AL WAAB

AL WAAB is a 54.73-metre steel displacement motor yacht built by Alia Yacht in 2021 and refitted in 2025, registered in the Cook Islands. Her exterior and interior design are both by Vripack, a Dutch studio known for functional efficiency and clean contemporary aesthetics. At under 500 GT and five years of age, she represents a relatively young vessel with a recent refit cycle behind her.

AL WAAB is well-suited to charter groups of up to 12 guests seeking a modern, spacious yacht in the western Mediterranean. Her six guest cabins and nine crew provide a solid service ratio for relaxed, comfort-focused itineraries along the French Riviera, Corsica, Monaco, and the French coast. Her concentration in these western Mediterranean waters makes her a focused option for guests who want to explore a specific region in depth rather than cover broad distances. She is less appropriate for guests seeking extended offshore passages or a wide choice of regions, and those wanting a large watersports programme may find her inventory limited based on available data.

The Alia Yacht build brings Turkish yard experience in steel construction to a Vripack design brief, resulting in a vessel whose proportions at just under 500 GT are efficient for her length. The 2025 refit is a current-cycle refresh that positions her hull and systems at a recent standard. Caterpillar twin engines drive her to a maximum of 13 knots with a 3,300nm range, characteristics suited to the relatively short passages of her western Mediterranean charter regions.

Onboard, AL WAAB offers a beach club, bathing platform with crane, a deck jacuzzi, gym, outdoor bar, sun deck, bow thruster, and at-anchor stabilisers — a set of facilities that supports both active days at anchor and comfortable evenings at sea. The beach club in particular is well-configured for guests who want easy water access as part of their daily routine. Crew service across 9 staff for 12 guests allows for attentive but not over-staffed operations.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
