master suite is a standout feature, providing a lavish retreat with generous space for relaxation.

What truly sets AKIKO apart is her versatility and is built for exploration.
Her design allows her to enter small bays, anchor behind coral atolls, and navigate inland waterways with ease. Whether you dream of exploring the remote Kimberley region, discovering hidden gems of the Whitsunday, diving on the Great Barrier Reef or cruising the pristine waters of the South Pacific, AKIKO is the perfect vessel to make those dreams a reality.

A yacht is only as good as her crew, and AKIKO boasts one of the best. Among her experienced team is a local guide who specialises in adventurous expeditions through the Kimberley. Their deep local knowledge extends to the pristine waters of Papua New Guinea, ensuring that every charter is filled with unique and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re navigating the rugged coastlines of Australia or diving into the vibrant underwater worlds of the Coral Sea, AKIKO’s crew will guide you every step of the way, offering insights and expertise that turn a simple voyage into an extraordinary adventure.

AKIKO’s extensive refit preserved her original allure while incorporating contemporary updates, ensuring she continues to deliver an exceptional experience on every voyage.
