SALTY, an Alalunga motor yacht with a sociable flybridge and a full toy store
SALTY is an Alalunga motor yacht whose refit has given her a fresh, contemporary interior lit by plenty of daylight. The main salon runs into the dining area without a break, so one open room carries the day from a late breakfast to dinner and on to a film once the sun has gone. Seating is soft and generous, and the arrangement draws the most from her volume, giving everyone room to gather without crowding. It is an interior for people who like to share their time aboard, and it lets her crew look after guests in one relaxed space.
Her cabins lie below and can be arranged to suit whoever is aboard, with the master fitted out with particular care. Each one has sensible storage, modern entertainment systems and quiet, soothing décor, so the end of the day feels restful. Most hours, though, are spent outside, where she is generous. The aft deck hosts dinners under the sky with the sea a few steps away, while the foredeck offers a calm patch of sun for anyone who wants an hour alone with a book.
Climb to the flybridge and the pace slows. Padded loungers for sunbathing share the deck with a table where lunch can stretch well into the afternoon, and there is open seating for watching the coastline pass or for a drink as the light fades. Stabilisers work both on passage and when she lies still, which keeps a swim stop comfortable and the run between islands smooth. It is a deck that turns cruising into part of the pleasure rather than the time between stops.
The water is where SALTY shows her range. A Seabob and a Jet Ski Seadoo Spark suit those who want speed, while paddleboards, a kayak, snorkelling equipment, water skis for adults, a wakeboard and a tube give everyone else a way in. The inflatable platform makes a gentle place to lounge at sea level, and the Zodiac tender runs guests ashore. In Greece, where she cruises, her crew bring warm, professional service shaped by long experience of working together, attentive without ever intruding.
