New Yachts for 2010.
New to the Alba fleet for 2010 are Shadowfax - a lovely Dufour 36 and Flyer II - a delightful Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 35.  We can now confirm that for 2010 we will have a Moody 54 in the fleet. The last word in luxury yachting. The full spec and photos are here. We beleive that this is the largest yacht in Scotland available for bareboat charter. It has already created an enormous amount if interest.  Please note that although she is a very large boat, she accommodates just 6 people max - but in consummate luxury!!
