In this series of articles, we take a look at the best charter deals currently on offer, as judged by our very own editors. What, Why, Where and Who, forms the basis of these articles. This week we focus on the 30 metre superyacht Novela, which is now available for charter in the stunning waters of the Adriatic.
What is on offer?
Custom built by the Italian shipyard CBI Navi in 2000, Novela’s overall layout was designed by the renowned Luca Dini Design firm. In 2013, she underwent a complete redesign and refit, supervised by yacht designer Sas Milosavljevic. She is now completely fitted with state of the art technology and amenities, including an entertainment system controlled through strategically placed mini iPads, accessing over 200 films and 2000 songs. Novela also now boasts an assortment of water toys including skidoos, paddle and wake boards, a 3-man flyer and an eight-metre tender.
Stepping onboard brings you to the spacious aft deck, which can comfortably sit ten guests for cocktails around her beautifully designed coffee tables or twelve for formal dining, offering supreme comfort and sophistication. When walking through the large sliding door you will enter the exquisitely designed main saloon.
For more elegant entertaining alongside a the grand piano and cocktail bar, this area is placed behind a beautifully carved glass horse engraving, which really makes quite a feature when lit during the evening.
Novela accommodates up to eight guests in four generous staterooms. The spectacular master suite is located on the main deck, boasting a split-level, full beam owner’s cabin adjoining a private office area.
Three guest cabins are located on the lower deck, including an aft VIP cabin which benefits from the full beam of the yacht as well as large portholes with striking views.
Why do we think she is great?
The 134-square metre sundeck offers a few hidden surprises. This decadent area is the ideal space to unwind and relax with one enormous sun pad, that is perfect for soaking up all the magnificent sites, and a large spa Jacuzzi where you can take in the beautiful surroundings in complete privacy.
The stern lower deck holds a large swim platform providing easy access for dipping into the ocean on those sizzling summer days, as well as being a great area to take advantage of the extensive array of water sports available onboard.
Furthermore, one of her most attractive additions is most certainly found in her award winning chef. Born and raised in Croatia, Robert Predrag Zmire secured the title of Croatia’s first ever Master Chef. His team reveal that “Robi is a true ‘Master Chef’. He has the freedom of creativity to prepare his dishes onboard super yachts, without the constraints of fixed menus, its these factors that first attracted him to the dazzling world of yachting.
When is she available?
Novela is available for charter throughout the summer season in the Adriatic and rates start at €65,000 per week.
