1st Kando 85 explorer from Ava Yachts

At 25.70 m length overall, the Kando 85 is constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, and with a hull length of under 24 m, it can either be operated by crew or run privately as an owner-operated vessel.

Designed as a full-displacement world cruiser capable of immense distances and long periods at sea, the Kando85 boasts an outstanding interior volume of 160 GT, and with her 24000 lt fuel tanks and fuel consumption of just 63 lt/hr at a cruising speed of 10 knots, a range of over 4000 nautical miles is achieved. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 MH 450hp commercial-duty engines, the Kando85 will reach a maximum speed of 12 knots.

The standard internal configuration is a four-cabin arrangement with a main deck forward master suite.

Atilla Küçükdiker, the Chairman and Founder of AvA Yachts:

“This sale confirms our belief that there is very strong interest in a proper global explorer in this size range. Kando 85 is at the right size point to be able to be either a fully crewed yacht or for an experienced couple or family to either run it themselves or with minimal crew. Kando 85 is super strong with an underwater steel thickness of 8-10 mm and multiple watertight bulkheads for ultimate safety. Offering unrivalled equipment and technical levels, she is a phenomenally economical yacht that will take her new owners on adventures the world over safely and efficiently in complete luxury. We hope they will be very happy."

The keel was laid for Kando 85 in March 2024, and construction began with her being a speculative project. 

Kando 85 hull numbers #2 & #3 are commencing construction now and are available for purchase for Q1 2027 delivery.
