SPRITZ 116 Yacht for Sale

A straight bow facilitates water entry and relatively modest power is sufficient to bring the yacht up to a 12 to 13 knot cruising speed. The Alpha 116 is fitted with twin MAN V12 1,650hp, which is extremely economical yielding a range of up to 3,000 nautical miles.

Outdoor spaces are exceptional, with multiple areas where guests can stretch out in full sun or shade. But even inside guests are never disconnected from the environment. The installation of the windows ensures constant visibility of the water and sky, even from the bed. The effect is particularly stunning in the full-beam owner’s cabin where the windows are oversized and less than half a meter over the water. “It gives you the feeling of being on the main deck,” says Cassetta.

Key features of the aft section of the deck include a hydraulically operated platform capable of supporting a tender, a 2,000-litre plunge pool that can be covered up with teak to serve as a dance floor, an outdoor lounge overlooking the pool, and a vast and well-protected dining area large enough for 12 guests. Another great lounge with plenty of seating is found on the foredeck while the 100 square meter flybridge deck boasts an incredible impression of space and panoramic views.

“The whole vision for the range was addressing the needs of people who own those boats, rather than those of the yard – to ignore compromises that are usually accepted to make yachts cost-effective and unnecessarily conservative in style and layout,” he says. Key examples are the 7’ 3” ceilings, extensive sound insulation, floating floors, crew cabins with elevated beds, gentle and wide stairs, wide beds, full-size showers and closets, custom paint touches at the waterline and on the radar domes. The list goes on.

“It’s the standard you’d expect on a 45 or 50 meter yacht. And everything is home-sized, which is what I love,” says Cassetta who also designed the interior spaces.
