2016 M/Y DARWIN 102'

M/Y ACALA is a 31-meter explorer yacht built in 2015 by Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) as part of the acclaimed Darwin Class series. Designed for an experienced owner with a passion for diving and remote cruising, ACALA strikes the perfect balance between technical robustness, generous volumes, and onboard comfort.

Its steel and aluminum construction, combined with a full-displacement 244 GT hull, ensures exceptional stability and reliability—ideal for ocean crossings and worldwide exploration. The onboard systems are derived from professional marine engineering, built for continuous 24/7 operation. With outstanding autonomy and safety features, ACALA is a true expedition vessel in a compact, ocean-ready package.

The interiors, designed by renowned architect Simon Hamui, feature an elegant "explorer" style with high-end finishes: liquidambar (sweetgum) wood paneling, hand-stitched leather drawers, antique brass Waterworks fittings, and refined freestanding furnishings create warm, sophisticated, and functional spaces throughout the yacht.

She accommodates up to 12 guests in 5 well-appointed cabins: the full-beam owner’s suite forward, two VIP cabins aft, and two twin cabins amidships with bunk beds. The crew quarters are fully separated and accommodate up to 7 crew across 4 cabins, including a captain’s cabin located just behind the wheelhouse for optimal operation and privacy.

ACALA also features a full diving center located in the lazarette, equipped with a Nitrox compressor, tank racks, gear lockers, 3 Seabobs, and a 2-ton crane capable of launching tenders over 6 meters. Her expansive exterior includes multiple lounge and dining areas on every deck, plus a sun deck with pool, bar, and solarium—ideal for extended time at sea.

ACALA is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a solid, elegant, and expedition-ready explorer yacht with full equipment, top-class finishes, and a 2023 interior refit already completed.
