Judges’ Special Award for Quality & Value
Cantiere delle Marche (CDM) Nauta Air 108’ Narvalo, designed by Nauta Design, won the Superyacht Award for Judges’ Special Award for Quality & Value.
The award were given during the gala dinner and awards ceremony organised by Boat International in the “Salone dei Cinquecento” in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
CDM Nauta Air 108’ Narvalo is an explorer yacht designed by Nauta (exterior and interior), with naval architecture by Hydrotec/Sergio Cutolo. She was launched in summer 2016 and represents the third project in the Nauta Air line. The next Nautic Air is an 111ft yacht that will be launched shortly.
According to World Super Yacht Awards: “The judges were impressed by the design, build quality and price of Narvalo, which they felt was a perfect example of a ‘pocket explorer yacht’ that combines sought-after characteristics with excellent value for money. Built by Cantiere delle Marche to a design by Nauta, Narvalo offers all the essential elements of an explorer, including long range, good autonomy in respect of supplies that allows her to remain at sea for extended periods, high internal volume, a sturdy and well equipped 5.5m tender and good seaworthiness.
“On top of this, she can also fill the role of a traditional motor yacht, with well-sized cabins, an internal dining saloon and two lounges, as well as spacious well-considered deck areas. Importantly for a vessel that will remain at sea for long periods, the volume and facilities of the crew spaces provided in a yacht of this size, were also admired by the judges. Finishing second in her class to a much more costly vessel, she is a worthy winner of this award.“
