AvA Yachts / AvA Yachts Kando130
The Kando130 is the 40 metre flagship of AvA Yachts’ core explorer range, a steel-and-aluminium long-range yacht built to cross oceans and live aboard in genuine superyacht volume. A high-tensile steel AH36 hull, aluminium superstructure, bulbous bow and full-displacement form carry 490 GT across her decks, and twin 1,000 horsepower Cummins diesels give her a stated range beyond 7,000 nautical miles. That reach, drawn from 80,000 litres of fuel at an economical cruise, puts remote cruising grounds within a single passage.
Inside, she is laid out as six staterooms, led by a 35 square metre full-beam owner’s suite with full-height windows. Five further double guest cabins and separate crew quarters, served from a captain’s cabin at the wheelhouse, let her carry a full party in comfort with discreet service. The main-deck and upper salons are glass-walled entertaining spaces, and her flybridge, with jacuzzi and bar, opens the yacht to the sky.
AvA designs and builds every hull in-house at Antalya, controlling naval architecture, steel fabrication and joinery under one roof, so the interior is fully bespoke and the owner deals directly with the builder. Furuno navigation, Sleipner thrusters, fin stabilisers, twin Kohler generators and Bureau Veritas class complete a serious expedition specification. For a buyer who wants true 40 metre volume and transoceanic range without stepping into full custom-superyacht territory, the Kando130 makes a strong, well-judged case.

More than 7,000 nautical miles defines the Kando130. A full-displacement hull and bulbous bow let her return that range on twin 1,000 horsepower Cummins diesels, and 80,000 litres of fuel feed genuinely transoceanic legs. At a 10 knot cruise she is efficient, stretching the distance between fuelling stops and opening up high latitudes and remote island groups most yachts her size never attempt. Furuno navigation, bow thrusters and fin stabilisers support the long watch-keeping rotations that distance cruising demands. This is a yacht conceived to leave the marina circuit far behind.
She is built for endurance, not sprint. Top speed sits at 14 knots with an economical 10 knot cruise, the displacement profile trading outright pace for sea-keeping and efficiency. The steel hull carries weight low and the bulbous bow smooths her entry through a swell, so she holds a comfortable motion when conditions build. Twin 1,000 horsepower diesels, Kohler generators and fin stabilisers give the redundancy and ride comfort that matter far from port. The payoff is a yacht that keeps moving steadily when lighter planing boats would be forced to slow or shelter.
The Kando130 carries the family face at its largest scale: a purposeful bow, tall topsides and a broad flybridge with jacuzzi, bar and sun loungers. Carbon fibre decorative rails and stainless steel detailing lift the look above pure utility. The wide beam is carried well aft to create expansive deck real estate, and a transformer swim platform opens the stern to the water for tenders and water toys. The profile is confident and modern without chasing fashion, the kind of silhouette that still reads well in a decade at anchor.
Six staterooms is a commanding count. The 35 square metre full-beam owner’s suite sits forward with full-height windows and a private outlook, while five further double guest cabins sleep a full party in comfort and separate crew quarters keep service discreet. The main-deck and upper salons are bright, glass-walled spaces rather than afterthoughts, and AvA’s in-house joinery allows a fully bespoke fit-out in fine leathers, stone and timber. With 490 GT to work with, she lives like a considerably larger yacht.
She is engineered for owners who cruise seriously but want a manageable programme. Bureau Veritas pleasure class, twin Kohler generators, Furuno electronics and a layout a professional crew can run keep operating complexity in check. Build origin is AvA’s own Antalya yard, giving direct access to the team for customisation and after-sales. With a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and 490 GT of volume, the Kando130 is specified as a go-anywhere flagship that still fits the berths and budgets a far larger custom explorer would strain.
