Project name
Kando 85
V is the first yacht in AvA Yachts' Kando 85 series, a 25.70-metre steel-hulled long-range explorer designed and built at the shipyard's facility in the Antalya Free Trade Zone, Türkiye. She was launched on 5 June 2026 and delivered to her owner in July 2026 following commissioning and sea trials.
Dimensions and construction
M/Y V has a 23.90-metre load-line length, a beam of 7.50 metres and approximately 200 GT of internal volume distributed across four full decks. AvA Yachts specifies an AH36 steel hull, 5083 aluminium superstructure and 8–10 millimetre underwater hull plating, with the yacht built to CE Category A.
Machinery and range
Propulsion is provided by two Volvo Penta D13-MH engines rated at 450 hp each. AvA Yachts reports more than 5,000 nautical miles of range at nine knots from 24,000 litres of fuel during sea trials, while the yard states that range can extend to approximately 12,000 nautical miles at lower passage speed.
Accommodation and comfort
The yacht accommodates nine guests in four cabins, including a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck, with dedicated accommodation available for two to three crew. Exterior features include a foredeck Jacuzzi, while zero-speed fin stabilisers and dual Starlink connectivity form part of the delivered specification.
AvA Yachts says independent ISO-accredited testing recorded approximately 50 dBA in the owner's cabin at cruising speed and vibration in the accommodation areas below the threshold of perception.
First Kando 85
V is hull number one of the Kando 85 series. Following her July 2026 delivery, the yacht is scheduled to make her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September before appearing at the Monaco Yacht Show later in the month.

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.
