The Squalo 100 is Alpha Yachts’ entry into the sub-100-foot displacement motor yacht market, and she arrives with the kind of specification that larger programmes struggle to match at this size. At 30.02 metres overall and 127 tonnes displacement, she carries the mass and waterline length to deliver genuine long-range capability, with 1,800 nautical miles at 9 knots opening transatlantic passages and extended Mediterranean seasons without the need for frequent bunkering.nnDesigned by Roberto Curto, the exterior profile balances a modern superstructure with a hull form optimised for efficiency rather than raw speed. Standard twin MAN V8 engines deliver a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots, with an optional 1,300hp upgrade adding two knots at the top end for owners who value the extra pace. Five guest cabins accommodate ten, each with its own en-suite bathroom, while two crew cabins house a team of five.nnThe aluminum hull and superstructure provide inherent strength and corrosion resistance, with a 203 GT volume that yields generous interior spaces without the visual bulk that steel construction at this size sometimes produces. Draft of 1.79 metres keeps the Squalo accessible to a wide range of marinas and anchorages, an advantage that deeper-drafted contemporaries cannot offer.

Standard propulsion pairs twin MAN V8 1000 hp engines for a 13-knot top speed and 12-knot cruise, while an optional 1300 hp upgrade lifts performance to 15 knots maximum and 14 knots cruising. Range of 1,800 nautical miles at 9 knots gives the Squalo 100 genuine trans-Mediterranean capability and opens Atlantic crossing possibilities with careful fuel management. With 14,500 litres of fuel capacity, she carries enough reserves for weather routing flexibility without shore-side top-ups on every leg. Draft of 1.79 metres keeps shallow harbours and Bahamian anchorages accessible, an advantage at this size. An innovative floating floor and floating wall system supports the lower and main deck structures, isolating engine vibration and reducing noise transmission to living spaces. The result is a quieter cruise than conventional structural approaches deliver at this displacement.
Roberto Curto gave the Squalo 100 a bold, angular profile that sets her apart from the softer curves typical of sub-35-metre yachts. Dark-tinted glass wraps the superstructure in a continuous band, lending a visual continuity from bow to stern that makes the boat read larger than her 30 metres. Multiple hull colour options are available, from classic white through grey and black to an assertive red. The flybridge offers a choice of layout configurations, each balancing open sunbathing with shaded entertaining. Aft, the beach club opens to the water at dock level, with a spa pool positioned on the main deck for elevated views. A tender garage accommodates a Williams or equivalent without cluttering deck space, and the overall deck flow moves guests between levels without bottleneck points or awkward transitions.
Five guest cabins accommodate ten overnight, with the owner suite positioned forward on the main deck for privacy and natural light. Guest cabins include double and twin configurations, each with en-suite bathrooms finished in stone and glass. The interior design by Curto maintains a cohesive material palette: warm timbers, leather-wrapped surfaces, and a restraint that avoids the over-decorated tendency of some Italian yacht interiors. Cabinet doors close silently, storage is concealed behind flush panels, and the overall impression is one of careful editing rather than accumulation. Two day heads serve the main deck social spaces, and a separate crew accommodation of five in two cabins sits forward with its own access and service galley.
The main saloon connects directly to the aft deck through sliding glass doors, creating a single social zone that adapts to weather and occasion. A formal dining table seats eight to ten, with a bar area that serves both interior and exterior entertaining. The flybridge provides a second complete living deck with its own bar, seating, and sunbathing areas, effectively doubling the usable social space. Connectivity to the water runs through the aft beach club, where the swim platform drops to sea level for direct access. An outdoor lounge pool, a wine cooler, and expansive entertainment screens complete the onboard amenities. What distinguishes the Squalo 100 from her competitors is the intentional flow between these zones: each space opens into the next without dead-end corridors or single-purpose rooms.
Built in aluminium at the Alpha Yachts yard in Italy, with naval architecture by Massimo Verme, the Squalo 100 carries a gross tonnage of 203 to 212 GT depending on enclosure options. Water capacity of 3,700 litres and waste capacity of 2,600 litres support extended cruising without frequent pump-outs. An optional SCR system with 1,100 litres of urea capacity addresses emissions requirements in regulated zones. Pricing for the Squalo 100 sits around 3.7 million euros, positioning her competitively against comparable semi-custom aluminium yachts from Turkish and Dutch yards. With four hulls now delivered and the build process refined through series production, the Squalo 100 offers the reliability of a proven platform combined with the design individuality that Alpha Yachts has built its reputation on.
