Society Awards in 2016, VIPY is honoured to showcase Narvalo, the esteemed flagship of builder Cantiere delle Marche. Also a World Superyacht winner this year with the Judges’ Special Award for Quality & Value, she is a vessel fully-justified of her attractive accomplishments.
Launched in 2016, the 110-foot Narvalo is the first in a new class of explorer vessels and the latest in the yard’s Nauta Air Explorer Yacht series.
Purposefully manufactured for adventure, a charter on this vessel bestows its guests with the epitome of spacious living; an audacious boast supported by her 538 square feet of outdoor deck space. With an experienced, fervent crew who enjoy watersports and exploration, Narvalo is ideal for family and friends seeking a carefree retreat.
Possessing 20% more volume than other yachts within her size category, the vessel accommodates five cabins, 12 guests, and six crew members with a cabin configuration of three doubles, and two twins able to convert into doubles. The primary room is a main-deck master stateroom with an office and ‘his’ and ‘hers’ ensuites. The alternative cabins feature doubles and two convertible twins with an additional Pullman berth in each.
Utilising a modern simplicity in her interior design—which produces a striking appearance—the contemporary aesthetics are easy on the senses, promoting tranquillity. Tasteful Italian décor creates a warm hospitality with light oak floors, glass, leather, and polished steel highlights. A splendid glass-sided staircase connects all three decks.
With a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a maximum velocity of 14 knots, Narvalo promises safety and security as guests explore the beautiful, tropical islands with her long-range capability of 5,000 nautical miles at nine knots; however, for those who seek relaxation and perhaps less exploration, the yacht herself is more than equipped to cater the humble request of serenity.
The conspicuous and popular aft deck possesses panoramic views while allowing guests to step down to a submersible swim platform, giving easy access to the sea, tenders, and water toys. With a huge variety of aqua equipment including a Williams Jet tender, stand-up and three-seater jet skis, six GoCycles, two Seabobs, a Lampuga jet surfboard, paddleboards, kayaks, water-skis, fishing gear, and a range of towables and inflatables, one would be challenged to find a more complete watersports yacht haven.
The extensive sundeck harbouring a sunbathing area, Jacuzzi, dining area, and bar arena foretells of many sociable evenings while enjoying the sunset. If directed toward electronic entertainment, a removable 44-inch TV can be prepared for alfresco movie nights.
Large windows on all three decks contribute to the expansive yacht, offering natural light that aids the airy flow of the vessel.
State of the art audio-visuals throughout, an iPad controls the system including Apple Airplay, Apple TV in all guest areas, Plex Video on demand, and Denon surround sound.
Should the vacation demand more than relaxation and exploration, full gym equipment onboard allows for continuation of a healthy lifestyle. A NordicTrack elliptical trainer, TRX suspension trainer, dumbbells, resistance bands, and yoga mats are all available.
