Alive - 2014
Equipped with under water foil (technically called Hull Vane®) Alive represents a dramatic advancement in performance. The sub-sea wing harnesses waves to produce power; this combined with the fast displacement hull and conventional diesel engines produce remarkable results. This has been proven during independent research conducted by Van Oossanen Naval Architects at two of the world’s most respected hydrodynamic laboratories: Wolfson Unit and Marin.
The bold exterior lines of Alive have been created by Frank Laupman from Omega Architects, who is also responsible for her interior design. Laupman has created a new bow design that combines a lower hull profile, and matches sea keeping behaviour with a relatively short overall length.
The Hull Vane (optional) harnesses waves to produce power. As the yacht moves forward, water flowing over the wing produces lift and as a consequence, thrust. Using conventional engines, a fast displacement hull and Vane, this yacht has a range of over 4,000 miles. Using 30 per cent less fuel, this remarkable yacht is both the fastest and most economical of her size and as a result 750 miles are effectively free. More for less.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.
Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
