Turkish yacht builder AvA Yachts once again proves its engineering mastery with the Kando 130 XL — a true long-range explorer yacht designed for those who demand strength, comfort, and autonomy on the open sea.
Blending cutting-edge naval architecture with timeless elegance, Kando 130 XL redefines what it means to cruise far in complete confidence.
Strength in Steel, Lightness in Aluminum
Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the Kando 130 XL offers both robustness and efficiency. Measuring 39.1 meters (128’3”) in length with a beam of 8.5 meters (27’11”), this tri-deck motor yacht commands presence while maintaining exceptional stability.
With 8–10mm underwater steel plating and multiple watertight bulkheads, she ensures enhanced safety and durability — a testament to AvA Yachts’ commitment to uncompromising quality.
Ocean-Going Power and Endurance
At her heart, Kando 130 XL is powered by twin 750 HP Volvo Penta D16MH engines, providing a cruising range of up to 7,000 nautical miles at 10–11 knots.
With 45,000 liters of fuel capacity and 6,600 liters of fresh water storage, she’s engineered for transoceanic voyages without refueling stops. Her displacement hull form, long shaft fixed propellers, and advanced hydraulic systems make her both fuel-efficient and reliable — ideal for owners seeking global exploration capabilities.
Elegance Redefined: A Floating Private Residence
Designed to host 12 guests across 6 spacious cabins, the Kando 130 XL offers an atmosphere of quiet sophistication. Each space is crafted with satin-finished wood veneers, custom-built furniture, and textile or leather upholstery, creating a warm, contemporary aesthetic.
The main deck salon is surrounded by panoramic windows, while the flybridge features a 4–6 person jacuzzi, a fully equipped bar, and generous sunbathing areas — perfect for relaxation and entertainment at sea.
Every area, from guest suites to crew quarters, benefits from the WEBASTO 280,000 BTU chilled water air-conditioning system, ensuring total comfort in all climates.
