A 2004 Oceanco is a known quantity. A 2004 Oceanco that has just come out of a multi-million-euro refit is something else, and Alfa G is worth looking at on those terms.
She was delivered from Alblasserdam as Sea Pearl, one of the 60-metre hulls that established Oceanco’s reputation for volume and quiet engineering before the yard moved into the 90-metre-plus class. Two decades on, her hull and machinery are exactly the argument for chartering her: heavy displacement steel, a proven Caterpillar package, and the kind of build quality that responds well to money spent on it. In 2024 a great deal was spent. She returns to the charter market with her interior reworked and her systems brought current, and the yacht that comes back is materially better than the one that went in.
Start with the profile, because it is the first thing you notice and the last thing most 60-metre yachts get right. Alfa G runs a navy hull under a white superstructure with a red boot stripe at the waterline and a raked black mast standing over the bow. She looks like a ship rather than a floating apartment block. At anchor among a line of white hulls she is immediately identifiable, which matters more to guests than it probably should.
The refit’s clearest work is inside. The design language is Art Deco read through a modern lens — bold striping, black and white stone, gold used sparingly as punctuation rather than as a finish. It is a decisive interior. Nothing about it is neutral, and it avoids the beige consensus that a lot of refits settle for. The main saloon opens through full-height glass to the aft deck, with a bar set into one corner and a grand piano forward. Dining is a separate room, seating twelve under a cluster of amber glass.
Above, the owner takes a duplex: a two-level apartment with a private lounge and study on the upper floor and the sleeping accommodation below, which gives the principal guests a genuine second address on board rather than a large cabin. Six further cabins carry the remaining guests, and several are configured for families — twin berths, bright colour, and finishes that will survive children.
Wellness is properly resourced. The sundeck pool runs a counter-current system, so it works as a lap pool rather than a plunge. There is a hair salon on board — a real one, with a chair and a basin — available for treatments on request, and an air-conditioned gym with free weights and cardio equipment. Between them they cover a week at anchor without anyone needing to go ashore.
The deck spaces are the other reason she charters well. Shaded dining sits aft on the main deck, a bar and lounge run across the upper aft deck, and a circular daybed on the sundeck catches the last of the light. The swim platform carries jet skis, an inflatable park and a tender launched over the side.
Seventeen crew serve twelve guests. She cruises at 12.5 knots, tops out at 15, and holds 1,184 gross tonnes — generous for her length. Alfa G charters the western Mediterranean.
