Short History of vessel: ‘Aloata’ has never been chartered, she has been well maintained in the past and only had four owners. The third owners Mr and Mrs Stokers (British) had her last 20 years and crossed the Atlantic 2 times, Finally, they have been cruising in Mediterranean and Aegean waters and lifted her out of water when the COVID-19 pandemic Started. The vessel was a shore of Delta Marina, New Harbour, Kyrene, North Cyprus. She needed a lot of work and unfortunately, North Cyprus was not furbish for such work (replacing Mizzen i.e.) and Mr and Mrs Stoker felt they were too old to deal with this work consisting of sailing her to Turkey which was the closest place to get all the job done. Now Present owner Mr Uyguner who is a former boatyard owner has bought her, took to the boatyard, and fixed her up to the best available quality and material.
The 2023 refit has breathed new life into this sailing icon, incorporating cutting-edge technology, upgraded systems, and contemporary design elements. Every inch of this yacht has been meticulously restored, ensuring its timeless beauty and enhancing its performance on the water.
