A closer look
The Aft Deck Lounge
Beneath the canvas, the aft deck unfolds as the heart of outdoor living. Sink into the plush cushions with a cool drink, the gentle hum of the sea a constant companion. This shaded haven offers panoramic views of the unfolding coastline, perfect for languid mornings with coffee or vibrant evenings under a canopy of stars. It’s a space designed for convivial conversation and quiet contemplation alike, connecting you intimately with the surrounding seascape.
Saloon's Coastal Vista
Within the main saloon, large windows frame the ever-changing maritime canvas, bathing the interior in natural light. Here, comfortable seating invites relaxation, perhaps with a book or a film on the integrated TV. The air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the midday sun, ensuring comfort without ever disconnecting you from the beauty just beyond the glass. It’s an elegant, airy space, ideal for both lively gatherings and moments of quiet repose.
The Foredeck Trampolines
Forward, the catamaran's signature trampolines beckon. Feel the spray on your skin as you recline, suspended just above the waves, the sun warming your face. This is an exhilarating vantage point for spotting dolphins or simply enjoying the sensation of speed as NOVA carves through the water. It’s a playful and invigorating space, offering an unparalleled connection to the ocean's raw energy and beauty.
Helm Station Views
Adjacent to the main living areas, the helm station offers a glimpse into the art of navigation. Observe the skilled captain at work, charting your course through ancient waters. With its commanding views and sophisticated instruments, this area is a testament to the yacht's sailing prowess, inviting curiosity about the journey ahead and the seamless operation of this magnificent vessel.
Inviting Swim Platform
At the stern, the integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters. Whether you’re plunging in for a refreshing dip, preparing for a paddleboard adventure, or simply dangling your feet in the cool sea, this platform is your gateway to aquatic enjoyment. It’s robust, secure, and perfectly designed for seamless transitions from deck to ocean.
Accommodation
NOVA’s four cabins are meticulously arranged to provide comfortable retreats for eight guests. Each space is a serene haven, thoughtfully appointed with clean lines and a soothing palette. The layout ensures privacy and tranquility, allowing for restful nights after sun-filled days. Each cabin offers a private escape, complete with individual climate control, ensuring every guest enjoys a personalised level of comfort. The design maximises the yacht's generous beam, creating surprisingly spacious interiors that invite complete relaxation.

Culinary experiences aboard NOVA are crafted to delight. Fresh, local ingredients, sourced from the vibrant markets of the East Mediterranean, form the foundation of every meal. Whether served al fresco on the aft deck, under the gentle sea breeze, or within the elegant saloon, each dish is a celebration of flavour. The dedicated chef prides themselves on tailoring menus to individual preferences, ensuring every meal is a bespoke journey for the palate, from sun-drenched breakfasts to starlit dinners.
While NOVA does not feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht offers a profound sense of wellness. The constant rhythm of the sea, the fresh air, and the warmth of the sun are inherently restorative. Engage in invigorating swims, practice yoga on the expansive foredeck, or simply unwind with a good book in a secluded spot. The ice maker ensures refreshing drinks are always at hand, contributing to a feeling of refreshed vitality.
The ocean becomes your playground with NOVA’s comprehensive collection of water toys. Glide across the surface on a paddleboard, explore hidden coves by kayak, or feel the thrill of being pulled on the tube or wakeboard. Water skis, available for both adults and children, promise exhilarating speed, while floating mats offer a leisurely way to drift. Light fishing gear invites a moment of quiet contemplation, perhaps yielding the freshest catch for dinner.

What a yacht like NOVA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on NOVA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 19m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
