Alpha Custom Yachts

Alpha Custom Yachts is a yacht builder that emerged from the experience of second-generation builders and designers. The company was founded in 2017 by Roberto Martel and established its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Alpha Custom Yachts designs and constructs a range of motor yachts.

The shipyard focuses on creating yachts with an emphasis on incorporating owner input throughout the design and build process. Their approach integrates insights from previous yacht ownership and operational experience into the development of new models.

Alpha Custom Yachts maintains a production facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where their vessels are manufactured. This facility combines traditional boatbuilding techniques with modern construction methods.

The company's model lineup includes various series such as the Alpha Express, Alpha Spritz, Alpha Spritz II, and Alpha Spritz III. These series are designed to offer different configurations and amenities while maintaining common design principles. The yachts typically feature large windows, open-plan interiors, and integrated outdoor spaces.

Key design partners for Alpha Custom Yachts include Luiz DeBasto Designs, who has contributed to the exterior and interior styling of several models, and the Laurent Giles Naval Architects, responsible for the naval architecture. This collaboration aims to blend aesthetic design with hydrodynamics and structural integrity.

Alpha Custom Yachts positions itself in the market by offering semi-custom yachts, allowing for a degree of personalization beyond standard production models. Their yachts are generally built using fiberglass (GRP) for the hull and superstructure, employing vacuum infusion techniques to optimize strength and weight.

Since its founding, Alpha Custom Yachts has focused on expanding its model range and presence in the global yacht market, particularly in North America and Europe. The company continues to develop new designs and technologies for its upcoming models, aiming to meet evolving owner preferences and industry standards.
