About Crewed Motor Yacht AVA
AVA is a CRN 130 motor yacht built in 1976, rebuilt and extended to deliver spacious, comfortable cruising for discerning clients. Her elegant design combines seaworthy engineering with refined interiors across five cabins, accommodating up to 11 overnight guests or 49 day cruisers. The newly redesigned aft deck is purpose-built for entertaining, with unobstructed sightlines across the Principality.
The master suite occupies the main deck with a separate dressing room and office space, convertible to guest accommodation. Three double and two twin cabins complete the sleeping quarters, each fitted with generous storage, television, DVD, safe, and audio systems. The yacht's layout prioritises comfort and functionality for both intimate family charters and larger corporate gatherings.
A full-width staircase descends directly to the sea, creating an integrated recreation platform. This unique feature streamlines access to the water toys collection, tenders, and leisure activities. The open aft deck remains the focal point for alfresco dining and entertaining, particularly during Monaco's racing calendar.

The Charter Experience
Based in Monaco, AVA commands the French Riviera's most coveted cruising grounds. Charter weeks allow clients to explore Antibes, Cap d'Ail, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and the Îles d'Hyères with full crew support. The yacht's shallow draft and tender operations grant access to secluded anchorages whilst maintaining proximity to the Côte d'Azur's finest dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Monaco itself offers unmatched year-round appeal, particularly during the Grand Prix season when the Principality transforms into the Mediterranean's epicentre of motorsport and celebration.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might anchor off Port Hercules for race events or entertaining, then sail eastward to Villefranche-sur-Mer for fine dining ashore. Days follow at Îles d'Hyères or Cap d'Ail for water sports and swimming, with afternoons exploring Antibes' old town and galleries. Evening returns to protected anchorages ensure comfort whilst wave runners and tenders access remote coves unavailable to larger vessels.
