Thirty two knots at the top, and she holds that line without drama.
Twin MAN V8 1200 engines are standard, with twin Volvo Penta D13 1000 or Caterpillar C18 units offered as alternatives, giving the 52 S a 32 knot top speed and a 25 knot cruise that she settles into without strain. Aluminium construction keeps her lighter than a fibreglass hull of equivalent length, which shows most clearly in how quickly she comes onto the plane and how little she pitches once there. A 1.5 metre draught keeps her out of the shallowest anchorages, but rewards that compromise with a hull that tracks cleanly at speed and a 300 nautical mile range from her 4,000 litre tank, enough for a genuine day’s run along the coast and back.
She is built as an open boat first, and every line on her follows from that decision.
At 5.5 metres across the beam, the 52 S carries enough width to keep her open deck from feeling like a single long corridor, and Alium’s design team has used that width to separate the bow lounge, the helm and the aft terrace into distinct zones rather than one continuous space. The hull sits low and planing, aluminium rather than fibreglass, with a sheer line that stays level from bow to transom instead of sweeping upward toward the stern. There is no flybridge and no enclosed saloon to interrupt the profile. What is left is a clean, purposeful shape built for speed and open air, true to the sport open character she was designed around.
The aft deck does more work here than on most boats twice her size.
A central cooking island anchors the stern terrace, fitted with a grill, a sink, an ice maker and refrigeration, built for an owner who entertains on the water rather than simply sunbathing on it. Bar seating wraps the island, and the terrace itself runs to roughly 36 square metres, open directly to the sea at the transom. Forward, the bow carries its own lounging area, giving guests a quieter spot away from the activity aft. Eight day guests can spread comfortably across these zones without ever feeling like they are sharing a single deck, and a crew of two keep the galley and service running without getting in anyone’s way.
Below deck, the 52 S trades none of her open air character for comfort.
Two cabins sleep four, finished in the same clean, contemporary language Alium carries through the brand: pale joinery, deep headroom and enough glazing to keep the cabins bright rather than cave like. A kitchen and a bathroom sit below as well, built for genuine use rather than as a backup to the cooking island above. It is not a large interior, and it is not trying to be. The 52 S gives her accommodation just enough presence to support a weekend aboard, while keeping the open deck, rather than the cabins, as the reason an owner chooses her in the first place.
Built in aluminium, by a French yard that builds nothing else, the 52 S is a considered choice rather than an impulse one.
At 15.85 metres with a 5.5 metre beam and a 1.5 metre draught, she sits in a size bracket that is easy to crew, easy to berth and genuinely fast, with a 4,000 litre fuel capacity behind her 300 nautical mile range. Engine options across MAN, Volvo Penta and Caterpillar let an owner specify the powertrain that suits their cruising pattern rather than accepting a single standard fit, consistent with Alium’s semi custom approach across the range. Two cabins, berths for four and a crew of two complete a specification built for an owner who wants a fast, open boat that can still host a proper weekend away.
