6 NEW ALL-WEATHER ALPHA 34
Lymington-based broker Alex Grabau is representing a new brand of sporty wheelhouse boats from Lithuanian yard Navis Pro. The 34 Alpha Cruiser is a sturdy GRP craft with a fully enclosed helm and deck saloon conceived by Finnish naval architects Stråhlmann Yacht Design.
With an LOA of 33ft 8in (10.3m), a maximum beam of 11ft 4in (3.45m), a deep-vee hull and a substantial wheelhouse with slightly forward-raked windshield, it looks well suited to Northern European waters.
The main deck layout is asymmetric, meaning the cabin is offset to port with a larger side deck to starboard protected by a deep bulwark, and only a narrow walkway to port. The cockpit features an L-shaped transom sofa as well as an aft-facing bench opposite, and full overhead protection from the coachroof overhang, plus a good-sized bathing platform.
The wheelhouse is configured with a dinette to port and a galley to starboard. The navigator’s bench has a reversible backrest so it can face forward or become part of the dinette. The single-seat helm to starboard also has a sliding door next to it for easy access to the side deck as well as additional ventilation.
Down below there are two double cabins and a shared bathroom with head and shower compartments.
Power comes from a pair of 230hp Yanmar 4LVS hooked up to sterndrives. The quoted top speed is around 37 knots, and the range is claimed to be almost 500nm from the 800-litre tank. Prices start at €250,000, excluding taxes.
The first boat is already afloat at the
Navis Pro yard and is available for sea trials by prior arrangement with the broker.
