ALHAMBRA is a stunning classic 35.4-metre motor yacht built by the legendary Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 1970, a true canoe-stern gentleman’s yacht that perfectly blends classic styling with modern luxury. Originally launched as Jardell and commissioned by an American businessman, she comes from the period that shaped Feadship’s global reputation, and her proportions, detailing and hull form still carry that unmistakable Dutch-yard identity today. After a comprehensive three-year refit completed in 2022, which touched everything from her steelwork and stabilisation to all-new interior panelling, lighting, bathrooms and exterior systems, she remains the epitome of luxury while retaining all the character of a golden age of yachting. Her elegant exterior showcases beautiful classic styling, with a long, clean, low and lean profile, a fine entry forward and a beautifully tapered canoe stern of a kind modern yachts rarely attempt, while her interior is elegant and contemporary. Built on a full-displacement steel hull and superstructure over three decks, she is comfortable and sea-kindly, fitted with both underway and zero-speed stabilisers for exceptional comfort, cruising at around 12 knots with a top speed of 14 knots and a range of some 2,500 nautical miles. Her interior, designed by Anita Unger, is a conscientious blend of beautiful walnut panelling, muted soft greys and light-coloured linens and a brilliant use of space, creating a warm, welcoming and refined ambience that makes guests feel instantly at home. The principal guest space is the open-plan main salon and formal dining area, where a large marble dining table sits to port and a large L-shaped sofa forward, the open layout allowing guests to flow seamlessly between dining and living, all illuminated by plenty of natural light from the bordering windows. Life on deck is exceptional, with the classic canoe-stern layout providing a wealth of relaxation areas. Her sundeck has been completely restyled to incorporate two large central lounge areas that form the perfect alfresco cinema for a film under the stars, with a forward bar and stools, an aft settee for alfresco meals, a teppanyaki table and full sun awnings for shade. The main deck aft offers further alfresco dining and a lounge at the stern, where a new passerelle and stern door allow guests to go swimming directly, while a large sunbathing area is found on the foredeck. Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests in four beautifully appointed en-suite staterooms. The full-beam master suite features a king-size bed and a modern en-suite, refined with a combination of dark-toned wood and light-coloured linens, while a VIP cabin with large windows, a further double cabin and a convertible twin or double cabin complete flexible, comfortable accommodation, all en-suite and ideally suited to families and groups of friends. A professional crew of six ensures relaxed, attentive and highly personal service throughout. Powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines, ALHAMBRA has built an enviable charter reputation in the western Mediterranean, and offers charter guests a rare combination of classic Feadship pedigree, a warm and elegant Anita Unger interior, a superb restyled sundeck and the timeless romance of a genuine gentleman’s yacht, all at outstanding value on the charter market.
