Alfa Nero is an 82m motor yacht built by Oceanco and delivered in 2007, internationally recognised as one of the most influential superyachts of her generation.
Designed externally by Nuvolari Lenard with interiors by Alberto Pinto, she introduced design features that reshaped large-yacht architecture, including her convertible aft deck pool and expansive open deck layouts.
Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Alfa Nero offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins, supported by a professional crew of 28. Powered by twin MTU engines, she cruises at approximately 14–15 knots with a maximum speed of around 20 knots and long-range capability suitable for transoceanic passages.
Following a comprehensive refit completed in 2024, Alfa Nero presents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven, high-volume 80m-class yacht with enduring design relevance, robust engineering, and a strong charter and private-use profile.

Overview
Delivered by Dutch shipyard Oceanco in 2007, the 82-metre Alfa Nero occupies a singular position in modern superyacht history. From the moment of her launch, she was recognised not simply as a large yacht, but as a turning point in yacht design — a vessel that challenged conventions and introduced ideas that would shape the industry for years to come.
Designed externally by Nuvolari Lenard, with interiors by the late Alberto Pinto, Alfa Nero combined architectural clarity with artistic confidence. Her long, powerful profile, expansive aft decks, and bold use of contrast created a yacht that felt closer to contemporary architecture than traditional nautical styling. Nearly two decades on, her presence remains unmistakable.
Following a substantial refit completed in 2024, Alfa Nero is offered for sale in a condition that reflects both her iconic status and continued operational relevance.

Design & Naval Architecture
Alfa Nero was conceived during a period when Oceanco was redefining what was possible in the 80-metre-plus category. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she was engineered for long-range cruising, stability, and longevity — qualities that continue to define her appeal today.
Nuvolari Lenard’s exterior design is purposeful and restrained, balancing strong horizontal lines with carefully proportioned volumes. Her elongated aft deck configuration was highly unusual at the time of launch and has since become a widely adopted design language across the industry.
One of Alfa Nero’s most widely discussed innovations is her aft deck swimming pool, featuring a movable floor that allows the space to transform from pool to optional heli pad. This concept, first realised on Alfa Nero, has since been echoed across numerous high-profile superyachts — a testament to her influence rather than imitation.

Interior Design & Guest Accommodation
The interior design by Alberto Pinto reflects a confident, residential approach to luxury. Rather than following transient trends, Pinto created interiors that feel composed, architectural, and richly layered. High-gloss woods, stone finishes, bespoke furniture, and curated artworks define the atmosphere throughout the yacht.
Alfa Nero accommodates up to 12 guests in six cabins, arranged to prioritise space, privacy, and ease of circulation.
The Owner’s suite, located on the upper deck forward, spans the full beam and benefits from panoramic forward views, private office space, dressing rooms, and direct access to a secluded exterior deck with a private jacuzzi.
Five additional guest cabins are located on the main deck, an unusual and highly desirable arrangement that maximises volume and minimises stair use.
A dedicated staff cabin allows flexibility for additional personnel, security, or family use.
A discreet guest elevator serves multiple decks, enhancing accessibility and comfort throughout the yacht.
Oceanco Heritage
Founded in 1987, Oceanco has become one of the most respected custom superyacht builders in the world, known for innovation, engineering excellence, and long-term build quality. Alfa Nero emerged from a particularly influential period for the shipyard, during which several highly recognisable and forward-thinking yachts were delivered.
Within Oceanco’s portfolio, Alfa Nero is widely regarded as a defining project — a yacht that demonstrated how large-scale engineering and bold design could coexist successfully.
