The wheelhouse, located on the highest deck, delivers a 225-degree view. The office is separated from the wheelhouse by a glass bulkhead, maintaining privacy while providing visual access to vessel operations. A NACOS integrated bridge system displays information on any of seven screens. A CCTV system monitors the yacht through 18 cameras, six of which scan the engine room and seven that keep watch on deck. A night-vision camera keeps watch from the mast. The system records continually onto a hard drive and stores all movement for up to seven days; desired images can then be selectively copied onto alternative media.

With a capacity of nine terabytes, the VOD/AOD entertainment system stores up to 1,000 DVDs and 800 CDs, playing audio into every room including dayheads and lobbies. The onboard cinema offers two viewing options: a 65-inch HD LCD display or a fully automated HD projector system. Both feature THX 7.1 surround sound.

From his years of yachting, the owner developed a definitive yet uncomplicated opinion of what a yacht should be. This vision was successfully translated to Alfa Nero’s design.

"The nautical experience takes into consideration the needs of owners, guests and crew so that everyone will be comfortable and the crew perform well," the owner says.

It’s a simple task, yet one that is stunningly realized in a build that sets the motor yacht standard, not only for Oceanco, but for the yachtbuilding industry in general. Look around Alfa Nero, and it’s apparent that the owner’s experience and expectations were exquisitely brought to life by Oceanco’s talented and artful realization of the design.
