AvA Yachts Kando 85
About this yacht
The AvA Yachts Kando 85 represents a compelling approach to explorer yacht design, where robust ocean-crossing capability meets refined onboard living. At 25.7 meters, this steel-hulled motor yacht delivers the range and resilience serious cruisers demand, wrapped in contemporary styling that favors clean lines and expansive glass. Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the Kando 85 handles extended passages with confidence. Twin diesel engines push her to a top speed of 14 knots, though she's most at home cruising at 9 knots—a pace that unlocks her impressive 4,500-nautical-mile range. This transatlantic capability positions her as a genuine explorer, ready for ambitious itineraries far beyond coastal waters. The 7.5-meter beam creates generous interior volume—200 gross tons—that translates into spacious accommodation for up to 16 guests across four decks. The layout centers on a full-beam master suite, complemented by a VIP cabin and two additional guest cabins, each with private facilities. Full-height windows throughout flood the interior with natural light while maintaining uninterrupted views of the surrounding seascape. Social spaces flow naturally from the open-plan galley through the formal dining area to the main salon, creating an environment equally suited to intimate gatherings and larger entertaining. Outside, multiple deck areas provide varied settings for relaxation, culminating in a flybridge option that adds another dimension to outdoor living. A jacuzzi can be incorporated for those who prioritize onboard wellness. What distinguishes this explorer yacht is its focus on practical luxury—high-grade materials and sophisticated finishes applied with purpose rather than excess. The displacement hull with bulbous bow prioritizes efficiency and comfort over outright speed, while the CE Category A classification confirms her suitability for extended offshore passages. For owners seeking a capable powerboat that balances go-anywhere ambition with genuine comfort, the AvA Yachts Kando 85 offers a well-considered package. She's built for those who view yachting as exploration, where the journey itself holds as much value as the destination.
