NBL 103 will exhibit a wide hull and a 12-metre beam and boasts expansive deck spaces. Notable design elements include wraparound windows on the main deck, fold-down bulwarks on the swim platform, and a vibrant bright blue hull.
The interiors reflect the serenity of a sailing yacht, adorned in neutral hues, light-wood parquet flooring, and subtle accents of muted colours. The main saloon will feature a lounge to port, a wine cellar that will act as a focal point, and a dining table to starboard, complemented by a stylish bar upon entry.
The sundeck is uniquely designed to house a square-shaped sit-up bar, thoughtfully situated to trace the forward curve. Alfresco dining on the main deck and a functional beach club lounge, complete with a gym further enhance the opulent living spaces onboard.
The NBL 103 will be built to comply with RINA class standards and is set to be equipped with a top speed of 16 knots. According to online sources, Nebula Yacht is also currently working on a 57-metre motor yacht, expected for delivery in summer 2024.
