Alfa Nero yacht: 82 m Oceanco charter review, weekly rates and video tours

The verdict

Alfa Nero is an 82-metre Oceanco from 2007, best known for the aft-deck pool that rises flush with the deck to serve as a helipad or dance floor (YachtBuyer). She takes 12 guests in six cabins with a crew of 26, and her published rate for summer 2027 is €880,000–930,000 a week plus expenses (Northrop & Johnson). After two years laid up in Antigua she was sold in 2024, refitted and returned to charter for the 2024/25 winter (Boat International). She suits a group that wants a big party deck and a full water-toy garage more than the newest interior; note that she is also on the market for sale.

Questions

How much does it cost to charter Alfa Nero?

The published base rate for summer 2027 in the Mediterranean is €880,000–930,000 per week, and $880,000–930,000 per week for winter 2027/28 in the Caribbean, plus expenses (Northrop & Johnson). An older listing without a year gives €812,500–875,000 for summer (YachtCharterFleet). Expenses such as fuel, food, berthing, VAT and crew tips are charged on top.

Can you still charter Alfa Nero?

Yes. She returned to charter after a 2024 refit, with Northrop & Johnson as central agent, and her relaunch was set for the Antigua Charter Yacht Show in December 2024 (Boat International). Rates are published through winter 2027/28 (Northrop & Johnson). Bookings go through a charter broker; charter.ly is a review site and does not take bookings.

What happened to the Alfa Nero yacht?

She was held in Antigua from 2022 after sanctions against her previous owner (YachtBuyer), and the government of Antigua and Barbuda declared her abandoned (Boat International). An auction in June 2023 was not completed because of legal complications; she was finally sold in July 2024, which cleared debts to creditors and crew (Boat International). The reported price was $40 million (Fortune, July 2024). She was then refitted and returned to charter.

Is Alfa Nero for sale, and how much is she worth?

Yes. She was listed for sale in August 2025 at an asking price of €88,500,000 (YachtBuyer), and Fraser added her to its sales fleet in December 2025 (Fraser). An asking price is not a valuation; the last reported sale price was $40 million in July 2024 (Fortune).

How many guests can Alfa Nero accommodate?

Twelve guests in six cabins: a master suite on the upper deck with its own office and private deck with a Jacuzzi, two VIP suites and three further cabins, served by a crew of 26 (Northrop & Johnson, YachtCharterFleet).

Does Alfa Nero have a helipad?

Yes, a convertible one. The aft-deck infinity pool has an adjustable floor that can be raised flush with the deck to form a helipad or an open entertainment space (YachtBuyer).
