YACHT INTRODUCTION

With slick, strong exterior lines this beautiful superyacht is made to explore, AKIKO offers a sumptuous adventure platform.
Fresh from an extensive refit, ākikō is ready for charter guests to discover. Throughout the 34-meter award-winning yacht, spacious living areas lead to full height windows which dare the passing views to vie for your attention with the impeccably decorated interior.
An expedition style motor yacht, AKIKO is versatile enough to enter small bays, anchor behind coral atolls or for game fishing over submarine reefs. First launched in 2007, she went on to pick up five major honours at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards.
The 112.14ft /34.18m Custom expedition yacht features a sophisticated exterior design and engineering by Gregory Marshall.
Previously named VvS1 (after a grade of diamonds), she was proudly introduced to the Australian charter market following an extensive refit in New Zealand in 2016-2017 by McMullen and Wing.
The warm colours of Australia accent an interior which is at once strikingly-modern, and invitingly-luxurious. A generous owner’s suite stretches full beam across the main deck, and four guest cabins complete the accommodation, with room for 10 live aboard guests housed in vibrant, individual spaces.
With an onboard private chef preparing a menu designed around your palate, and five additional crew to cater to your every need, ākikō delivers an opportunity to revel in spending time with the ones you love most. Onboard tenders, jet skis, kayaks, stand up paddleboards, an onboard dive master and scuba gear will all add to the experience – but ākikō’s true gift is time away from the rush of the world to enjoy a journey of discovery with friends and family.
ākikō is built with strict Lloyds Class survey requirements and is MCA compliant. to deliver a safe and capable cruising yacht.

YACHT TESTIMONIALS

Charter Client, 3-week Christmas charter, December 2018 in Papua New Guinea
“The Principal thinks that the yacht was built to a very high standard and is structurally in very good condition.. It is exceptionally quiet and the stabilizers are excellent. The artworks on board are beautiful.
The toys and dive equipment were very good.
The crew were all very good. He commented that Greg, as Captain, bent over backwards to ensure that they had the best experience and he appreciated that very much. Craig, the guide, was clearly well-connected and was good at explaining local customs, culture, etc.
The chef was really good and produced excellent food.
The chief stewardess was efficient and also a “phenomenal” trainer for their daily workout on deck.
The Principal confirmed it was an outstanding charter and the holiday of a lifetime. It is rare that I receive such positive and effusive reviews from him, so I can only say WELL DONE to you and your crew for an amazing job! He was still buzzing when he spoke to me.”
