The Kando90 answers a clear brief: cross oceans in comfort without the running costs of a far larger yacht. At 28.2 metres she pairs a steel AH36 hull with an aluminium superstructure, keeping weight low where it matters and strength high where the sea demands it. A bulbous bow and full displacement hull give her a 5,200 nautical mile range on modest twin Volvo Penta D11 power, so she reaches remote anchorages that most yachts her size never attempt.
Volume is the real story. Four decks and a 7.2 metre beam open into a 42 square metre main salon and a 36 square metre upper lounge, both wrapped in full-height glass. The owner’s suite runs the full beam forward, with its own wall of windows and direct sightlines to the water. Five further cabins sleep guests in genuine comfort, and two crew cabins keep service discreet.
Four helm stations, a wide flybridge and carbon fibre detailing mark her as a serious long-range platform rather than a coastal cruiser. AvA Yachts designs and builds in-house in Antalya, and the Kando90 shows the benefit: a fully custom interior, Bureau Veritas class, and a layout tuned to how owners actually live aboard on long passages. For a buyer who wants expedition reach in a manageable, characterful package, she makes a strong case.

Five thousand two hundred nautical miles is the number that defines her. A full displacement hull and bulbous bow let the Kando90 return that range on a pair of modest Volvo Penta D11 diesels rather than thirsty high-output engines, and 33,000 litres of fuel feed genuinely transoceanic legs. At a 10 knot cruise she sips, stretching time between fuelling stops and opening up high latitudes and remote island groups. Four helm control stations, including interior and flybridge positions, suit the long watch-keeping rotations that distance cruising demands. This is a yacht conceived to leave the marina circuit behind.
She is built for endurance, not sprint. Top speed sits at 15 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 510 horsepower diesels and twin 60 kW Kohler generators give redundancy that matters far from port. The payoff is a yacht that keeps moving, comfortably, when lighter planing boats would be forced to slow or shelter.
The Kando90 wears the Kando family face: a purposeful plumb-ish bow, tall topsides and a broad, workmanlike flybridge. Carbon fibre decorative rails lift the detailing above pure utility. Across four decks the exterior gives over generous square metres to sunbathing and alfresco seating, and the wide beam is carried well aft to create usable deck real estate rather than narrow side decks. The look is confident and modern without chasing fashion, the kind of profile that still reads well in a decade.
Six cabins is a strong count for 28 metres. The full-beam owner’s suite sits forward with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private outlook, while five further guest cabins mean she sleeps a full party in comfort. The 42 square metre main salon and 36 square metre upper lounge are bright, glass-walled spaces rather than afterthoughts, and the 15 square metre owner’s area feels like a proper apartment at sea. AvA’s in-house joinery allows a fully bespoke fit-out, so no two Kando90s need read the same.
She is engineered for owners who cruise seriously but want a manageable programme. Bureau Veritas pleasure class, two Kohler 60 kW generators, and a layout a compact professional crew can run keep operating complexity in check. Build origin is AvA’s own Antalya facility, giving buyers direct access to the team for customisation and after-sales. With a 250 GT-class volume, aluminium superstructure and steel hull, the Kando90 is specified as a go-anywhere yacht that still fits comfortably into berths and budgets a far larger explorer would strain. For expedition ambition at a sensible scale, she is hard to fault.
