26m AvA Yachts Kando85 Motor Yacht V Launched

AvA Yachts has launched the 26m motor yacht V, introducing a new series from the Turkish shipyard and marking a major milestone as the yacht progresses towards delivery.

Built by Turkish shipyard AvA Yachts, V is the first hull in the builder's Kando85 series. Designed entirely in-house, including the exterior styling, interior design and naval architecture, the 200GT yacht balances long-range cruising capability with practical, owner-focused living spaces.

A new chapter for AvA's explorer yacht range

The launch of the yacht for sale represents an important milestone for AvA Yachts as the first completed example of its Kando85 platform. Developed for owners seeking extended cruising capability, the yacht features a displacement hull designed around efficiency, durability and long-range performance. Built with underwater steel measuring between eight and ten millimetres thick and incorporating multiple watertight bulkheads, the yacht reflects the expedition-focused philosophy that has become synonymous with the Kando range. Her purposeful profile showcases explorer yacht styling with the volume and comfort expected of a modern cruising yacht.

Outdoor spaces designed for life at sea

Guest areas onboard the boat for sale have been arranged to maximise comfort during extended periods onboard. The aft deck features integrated seating surrounding an alfresco dining table, creating a social space for meals and relaxation while cruising or at anchor. A generous swim platform provides direct access to the water, while the foredeck has been dedicated to leisure with a Jacuzzi positioned to take advantage of panoramic views. The combination of practical deck circulation and dedicated entertainment areas supports the yacht's role as a capable long-distance cruising platform.
