Relaunch of the 82-metre Oceanco Alfa Nero post Martinique Shipyard's refit finalizes one of the most controversial tales in yachting, marking the famous vessel's return to the charter realm.

The much-awaited return of the high-profile Oceanco Alfa Nero, following meticulous refit by Martinique Shipyard, may put the end to its controversial position in yachting circles. In a turn of tides, the yacht is now ready to grace the charter market post-crisis. Hitherto Martinique Shipyard has docked military vessels in the Caribbean, with Alfa Nero marking its debut in the yachting space. While satisfying their client with a quick refit, the shipyard aims to claim supremacy in the domain of yacht services and refits in the Caribbean. Like an epic saga, the journey of Alfa Nero from entanglement into international sanctions and legal disputes leading to her abandonment and treatment as a wreck by the Antiguan government, to claiming a new identity under an undisclosed owner, marks an interesting chapter in the maritime sector. Now available for charter through Northrop & Johnson, after a sale of around $40 million earlier in the year, Alfa Nero is all set to steer clear of further complications and open a new chapter of success.
