Accommodations

ALVA is a beautifully appointed flybridge motor yacht that perfectly blends timeless styling, exceptional comfort, and practical cruising accommodations. Her spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout offers an inviting interior that feels much larger than expected. Custom bedspreads were added in 2024 and the interior curtains were replaced in 2023

Below, the well-designed galley is complemented by a comfortable dinette to port, creating the perfect space for entertaining or extended cruising. Forward, the owner's stateroom features a queen island berth with a private ensuite head, while the guest stateroom to starboard offers twin berths with a conveniently located guest head to port.

The expansive salon is filled with natural light and provides generous seating to both port and starboard, creating a warm, open atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining. Just one step up is the lower helm station, thoughtfully positioned to starboard for excellent visibility and easy operation.

Step outside into the oversized teak cockpit, an ideal gathering space featuring comfortable transom seating and molded steps leading effortlessly to the flybridge. The wide swim platform makes boarding from either side safe and convenient while providing excellent access to the water.

The flybridge is exceptionally spacious, offering a dual helm seat, companion lounge to starboard, and an expansive aft deck with plenty of room for additional seating, storage, or entertaining. A clear Plexiglas safety enclosure adds security without sacrificing visibility, while the fiberglass hardtop, supported by a heavy-duty aluminum framework, provides excellent protection from the elements.

Wide side decks allow easy access to the foredeck from either side, and tan canvas window covers help keep the interior cool while protecting the cabin from direct sunlight. Throughout the vessel, substantial 316L stainless steel handrails provide outstanding safety and confidence underway, reflecting the quality construction and thoughtful design found aboard ALVA.
